Life in Jai Ho

Today when i woke up as usual my brothers were watching tv. But i noticed in Info for Astro Kirana that a movie called Life In A Metro was going to start in half an hour, which was 11.30am lol. I booked it and went to get ready. The movie was very nice. It was set in the metropolitan of Mumbai with corporate people. Funny and dramatic at the same time. Lol we were rooting for the characters by the time the movie was in climax.

Something that i've noticed happening lately is the merging of Hollywood and the rest of the English speaking world with Bollywood. Of course it's been happening all the while but it's more concentrated of late. The obvious example is Slumdog Millionaire. Everyone has gotten in the bandwagon and one of them are The Pussycat Dolls. The Oscar award winning soundtrack from the movie, Jai Ho have been covered by the Pussycat Dolls as well. They sang the English version with AR Rahman called Jai Ho (you Are My Destiny).

The video was shot in Vienna, Austria in an abandoned train station, which is now a museum, in the middle of winter yet it looks as if it's shot in a Mumbai train station. They have recreated the ending dance sequence in the movie as their video and i just love it. The Dolls look quite Indian in the video, clad in modern Indian wear, especially Nicole.

Wonder why AR Rahman agreed to let them cover the song. Perhaps coz of the sarees they wore to the 2008 Fashion Rocks.

PCD ROCKS!!!
