I'm much more of a Hindi film fan than I am of any of the southern industries, so generally when it comes to Bollywood films that have counterparts in other languages I only ever bother to watch the Hindi. I added Saathiya to my collection last winter and just picked up Alaipayuthey this week. I haven't watched Alaipayuthey yet (there's never time!) but I did take a few minutes to check out Yaaro Yaarodi, the Tamil original of one of my all time favorite songs, Chalka Chalka Re.
I don't think Yaaro Yaarodi holds up to Chalka Chalka Re--I've gotten used to the pace of the Hindi version and the original seems too fast and a bit jumbled. My favorite line of any song in the world, "Baabula chhoda tera anganaara," got sort of lost in Yaaro Yaarodi. Hrmph.
So which video is your favorite? It's actually a close call for me...I prefer Maddy over Vivek but Chalka Chalka Re wins for me because Rani is just so cute!

Song of the Day--Fanaa (Yuva)
Fanaa
Film: Yuva
Starring: Ajay Devgan, Abhishek Bachchan, Esha Deol, Kareena Kapoor, Vivek Oberoi, Rani Mukherjee
Music by: A.R. Rahman
Per Danielle's request...nay, demand, here's a great dance number from the film Yuva. Yuva has an all-star cast and a fantastic soundtrack by AR Rahman (Oscar-winner for his work on Slumdog Millionaire) which is worth owning in its own right. Want another tie-in to Slumdog Millionaire? Towards the end of the film people are seen dancing to a music video. The music which plays is Aaj Ki Raat, from Don, but if you look closely, the actual video in the background is this one. You can clearly see Kareena dancing on the screen. Speaking of dancing, who let Vivek anywhere near choreography? And are those red velveteen pants?! Oh my.
