Song of the Day--Sapnon Se Bhare Naina (Luck By Chance)



I can't get enough of this track!  If you haven't seen Luck By Chance yet, get on it!  It's a really well acted film with a unique storyline, great dialogue, and, as evidenced by this song, a fantastic soundtrack.  (Plus Farhan looks crazy hot and there's a great plot featuring Hrithik Roshan!)

Song of the Day--Noorie



It's not Bollywood, per se, but I've loved this song ever since I heard it on the Bend It Like Beckham soundtrack.  It's by Bally Sagoo, featuring Gunjan, and the video definitely used to creep me out!

Ladies Special: Barbara Mori, Priyanka Chopra, and Freida Pinto

Kites may be headed for a flop, but Barbara Mori is already looking ahead.  When asked at a recent press conference if she'd signed any more Bollywood films, she replied that she hadn't, but added "I want to work with Shahrukh Khan!"

Priyanka Chopra is busy shooting for Vishal Bhardwaj's Saat Khaan Maaf, in which she plays a woman who murders seven (!!) of her husbands over a span of 40 years.  Says Priyanka, "“In Saat Khoon Maaf my character ages from 20 to 60. That’s really tricky. We’ve done a looks test of me at 60. Will I look hot as a 60-year old? I hope so!"

Freida Pinto and Dev Patel are getting married!

Hrithik Roshan on CNN

A few days late, but CNN's Connector of the Day segment has produced another interesting interview, this time with Hrithik Roshan.  After opening with a bit of a promo for Kites, the host peppers Hrithik with a few...er...annoying questions from fans (annoying in that Duggu's probably answered them each a million times before; there's nothing particularly noteworthy or new there).  I did love his answer to the question "how does it feel to be a heartthrob?"  His reply?  "It feels good, but you have to realize there is no unconditional love."

Wise words indeed.

Song of the Day--Pyar Ki Peer Suhani (Bilwamangal)



Full disclosure:  I know very very little about this song and the film it comes from.  I had a lovely Bollywood calendar that I turned into wall art, and one of the posters in the calendar was of Bilwamangal.  The film released in 1954 and starred Suraiya, Ulhas, C.H. Atma, and Asha Mathur.  Suraiya herself is singing this song, which is really starting to grow on me.  Hope you like it as much as I do!
