5.0 out of 5 stars Liked the movie but LOVE the soundtrack!, March 26, 2006

I saw Spike Lee's "Inside Man" Friday night with a friend and we both enjoyed the movie a lot. The very unexpected payoff was that we enjoyed the song "Chaiyya Chaiyya" (enhanced with rap/hip-hop and even a tinge of Lord-of-the-Dance colors) so much that we were the last to leave the theater just so we could hear the very last note of that long remix. The song made me want to get up and bellydance even though I wouldn't know how. I told my friend he simply got to pick up that CD pronto--and he did first thing Saturday so that by the time he picked me up for our Saturday evening date we could listen to that CD in his car.

According to what I found online, "Chaiyya Chaiyya" is from the Bollywood movie "Dil Se," released in 1998. That particular song became a hit not only in India but also in England and elsewhere. The "Chaiyya Chaiyya" music video was also very popular because it featured people dancing on top of a moving train, including the director himself.

The other cuts on the soundtrack are also top quality and very enjoyable. I haven't wanted to purchase or listen to a movie soundtrack since Hannibal (2001) and so this Inside Man soundtrack really hit me as a very pleasant surprise. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys good music of any genre.

Enjoyed seeing 'Inside Man' by Spike. I was energized with the opening title soundtrack 'Chaiyya Chaiyya', so much so that I searched till I found a copy of it from the movie 'Dil Se'. The rhythm was excellent. Went looking for more music like this to no avail. Will keep searching... very enjoyable!

5.0 out of 5 stars Chaihya Chaiya- from A.R. Rahman, March 27, 2006

Chaiya Chaiya is from the Bollywood Music Composer AR Rahman who has changed the style of bollywood music since early nineties. He is also the music composer of the grand $28 million opera LOTR opened in Toranto,Canada recently. Me and couple of my indian friends at the theater were taken aback when the title track "chaiya chaiya" started. We were definitely feeling proud of the that inclusion.
The original song was picturised on a small toy train over the green himalayas of North East India (in the state of Arunachal Pradesh) close to China Border. It featured Shahrukh Khan , a very popular hero in Bollywood with awesome choreography.
