Tuneful Tuesday: Too Cool for Bollywood

These are songs that are technically part of Bollywood, but go far beyond the masala cheesiness of a lot of the films.

This first one has a violence warning. An interesting film, but problematic of course. Beautifully shot however, and some of the best use of Bombay scenery ever.



This song 'Saigal Blues' is from the film Delhi Belly, albeit as background music for the opening. The clip below is compiled by someone else though. It's worth a look. :)


Duniya (World) from the film Dev D just makes me dance, but not in a creepy Bollywood way. Almost like ska/rap. Either way, I loves. Can't hurt that Abhay Deol is so cute and trying to flee north from Punjab into Uttarkhand and possibly Kashmir. <3


Delhi 6 was not a good film at all. Which is a shame, because the music was fantastic, and I want to love films that have cities as their backdrop. And with Sonam Kapoor? Oh! She is a goddess.


Peepli Live caused controversy. Beautiful scenes however, and the controversy needs a big debate. Meantime, just enjoy the music.
