Bollywood on American pop television


I walked into the room where my wife was watching the American program So You Think You Can Dance - sort of an American Idol for dancers as opposed to singers. To my amazement, one of the American teams, Joshua and Katee - an African-American and an Asian-American - were performing a highly emotive, kick-ass Bollywood number to to Hindi music. The song was Dhoom Taana from the Bollywood picture Om Shanti Om. This was ground-breaking fun for an otherwise cheesy television show. I loved the whole idea and was pleasantly surprised to see another of my favorite blogs, Salon's How the World Works writing about it as well. YouTube.
