tidbit:
The current Hollywood Blockbuster "INSIDE MAN" starring Denzel Washington, is the #1 movie currently. The opening and closing moments of this movie have the unforgettable ARR hit "Chaiyya chaiyya" and also in the credits!!
and its worth mentioning that the recent hollywood flick "Lord of Wars" also had the Rahman's Bombay theme music.
Great going for ARR and very good news for all music lovers.
