My Favorite Song from the Movie Hare Rama Hare Krishna
Commenting on my post from a week ago, Sitaji of Bollywood Food Club reminded me of the excellent post that she wrote on the movie Hare Rama Hare Krishna, centered on the same clip that I posted here, for the movie’s hit song Dum Maro Dum.
(Although that wasn’t the first time I’d heard that song, nor, curiously, did I first hear it from any clips from the film. I first heard it in a different, live version about a year and a half ago, when I picked up a compilation called Sitar Beat! Indian Style Heavy Funk Vol. 1.)
The Bollywood Food Club post also mentioned another song, O Re Ghunghroo Ka Bole.
But neither of those songs is my favorite from this superb soundtrack. Now that I’ve seen a few clips (though, admittedly, not the full movie yet), I have to say that my favorite song is the one with the English title: “I Love You.” As with a few choice songs out there, once I heard it, I just couldn’t get it out of my head!

That song does really get into the brain. I love this kid’s version of it. It takes a minute before the song actually starts, but it’s worth the wait:

Yeah, that’s pretty good!
