November 29, 2008: Bombay Meri Hai
An hommage to Bombay (Mumbai) and Bollywood in the wake of this week's events.



Stills from Teesri Manzil (1966).


If you're curious about lyrics to any of the Indian film songs played today, here's one of several sites that has them, at least for some of the classic songs: http://www.hindilyrics.net.

And this site - http://www.uiowa.edu/~incinema - has great overviews of many classic Bollywood films (and some fabulous stills including those pictured above).
