dil se..

I've just seen Dil Se, a musical that is rumoured to have inspired (partly, I suppose) Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge. It's a tragic love story of a mysterious girl and an innocent journalist. There's the subject of terrorism again (Rang De Basanti, Fanaa, Mission Kashmir, anyone?). Not a typical Bollywood movie as many scenes were filmed in Kashmir, Buthan and other non-Swiss locations. Fantastic cinematography. And the soundtrack? Well, it's A. R. Rahman. I don't think he has ever written anything less than outstanding. Five songs, five jewels.
