3 days to come face to face with Beera and Ragini, Ram and Raavan, Rahman and Sivan, with Mani Ratnam’s latest. Can you feel the thrill?

‘Des Mera’ from Indian Ocean’s 2003 album ‘Jhini’ <http://preview.fm/159717034> features on the upcoming Peepli Live soundtrack.
Music: the one saving grace when stuck doing.. anything. Tabla artist Talvin Singh’s ‘Ha’ currently rescuing me from exam prep. #fusionmusic
@sukhi_c Dev.D and Aamir had some of the most refreshing compositions from the Hindi film industry in a long time. Hope Udaan has some more!
The movie: Udaan, by debutant Vikramaditya Motwane. Might remember him as Dev.D’s screenwriter. Also, Amit Trivedi.
