Ok, what do you call a turban-lovin’ pornstar from Punjab?

I think it's highly likely younger filmmakers will bring the music to wider audience.

A lot of what used to be called 'Arthouse movies' in India have featured D&B and it started to get annoying. Bollywood is now catching on and it's getting equally tiresome.

Hey…I’m going to be in SF when they do their ‘Dhamaal Sights and Sounds Festival’, although I don’t know what that is.

I can so see them being picked for a bollywood movie soundtrack!

Hmmm…not so sure Bollywood has got a clue who they are, but rather like Tigerstyle, Bikram Singh, Jasbir Jassi and Achanak, Dhamaal are on the soundtrack for Project Gotham Racing.
