Bollywood music is making waves across the globe, from a club in Stanford to the Kodak Theatre

It's a YouTube clipping you're unlikely to run if you're not an ice-skating fan. Yet, it went viral. People from Silicon Valley to Chennai, most with no interest in ice-dancing, have been forwarding it with a “This you've got to see!”shouting from the subject box. It has racked up 2,10,000 views, a mega count for a figure-skating programme.

Flip it on and you know why. The movements of skaters Meryl Davis and Charlie White are Bollywood tango, and the music is from “Devdas”. Anju Rajendra, who combines Bollywood music and dance with exercise at her BollyFit studio in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is credited with showing them the Indian dance style and suggesting the music. Couldn't have chosen a better tune to enlarge the fan base, Meryl told an interviewer.

Bollywood music has broken the ice barrier. But, that's just one more platform for this brand that went international when Raj Kapoor doffed his lal topi to Russians. Since then, Bollywood's original and re-mixed — but readily identifiable — strains have been heard everywhere, from a club in Stanford to the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. Jai Ho!

Young Germany wrote about it in its India Special edition titling it Germany Grooves to Bollywood's Beat. Bollywood devotees from all over Europe have been making a yearly pilgrimage to Stuttgart for the July Fest since it kicked off in 2004, it said.
