Undisputable facts about Bollywood

There is no doubt that the greatest actor Bollywood ever had, or is likely to have, is Mr. Amitabh Bachchan.

There is no doubt whatsoever that the coolest movie he ever made is Don (1978) - a very dramatic crime story full of blood and tears, that will have you rolling off the sopha with laughter.

No reasonable person can doubt that the coolest song in Don is Khaike paan Banaarasvala ("When you've eaten betel from Benares..."). Check the video. It rocks. It's a bloody ear-worm. It was originally meant for another film, but who cares? Don would not be half the fun without it, and it has really become its message. Sing this on any street in India, and you will have five hundred million people crowding around you, joining you in the chorus.

It may be a bit surprising that the person who dances best to this song's tune should be a blonde, blue-eyed girl from Central Europe. But about that, too, there is no shade of a doubt.
