Movie Music Monday: Bollywood goes dubstep

Yash Chopra meets Skrillex in this big tune from the film Ishaqzaade, "Aafaton Ke Parinde." Composer Amit Trivedi melds the breakbeats and electronic rhythms of dubstep with more traditional Hindi film instrumentation and vocal style to create something at once completely in line with both seemingly disparate genres and yet wholly original and exciting. (Now I want a 7Wallace Bollywood track...)

Restless City opens today, Friday, April 27

Andrew Dosunmu's gorgeously picturesque and atmospheric drama Restless City makes its official theatrical debut in cinemas this Friday, April 27 through the AFFRM, the African-American Film Festival Releasing Movement. The film will initially release in New York, Los Angeles, and Atlanta on April 27; then expand to Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Washington, DC the following Friday, May 4; and then will roll out to other markets in the weeks thereafter. My review of the film from last November's AFI Fest is here.
