[edit] remixed version?

As far as I know, the Intro of Inside Man featured the original song. Only the end credits have this terrible hip-hop-thingie by Punjabi MC.

I checked on IMDB and it said otherwise. --Shell <e> 15:11, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Inside Man uses a slightly remixed version in the opening (some additional trumpet overdubs). The ending credits is also slightly dfiferent. I have seen both movies and I own the original CD soundtrack so I instantly recognized this difference. I am making the change to the article. --FK65 20:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] remixed version?

says song is sung in hindi, but sounds more like urdu, there are certainly urdu words in there such as janaat, imam, kalma etc. And i know the lyracist is known to write in urdu.

It's definitely in Urdu, but I think for the sake of not starting an edit war in every article related to Indian movies, we can just leave it as Hindi. Fkh82 22:43, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Confused as to why someone thought the train sequence was shot in Tamil Nedu. The IMDB lists all the shoot locations for the film - which takes place mainly in the north and TN is very far south - and TN is not one of them.

[edit] Meaning of title?

A really good song by all accounts. But can anyone explane what "Chaiyya Chaiyya" actually means?

See here for all you would ever want to know about the lyrics. Grover cleveland 07:55, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title in Devanagari seems wrong

चैंय्या is surely incorrect (also note that the Hindi interwiki link doesn't lead anywhere). The Sanskrit for "shadow" is छाया, and the Platts online dictionary has a derived Hindi form छायाँ : The singers very clearly nasalize the final syllable in the soundtrack. Not sure how the word got from छायाँ to छैय्याँ though -- poetic licence maybe? Grover cleveland 07:55, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I note that the Urdu interwiki link for چیّا does lead to a real article and is thus presumably correct. Can someone who knows both Urdu script and Devanagari check the transliteration? Cheers! Grover cleveland 08:15, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Chaiyya Chaiyya.ogg

Image:Chaiyya Chaiyya.ogg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Dilsecover.jpg

The image Image:Dilsecover.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
• That this article is linked to from the image description page.
