Bollywood has given a lot of albums to the itunes store for a few years, but here’s the thing. Why hasn't a commercial been made in iTunes using Bollywood songs? Well now, the dream has become reality because recently, itunes has made an ad with bollywood music as the background and topic.
Most of the itunes ads used music from artists in the West like Coldplay and the Ting Tings. Well, now the world has woken up to Bollywood thanks to A.R. Rahman's music in Slumdog Millionaire and people are demanding more music from India. Even Bollywood lovers would love to see some Bollywood flavor in the itunes ads.
itunes has already made the ad featuring dancers dressed up within the green screen, performing classical Bharat Natyam, Kathak, Indian folk, Hip Hop, and a modern Bollywood dance. It's kind of like watching the two leads in a Bollywood movie dancing and romancing to a song.
Yash Raj Films has given the rights of one of their songs to Apple so that they can use it in their video.
The song that is used in the video is no other than “Bachna Ae Haseeno” from the movie "Bachna Ae Haseeno" starring Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Minissha Lamba, and Bipasha Basu. The song and album is also available in the iTunes store.
Watch the video of this hyped up ad and give us your comments on it below.
