Oh my gosh it is awful. "Talla taya taya...." It's like nails on a chalk board. So loud too.
shareTotally disagree. I love this song, and the hip hop mix gives it a neat twist. I feel like jumping up and dancing whenever I hear it.
sharei agree. had i not known was this movie was about before and hearing that music, i would've assumed it was a movie about africa. really misplaced here, don't know why it was included
shareI understand why people thought this song was completely inappropriate for the story and setting and can't argue that it fits...yet I loved it. I have no logical explanation for this and can't even come up with my own twisted rationale. I just had some kind of visceral reaction to it and thought it was great.
In fact, I thought the whole film score was excellent. Very dramatic and reminded me at times of a James Bond score, but not overwhelming the action and dialog. Look for these two very effective moments in particular:
1. Music playing in background when Christopher Plummer visits the command post, then stops suddenly when he offers them a jet -- dramatic pause -- then music and dialog resume.
2. When Clive Owen sits with the kid and has pizza, the recurring theme plays quietly in a childish, lullaby-like arrangement.
What great use of music! I know some of you posters agree with me. Anyone else?
Loved the music. As unique as the film.
shareAfrica?? Only a few thousand miles off. ๐ผ
sharePersonally I think it went well with the movie and it sites the diverse world of NYC. Same with the blatant racism in some parts. There is also talk about corruption in the justice system as well as good cops and bad cops. What more could you ask for in a solid Spike Lee flick?! =)
shareThe main (but not the only) reason I've not been in a movie theatre for three decades. How messed up does a mind have to be to conceive of such drek?
shareLet me see if I understand your comment. The intro and ending music of Inside Man is "the main (but not the only) reason [you've] not been in a movie theatre for three decades."
Considering that Inside Man was released nine years ago, how does the music in this film "mainly" account for your movie theater aversion in the prior 21 years?
Maybe you have a time machine, saw Inside Man, went back two decades and then chose to stay away from the movies.
That would explain your comment.
Song is good, but it sounded totally out of place in the intro and end of this movie...it's like someone liked this song too much and just slapped it on to the film track....it comes from an Indian movie and in that it is shot on top of a traveling passenger train where the setting and music makes much sense.

wat are you lookin' at...๎
It may be a cultural thing. I liked the song myself, and downloaded it. That song was originally from another movie. A.R. Rahman composed it. He went onto win two Academy Awards for Slumdog Millionaire, for the music score and for the track "Jai Ho." He later did the score and co-wrote "If I Rise" for 127 Hours.

It's a pretty cool song for a pretty unique movie. What did you expect? Freakin' Celine Dion?
