Music In The Mountains: Yeh Ishq Haaye

Babita and Randhir Kapoor appeared in yesterday's post. Today their daughter Kareena Kapoor dances to a peppy song from "Jab We Met" (2007). The opening sequence of this song was shot in Rohtang Pass, and soon the scene shifts to Naggar Castle; both close to Manali in Himachal Pradesh. Naggar Castle is a wood and stone structure built more than 500 years ago. It overlooks a valley offering breathtaking views from its courtyard. The courtyard was transformed into a Tibetan carnival site with huge props, local performers and lion dancers for shooting this song. And as we can see, all this has given a nice local flavour to the song and the dance.

The film was a super hit giving a huge boost to the careers of leading couple Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor, and winning many awards in several categories.

Sreeramchandra (also mentioned as Sreerama Chandra or Sreerama Chandra Mynampati elsewhere) and Shilpa Rao are showing up for the first time in this space.
