Creation

I am creating this page along with some other bollywood songs. --Shell <e> 22:56, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

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)

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.

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)

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)

The correct Devanagari form is छैयाँ or perhaps छैय्याँ, so the Roman transliteration should be Chhaiyan Chhaiyan or Chhaiyyan Chhaiyyan. Amuk (talk) 15:42, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

A very good polish of this article can lead it well up higher in the ranks. I give the benefit of doubt to this article assuming that the article editors pay focus on the write-up. Mspraveen (talk) 13:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Video

The "music video" is actually the scenes of Dil Se during which it is played and danced, isn't it? And even if it was shot in Tamil Nadu, isn't Dil Se supposed to be located in Assam? If so, it should be mentioned in the article. --Error (talk) 14:34, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
