In the UK, Orange and T-mobile have merged their mobile phone networks to give better coverage. The website describing the changes is https://kareena.orange.co.uk/signal, which felt like a completely gratuitous Bollywood reference until I remembered that Geet in JWM inspires a mobile phone product. So I like to think that is the reason behind the website name, though I'm probably completely wrong.

The trailer for Sacha Baron Choen's new film The Dictator, has a Bollywood song in it. It sounds very familiar to me, but I cannot place it.  Undecided Can someone help?

The song is Mundian To Bach Ke by Panjabi MC (Beware of the Boys - Jay Z remix). I have the album with this song on, but personally prefer the original version to the one used in that trailer.

On the Wii, Just Dance 3 has didi tera devar dewaana from HANK.  Needless to say, my sons won against their cousins every time. And it's titled, kurio ko uddah le jana. Cheesy

Ha ha I just ordered this game from amazon because they had this song in it! I love that, and here's hoping for more BW songs in the future.

On my facebook page, on the right side with the sponsored ads, one of the ads is the dental plan offered by my university and it has a picture of Bipasha Basu (or maybe someone that looks exactly like her).

This isn't exactly Bollywood in the most unexpected places, it's more like India in the most unexpected places, I think. But there's a street named after Ganesh in the Los Angeles suburbs Cheesy I think I've posted about this before. Here is a pic of the sign Smiley

Oh shucks I totally re-sized in my photo account but that pic is coming out huge! Undecided

Edited...trying this one more time:



Haha shucks again, now it's so small you can barely read it, oh well Tongue (It reads "Ganesha Avenue" in white letters on blue.)

^ That's interesting, I wonder if they asked permission to use her name.

I'm a self absorbed idiot (haha) so I'm always looking for things with my name on it...I did once come across a lovely tiny set of "Gowri Puja" bindis which I promptly bought and then I asked if I could have the box too hehe

So this is more like Bollwhat in the most unexpected places rather than Bollywood in most unexpected places, but in Los Angeles Little India there's a street with the same name as poster Corbie. I've posted about this once before Cheesy Except they spell it with a "y" instead of "ie" at the end Smiley

So I took a pic of the sign from my car:



Edited: How could I forget?! Leafness, there's also a vegan cafe named "Leaf" in Los Angeles! Cheesy I've never been there but apparently they have lots of delicious vegan dishes:



Names of Bollywhat folks are all over my hometown LOL [CoolGrin]

My friend from Kyrgyzstan asked me 'do you know a song that goes 'Jimmy Jimmy...aaja aaja!' over and over again? My parents used to be obsessed with it but it drove me nuts!'

I guess that's not completely unexpected because ani_naja says that Disco Dancer was also huge in Armenia but Russia was completely a surprise to me! Cheesy
