There’s a 
I went with my family to see it Sunday. Great movie, and intelligent too. I was hooked on the intro music and iTuned Chaiyya Chaiyya on getting home. Pity about that rap bit stuck in the middle. Am I to believe that more of this delicious music is available? I’ll follow your links and try to find it.
Basically, look up any bollywood soundtracks by A.R.Rahman
Hi there … I’m trying to find Chaiyya Chaiyya and am having difficulty — not on my version of iTunes (Canada) … is there an album I could buy online that includes the song, I wonder?
Well, I guess if you go to your local Indian store you’ll find the soundtrack for Dil Se or a compilation of A.R.Rahman’s greatest hits. Otherwise, Chaiyya Chaiyya is on the Bombay Dreams musical CD I have (London version, but I guess the Broadway one has it too).

This link has a clipping from the Original movie Dil Se which has the song.
The song as is just as good as the movie itself! Enjoy!
[…] For some strange reason my Chaiyya Chaiyya post has been extremely popular these last weeks. […]
Actually, my favourite song from the Dil Se soundtrack is ‘Satrangi Re’, which they mysteriously left off the soundtrack CD they are selling in Germany and Austria.
It’s not on the CD I have either. I’ll have to look it up!
Greetings from Costa Rica.
As soon as I heard Chaiyya Chaiyya I was hit by a Lightning.
I downloaded the mp3 and also de video clip from Shareaza.
Now I’m looking for any other music of bollywood.
