Indian? Persian? Bollywood? Afghan?

In noting the death of a dear friend, Shahab, I recalled how apparently his mother loved going to Indian movies in Tehran during the days before the Shah was kicked out (which was a good thing) and Khomeini descended down from the plane (worst thing!).  I have also blogged about the influence of Persian music and culture in India and in Hindi movies.  And, about Afghanistan's influence as well.  Time to bring all those together :)
First, this song/dance from a Hindi movie:

And now compare that song with this Persian one:

Instead of enjoying such blissful entertainment, we would rather go to war and kill each other? And, why would the mullahs in Iran and Afghanistan hate them? What is wrong with people? or, in simpler terms, WTF!
