Music Video
Dil Se is famous for its visually stunning music videos. Because of this, "Chaiyya Chaiyya" characterizes this genre. The video itself was filmed on top of the Ooty train in the state of Tamil Nadu while actor Shah Rukh Khan dances with Malaika Arora and other dancers. Along with the thrill of dancing atop a moving train, the scenery around the train is equally stunning and beautiful. The cinematography of the film was handled by Santosh Sivan.
