    Yes, it's great! If you go check out his blog, there's a lot of interesting how-we-did-it information, including a thread where many of the participating dancers from round the world check in. I like the backstory to the music. It's a Rabindranath Tagore poem (in bengali, my husband's language) and they basically found a 16 year old bangladeshi-american kid in minnesota or somewhere to do it. The producers had their doubts, but she totally nailed it.

    I also had to add that I don't think any of it seemed silly at all. I was moved by it from the very beginning. I also was amazed that this guy filmed one of his dances in one of the more remote places from my native country. Seeing the little kids run around him so joyfully was quite powerful indeed.

    Cool stuff.

    His increasing popularity reminds me of Forest Gump when he starts jogging... :)

    Love it. the music is strangely haunting and peaceful, and the dancing is leaves a contagious feeling of joy. It's an interesting combination that works very well.
