Indian music in American/English film soundtracks?

Question

Could anyone give me the titles of Indian (not native American, but Indian) music that has been used in the soundtracks of American or English films?

I am looking for a specific song that was used in a specific film (I think an American film), but I no longer remember the title of either. Any suggestions are appreciated, as they will give me a jumping-off point for my search.

Answer 1

There was some Sanskrit chanting renditioned in a western like tune at the end of the movie Matrix - Reloaded or may be at the end of the movie Matrix - Revolutions.



Besides, there are many movies based on desis. Blindly selecting a few will get you lucky enough. Not sure desi is a movie genre.. perhaps it should be made so.
