If ‘Sawaan ka mahina’ with a slight Sinhala rap addition is what greeted you at the ground, the songs that followed were straight out of the Bollywood gold collection. From ‘pyar deewana hota hai’ to the evergreen ‘mein zindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya’ and then the tub-thumping ‘mere sapno ki rani kab aayegi tu’. No, we were not at some Hindi golden oldies tribute concert. But instead at the Galle cricket ground, where India and Sri Lanka were in the midst of their first Test. But you couldn’t be blamed if you thought otherwise. For, throughout the first session the only songs ringing out from the PA system were the Bollywood classics.
