Cinema: Snoop Dogg does Bollywood

“I’m coming to take over Bollywood,” Snoop Dogg promised during the video shoot. “I’ve never been able to come over there and do shows for you all, but now I’m going to come and do shows,” he said in a clip that the video’s promoters put on YouTube. “This is just the beginning.” 

Hollywood and Bollywood have been flirting with new partnerships, from deals with Reliance Big Entertainment, an Indian production company, to Sylvester Stallone’s scheduled appearance in a Bollywood movie.

Western musicians have come to India for inspiration and new sounds for decades, but finding an enthusiastic audience among the country’s billion-plus population has not always been easy for modern musicians. Western music of a generation ago still tops India’s album charts: top albums sold in India included the Eric Clapton compilation “Complete Clapton” and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” for the month that ended June 15, according to Rolling Stone’s July India edition.

Do you think that the Indian world is ready for a dude who's been acquitted of murder and had a reality show on E!?  Can Snoop possibly include "izzle" at the end of things like Punjab, Delhi or naan?
