Ravel: Introduction et Allegro = Om Shanti Om

1. how you come across to it:
Watched Om Shanti Om at mouse (and cats)'s place one Sunday. The
melody popped up in my brain for a few days afterwards.

2. why this piece?
At first I couldn't figure out where this melody came from. Later my inner ear heard some harp sound get mixed with some shots from the bollywood blockbuster - then I'm shocked to find out I got both Ravel and Om Shanti Om mixed in my brain, playing together! That's how I figured out they actually resemble each other.

3. (and...)
Mouse suggested Ravel's exotic use of his favourite Phrygian mode may explain that. What about this - m
aybe the film score is a reincarnation of Ravel? They are even in the same key/range!
