Amitabh Bachchan's Agneepath Features Jarre's Music

Now, I’m a huge Jean Michel Jarre fan and have followed his career quite closely. However, I was today days old to discover that his music was used in the Bollywood film Agneepath! The Amitabh Bachchan film was released in 1990 and was a bit of a box office flop at the time but has since gained cult status and an ardent fanbase who quote dialogue from the Don himself. The film itself is a Bollywood Scarface or The Godfather but cheesier.

However, as a Jarre fan first and foremost, the use of his tracks Ethnicolour and Rendezvous 1 and 2 tracks to score the film tickled me greatly. The film is quite cheesy and the songs are forgettable but the Jarre piece, which is used as the main motif is affecting and effective.
