"Here's one of the most cheesiest, tackiest, and overall entertaining songs ever: the opening scene from probably the first Indo-U.S. co-production, "Shalimar" (1978). Aruna Irani, in a special appearance, plays the instructor leading her students in doing the cha-cha-cha, at a studio which is actually a cover for the gambling den. Interesting steal of KC and the Sunshine Band's hit "That's the Way (I Like It)" at the 1:02 mark. I personally enjoy the music from 4:15 till the end. Sung by Usha Uthup. Music by the late, great R.D. Burman."Thanks symaster

Hulchul, The Angel Of Peace
The Angel Of Peace
"The Angel Of Peace
Performers: Helen, O.P.Ralhan, Zeenat Aman
Singer: None
Movie: Hulchul, 1971
Stars: Starring: O.P.Ralhan, Prem Chopra, Madan Puri, Helen, Sonia Sahni, Zeenat Aman
This is a songless anti-war cabaret number starring Helen as the Angel Of Peace, and many different set pieces representing the countries of the world. Zeenat Aman is seen briefly in the audience dressed in green in one of her first films (the same year as, but prior to, Hari Rama Hari Krishna). This 8 minute performance must have set some kind of a record for the number of costume changes."Thanks tommydan1

As far as I know there's no film version of the entire song (although, of course, it exists on CD), and this part of the film is more about meeting people and rehearsing the song than the actual song itself. There's more of the real thing in the Helen documentary, Helen, Queen Of The Nautch Girls. Here's a link to my Part 3 which contains more of the song:
