Watch: 'Disco Dancer' At Uzbekistan Party Ahead Of Key Regional Summit

Bollywood movies and songs are very popular in Uzbekistan.

Samarkand:

Disco lights and tracks from actor-politician Mithun Chakraborty's hit movie 'Disco Dancer' were the highlights at a party ahead of a key regional summit in Uzbekistan's Samarkand.

A band was seen singing 'I Am A Disco Dancer' from the 1982 movie at a dinner hosted for the international media last night and several attendees were seen grooving to the peppy dance number.

'Disco Dancer' was a smash hit, mainly due to its blockbuster soundtrack. After the release of the movie, Mithun Chakraborty not only became the heartthrob of the country but also attained a cult figure status in Uzbekistan.

Bollywood movies and songs are very popular in Uzbekistan.

Earlier in July, a band in Uzbekistan sang a popular Bollywood song at the end of a two-day foreign ministerial conclave in Tashkent. The video, shared by Foreign Minister S Jaishankar, had the band singing the title track 'Bol Radha Bol' from the well-known 1992 Bollywood film 'Sangam'.

During his visit to the country in 2012, PM Modi noted, "Indian movies, language & music are very popular in Uzbekistan. In 2012, Uzbek radio completed 50 years of Hindi broadcasting".

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today attended the annual summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation along with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping and leaders of the other member states of the influential grouping.

The summit is also being attended by Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and leaders of several central Asian countries.

File image of Xavi Hernandez © AFP Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez will serve a two-match suspension after being sent off in his team's La Liga season opener against Getafe, it was announced Wednesday. Xavi was punished for his touchline behaviour during Sunday's 0-0 draw at Getafe, in which Barcelona winger Raphinha also received a red card in the first half for elbowing an opponent. Former Barcelona midfielder Xavi was dismissed with 20 minutes to play after leaving his technical area to remonstrate with the fourth official over a refereeing decision. Referee Cesar Soto Grado said in his report that he had already warned Xavi, who was critical of the officiating in his post-match press conference. Xavi and Raphinha will both miss Sunday's game against Cadiz and the trip to Villarreal on August 27.
