The comment on the Indian music is off base - Indian music and DVDs are common in Afghanistan as the local entertainment industry is still recovering from the Taliban.
Bollywood film DVDs are sold in Kabul. Pictures and posters of Indian actresses are popular here. It isn't unusual to hear recorded Sitar music here in Kabul.
Afghan and Indian music was distributed secretly at great risk during the Taliban reign.
There is just not enough Afghan material yet and Afghans love music, even if they don't understand Urdu.
There is a scene in the movie where an instrument is seized by the Taliban before the wedding.
So the soundtrack was completely appropriate for me.
Hopefully we will see a feature film made inside Afghanistan someday. Its a beautiful and fascinating place and holds fascinating stories.
