Old Bollywood cover of I Wanna Hold Your Hand video
In this youtube, a band identified as the "Indian Beatles" performs a totally rockin' version of "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" in Hindi. I'm pretty sure I have this song as an MP3 somewhere, but with the video added in, it's a hundred times more awesome.
Commenters on the YouTube page add more details. The song is "Tumse Hai Dil Ko" from the film "Jaanwar" -- and this: "The camera work is exceptional, the singing great, and the fact that this was just 1 year after the Beatles' appearance on the Ed Sullivan show makes this work of adaptive plagiarism all the more impressive."
