Continuum Fingerboard is the connect.
The Continuum was used by John Williams for his score to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Also A.R. Rahman used the Continuum in the song "Rehna Tu" in Delhi 6 and the new version of Mile Sur Mera Tumhara

Debanjan

Connection is Continuum ,or The Continuum Fingerboard or Haken Continuum, which is a music performance controller and has been used in
A - Indiana Jones & crystal skull or whatever
B - Delhi 6
C - Phir Miley sur mera tumhara

Since 2 out of 3 is Mr Dileep Kumar, no doubt he deserves 2 grammy awards !! JAI HO !!!

Mrinalini

The connect is the Continuum Fingerboard, a music 'instrument' (strictly speaking, it is a music controller). Its first full-scale use in an OST by a composer was in 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' (Pic A). It was also used by AR "Jai Ho" Rehman, extensively in a song in 'Delhi 6' (Pic B) and in the reloaded version of the iconic "Mile Sur Mera Tumhara" (Pic 3 - scene from video featuring Big B against the backdrop of the Taj Hotel, Mumbai).

Nishant

the connection is AR RAHMAN who features in the new version of mile sur mera tumhara (3rd pic) , is the music director of delhi 6 and according to tabloids Steven Spielberg (director of indiana jones and crystal skull ) has expressed wish to work with him.

Kaushik Saha

the musical instrument Continuum

The Continuum was used by John Williams for his score to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.A.R. Rahman used the Continuum in the song "Rehna Tu" in the 2009 movie Delhi 6 and the new version of Mile Sur Mera Tumhara

HeeHaw

The continuum fingerboard:

It was used for the first time in a full scale movie in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull
AR Rahman used it in the song Rehna Tu of Delhi - 6
Rahman again can be seen playing the instrument in the video of Phir Mile Sur (which by the way totally pales in comparison to the original one)
