From the original list

Learn more: Jai Ho (song) on Wikipedia
Supplemental context
Jai Ho connects a composed film song with a cinematic dance finale and later circulation outside the film. The linked credits identify Rahman’s music and contributions by lyricists. A future archive should preserve those distinct creative roles instead of treating a widely repeated refrain as an anonymous chant.
Creator/community: A. R. Rahman; Gulzar, Tanvi Shah and performing collaborators Place/era: 2008 film-song context; India and international circulation
Context and limits
The image is a metaphor joining recording and movement, not a Slumdog Millionaire frame, actual train station, actor’s shoes or performance evidence. The song, film and later adaptations retain separate rights.
