  6. Balalaika..

    Balalaika is a Russian stringed musical instrument. The MiG-21 is nicknamed Balalaika because of the shape of its wings. The name of the movies is Balalaika. The Rajini movie is 'Sivaji' and the song title is Balleilaka which derives its name from Balalaika.

  9. Balalaika / Balalayka it is.

    The two movies are named so, MIG 21 is nicknamed Balalaika and the Rajnikanth song is one of the same name from the recent 'Sivaji'.
