Another non-sarcastic Post



This post revolves around this link. The Board of Directors (BOD) have long maintained that there is some correlation between a nation's cinema, and it's level of development, coolness and how it is perceived by the rest of the world.
Non-violence may have been acceptable against the British, but I think stoning and anarchist revolution would be the key to stopping the creative artists who come up with stuff like this.
I present to you now, a selection of the lyrics of the song (with subtitles) of the above video.

La - lalalalala. (La - lalalalala)
Tu meraaaa (You are myyyyy) Superman. (Superman.)
Tu meriiii (You are myyyyy)
Lady. (Lady)
Ho gaya hai apna (This of ours has happened)
Pyaar already. (Love already.)

There are more gems but I have no food left in my stomach to regurgitate.
Also let me draw your attention to certain points in the video.
First of all, why is she wearing a spiderman costume?
00:22 - Wtf? Now spiderman can fly to? If Stan Lee were dead he'd be turnin in his grave right now.
00:44 - Wtf? Upside down flying. Mooning the metropolis.
01:01 and 01:19 - does this form of dancing really captivate Indians? If not, and demand is low, why is the supply so high?
01:10 - Assuming super human strength, you'd hope that the elbow dashing would produce more devastating effects. Maybe a severed limb or two.

With reference to the last post, Indian cinema keeps throwing out these horrible nuggets from time to time. Like this Arjun Rampal movie I saw a clip of recently. He's talking to this other dude and they try and talk ghetto.
"Hey Brother from another mother."
Arjun Rampal :"First of all, I'm not your brother. So don't go on my mother."
I assume this is a rough translation of "Mere ma pe math ja." But the end result is fail. Indian Cinema is replete with such instances. Then of course, is the Hindi remake of the cult classic Memento, Ghajini. Uber fail.

Forget voting, fellow Indians. That is not as important as standing up for what is our right. Refuse to be treated as second class creative citizens any longer.

Haha - yeah saw that - you want something even better? Search Turkish Superman on youtube ftw. Which shows that India is not alone. At least we have Turkey for company.

Hey, that required complex CGI. Don't you dare insult technological advances!

Haha! Complex CGI? For a bunch of guys dressed up as condoms?
And best part is, the director proudly displays his name at the end - as if taking pride in his creation.
