Bollywood has always been a good source of cringe-worthy amusement for me.
Not because I think Philippine cinema is any better. For one, Bollywood makes more money. Second, we definitely have our fair share of cheesy "bastardizations" of western pop culture. Especially when it comes to movies that have the somewhat inevitable musical production number in medias res.
While I have yet to show you proof of my own home country's shameful exploits, I still believe this video definitely takes the cake!
I was told that the video clip below is from a Telugu movie produced in India. Considering this was written and dubbed in a dialect that isn't Hindi, Urdu or Punjabi, I am not at all certain if I should be referring to it as a "Bollywood" film. It does, however, follow that distinctive formula.
Bollywood, Follywood! Prepare to be amused (or terrified or whatever):
"Goli Maar"
a scene from the movie "Donga"
Scary, huh? Here's something scarier: I caught myself chanting "goli maar..." and shaking my head to some imaginary beat as I was getting dinner ready. Sooooo not cute!

Woah, this certainly is some scary a** s*it. Although rather catchy, I must say. Perhaps it should be covered (replete with dancing and fangs) in a future cabaret? :-P
