We here at The Screengrab try to provide a comprehensive overview of the world of cinema, but far too often, we ignore one of the largest and most successful of all film meccas: Bollywood.
In an attempt to correct this oversight, I now present, for your entertainment and edification, the insidiously catchy video/production number, “Kalluri Vaanil” by India’s Michael Jackson, Prabhu Deva, from the 2000 release, Pennin Manathai Thottu.
Or, as it’s better known on the Intertubes, “Benny Lava” (or just “that crazy Indian video”), a time-wastingly hee-larious marriage of hyper-pixilated “happy feet” choreography and the heel-larious (and probably un-P.C.) phoentic subtitling of one “Buffalax,” whom Wikipedia informs me is a “mondegreen director.”
Okay, I know it sounds a little confusing, but trust me...if you’ve never seen the clip before, just click and enjoy. Your loony bun will be fine.
