More Bollywood Madness – He-Man!
Once again, the people at Topless Robot brought a little bit of Bollywood craziness to my attention. (Last time it was Dancing Superman and female Spiderman)
Take a watch, if you dare:
This is clearly meant to be a live dancing Indian version of the glorious 80’s cartoon. The giant statue is clearly Skeletor. There’s a little creepy kid dancing around dressed like Orko. And, lest there be any doubt, the guy supposed to be He-Man periodically yells, “He-Man!”
This video is certainly better than the Superman and Spiderman one, because this at least puts on the pretense that this He-Man thing is part of a nightclub act. But that doesn’t make it too much better because now we have to suspend our disbelief to a point where it is believable that any night club, anywhere in the world, would have a dancing He-Man production as the headliner.
I do have one question though: is the guy playing He-Man Indian or not? He looks kind of pale. Maybe they should have gotten him a spray tan…

That was awesome. Bollywood never stops entertaining me. My friends and I have a game where at a hookah lounge with Bollywood playing, you have to watch it and whoever smiles first loses. It’s harder than you would imagine unless you’re in a bad mood =P
Oh, this is friggin’ hilarious! Who is the guy smoking and driving? Am I just really slow, or was there supposed to be some plot re: him?
Nathan, that sounds like a wild (and tough game). Where are there hookah lounges that show Bollywood movies??
Amy, I haven’t seen this movie, but I am guessing that the actual He-Man song and dance has nothing to do with the plot of the rest of the movie. Based on my overall knowledge of Bollywood lore, I would say that the smoking guy is th movie’s villain and he owns the nightclub, and that the hero(s) is using the performance to infiltrate his lair and get close to him. Seriously, that kind of thing happened all the time in 80’s B-Wood movies
