Batshit Crazy 90's Hindi Movie Clip


Since the dawn of man, we contend that no era of film has been a showcase for talent, entertainment, drama, comedy and most importantly Mamta Kulkarni. Don't get us wrong, the movies today are great and all, but they're just missing a certain j'na sequa, which I believe is French for "low budget rain song". In an attempt to reconnect with that glorious era, we offer you a weekly trip down memory lane. Oh, we also needed some content.

This week's clip comes to us from the superhit 1994 movie "Main Khiladi Tu Anari", which I just found out courtesy of Wiki, is a remake of a 1991 Hollywood movie called "The Hard Way". I don't know what's more earth-shattering. Finding out that 14 years worth of fond memories were based on a stolen script, or that "The Hard Way" is not an adult film. Anyway, here's the clip. It's the title song from the film, which translated into English means "I'm the hero, you the dimwit".



There are a couple of reasons why I chose this clip. First I think the two male leads could serve as some sort of ode to our fallen hero Fahad (seriously, he's been gone for 6 days, the odds of him not having dysentery at this point are slim to Keira Knightly). The song itself along with the dancing is just a fantastic classic 90's hindi movie mess. The backup dancers and extras aren't attractive, half the backup dancers are dressed up like the chubby girl from that Blind Melon song, and the wind machine is in full effect. So much to love. And finally for the move that Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan pull off around the 1:35 mark. For the record, that move had not been successfully replicated on film since 1994 until the rambunctious stars of Supermales IV: The Quest for Dong completed it last year. Wow, two adult movie references in one post. I've had this place to myself for 6 days and I'm already working blue. This is should be fun.
