Rohit Shetty and every other director from Bollywood who have managed to stick to the cliché of south Indian stereotype. Like Honey Singh encourages us, I encourage the makers of this moronic song to go and “ Wikipedia Padh Lo.” And to add insult to injury, they even spelled Chennai wrong in Tamil. And sooooooo “well-researched” the film is, that at the audio launch, the makers had the gall to refer to Chennai as a “junction”.

Get this right – We are CHEnnai and not Chinnai. It is sacred and respected and Honey Singh, along with SRK, Deepika and that abomination of a director by name Rohit Shetty (who claims to be a south Indian ironically) have clearly stepped into some dangerous territory. I am not really a Rajinikanth fan but I do understand the kind of mass hysteria that the man commands. Anna ke jaise chashma lagake… he croons and the visuals have a failed attempt of SRK attempting what is a sacred Rajini-move. Thank you Honey Singh, but I’d rather “miss that chance” and the lungi dance for obvious reasons. I do not even want to get to the lyrics of the song, which is seriously in a state of critical conditionum (think Aiyaayayaaa from hey, wait…. Yes, that’s right – that is how we wear our lungis. To make up, everyone in the background, also dressed in suits, wear lungis over them.

Also, you will notice the absence of lungis being sported by the protagonists (gag) in a song that is named lungi dance. So, here is a suggestion – do not watch it, for you would have to put up with Shah Rukh dressed in a suit, Deepika in a chiffon sari and a buffont that went out of style ever since Asha Parekh stopped acting. If this song is supposed to be a tribute to Thalaivar, then I nominate Santosh Pandit to pay a tribute to Amitabh Bachchan – a Holi song on the lines of Balam Pichkaari, sans any kind of colours, or even better an item number along the lines of Sheila Ki Jawaani, without Katrina.įor those of you who haven’t watched this song, it is an open insult to everything that any self-respecting Rajini fan’s beliefs.

Only this time, it is Deepika’s accent that is more annoying. However, Lungi Dance will bring all that agony back. We even forgave him for his pathetic efforts at looking Tamizh and even worse trying to sound like a Tamizhan. I do not wish this kind of punishment on the worst of my enemies.įine, we forgave Shah Rukh Khan last time, when he thought that the average south Indian, fiercely protective of his curd rice, preferred a touching of jam over his vadumanga. I feel ridiculous even typing it, so imagine the levels of repugnance that someone who has actually wasted 3 minutes and 32 seconds of their time will experience. However, what will really have you – and by you, I mean any self respecting south Indian, crinkle up their face in disgust is this brand new song from Chennai Express named Lungi Dance. So moronic, that one had to read the words Honey and Singh together with a straight face, without crinkling up in disgust. So moronic, it naturally had to be a Twitter trend. It was just another day at work and while slave driving my thinning team to meet our deadline I stumbled upon a moronic masterpiece. Today, the word moronic got an all new definition.
