DISCLAIMER: This is no enthusiastic rant or overly-analyzed review, but
the hopes and expectations of a Bollywood fanatic.
Complete with bow ties, girls,
horses and the intelligence quotient of an amoeba cell, K-POP sensation PSY’s uber-famous
“Gangnam Style” music video has made waves across the internet with his quirky,
unconventional take on Seoul’s rich and famous Gangnam area – bole toh South Korea’s Nariman Point. While
you question your own sanity having endured this eclectic wonder, the Mumbai sub
conscience effortlessly relates to the elevated state of being of this video.
That’s right. PSY was probably a Bollywood star in some previous birth. After
all, who can serenade girls in -274 Kelvin, rap face-down in an elevator and horse
around (pun intended), all while donned up in his Armani suit?
Picture this: Apna PSY bhai – crime fighter, Casanova, mamma’s
boy. As the time-bomb on the hopelessly-sobbing-good-for-nothing-pretty dame
ticks, PSY Bhai’s demeanor is cooler than moonlight on a tombstone. 10 seconds
become minutes, minutes become millennia as Bhai
comes galloping on his stallion in slow motion – chasing the 12.41 Virar Local in broad daylight. As he
effortlessly steers the horse atop the train, deftly eluding the 24,000 V shock
other miserable lesser mortals would have been subjected to, he gallops the
length of the train, picks up the girl in one arm, pushes the henchmen off the
roof from the other (the reins are in his mouth) and with a 2+2 = 4 attitude,
chucks the bomb in the air and…and…and…
And then they do the Gangnam
Style while the train safely pulls into Andheri Station. And then it’s all
uphill from there. PSY bhai - the face behind diamond jewelry, life insurance, adult
diapers, the whole nine yards! “Life
insurance lo – aur ghode bech ke so. Ghode se yaad aaya…” *op-op-op-op-oppa
Gangnam style!* Aah, the revenue he would generate from one film :’) We’d
never need scams, India would be an economic super power blablabla…
If only you get the (op-op-op-op)
opportunity. PSY Sigh.
