Internet: Bollywood’s New Source of ‘INSPIRATION’
If a deluge of shayari’s floating around the Internet as email forwards featuring as dialogs in Fanaa wasn’t enough, then to all the fans of ‘Return of Khiladi’ from OM SHANTI OM: Bollywood has done it again. Hollywood is passe; Internet is the industry’s new source of ‘inspiration’. Just check out this video, featured in CollegeHumor.com in 2004. I don’t know which film is it originally from. Looks like some European film. My respect for Farah Khan has now increased manifolds. Have to appreciate the lady director’s resourcefulness.
For the uninitiated, here is ‘our version’ of the video from OM SHANTI OM (Listen, I am protected by the Digital Millenium Copyright Act bullshit.. I did not upload this video on Youtube.. so don’t try to sue me).
Notice how even most of the camera angles are left ‘unchanged’…
Well done Farah.
