Dard-e-disco
Apr. 2nd, 2008 10:43 pmYoutube hasn't got it. My iBook won't play it. Have the producers put some special jinx or digital layering into the DVD of Om Shanti Om so that it can't be uploaded?
But, hah, judicious clicking and looking did get me a not-great-quality but nevertheless-great clip of the fabulous over-the-top disco number with Shah Rukh Khan topless and flexing his six-pack (which is, as more judicious googling revealed, totally real, omg).
Title of song: Dard-e-disco
Meaning of title: Pain in the disco.
Yes, it's about pain and love angst in the disco. With semi-nude babes. And SRK's hard nipples, dripping with water. And a Village-People-worthy miner's outfit. And cheesy eye-scissoring. And oiled man-torso. And man licking his thumb and running it down the length of his naked torso (!!). And a reversal of usual item songs (I learned this term last night!) where it's a semi-nude girl doing the dancing and the boob-wiggling, but here it's hot dude Khan and sexysexy.

There's also an interesting reversal of the familiar-to-us tropes of Orientalism here. Instead of a white guy surrounded by exotic black and brown babes, we get a brown guy surrounded by exotic white and blonde babes. Occidentalism, nipple-Khan and teh groovy disco beat with Persian undertones: What more, I ask you? What more?
Enjoy! Guten Appetit!

Date: 2008-04-03 10:22 pm (UTC)The Making of... DVD claims that the abs are real! That SRK worked out for 3 months to get his body in a shape fit to be presented to the world! Omg, I am so pervy; if this were to do with a woman, I'd be all feminist about it. Suddenly, I'm thinking: yes, enslave yourself to the fitness regime! Body is all! Rip off your shirt and ripple those pecs! Have your nipple touched up and your torso made up! Brain? Nice eyes? Who cares?
Now, we just need to see the bottom half of his body as well...
And what is it with this DVD? Has the studio done something to it to make it non-uploadable? Every other Bollywood film is all over youtube!

Date: 2008-04-05 03:30 am (UTC)if this were to do with a woman, I'd be all feminist about it. I know! But it's so annoying that most of the time the women are told that they HAVE to. Men have a easier time with it I think. For instance (very OT) in porns girls have to look top notch while the guys can look like random man across the street. About time something happens for us...
YAY FOR BOTTOM HALF. Luv the icon btw!
I was very much in shock not to find it on YouTube. They must be using state of the art anti piracy or something.
