New Exercise Trend: Masala Bhangra
Last week we talked about the new workouts you wanted to try and today we're adding another to the list: Masala Bhangra. For those of you not familiar with Masala Bhangra, it's similar to the energetic dance numbers seen in Bollywood cinema and the worldwide hit Slumdog Millionaire.
Created by expat Sarina Jain, the hour-long cardio workout incorporates sliding steps, squats, jumps, turns, and lots of hand and wrist movement set against upbeat modern Bhangra music — a percussion-based genre that sounds like a mash-up of hip-hop and classical Indian music.
Bollywood Bound: 15 Celebrities Who've Worn Indian Looks
Hollywood and Bollywood have had a longstanding, if sometimes fraught, love affair, and there's a rich history of inspiration and exchange between the two film production powerhouses. So it makes sense that celebrities on this side of the Pacific would want to emulate the lavish looks from Subcontinental cinema, as well as Indian culture, more widely. They sometimes don't get it right, though (got a wedding?
Have You Ever Watched a Horror Film Alone?
I was just asking you guys if you go to the movies alone, and here we have some news about that very thing. Only this news is way more bizarre than just taking in a Saturday matinee by oneself. A 30-year-old man in India, Pavin Ponanna, bought all the seats to a showing of the horror film Phoonk, just so he could watch the movie alone.
Love It or Hate It? CB2 Bollywood Pillow
On one hand, the CB2 Bollywood Pillow ($19.95) kind of cracks me up, and I like its monochromatic look. On the other hand, unless you happen to be a bona-fide film buff, I think it's kind of a strange thing to own, let alone display on your couch. What do you think?
Flashback: '80s Bollywood Music Vid
If we think that the Bollywood music vids of today look and sound like madness run amok, then imagine what they delivered back in the '80s. Hmm. .
May He Poop on My Knee?
I love that Ben, the guy who made up the "translation" for this Bollywood video, feels compelled to tell us, "This is not a real translation. It's just what I think it sounds like." Well, what do you know!Bollywood Music Lyrics: Misheard and Improved!
By improved, I mean these lyrics make absolutely no sense, but their incoherence is our hilarity. Case in point: "Come see me eat nipples, eat nipples, eat nipples." Actually, color me unsurprised if Heidi Klum drops this line in her next commercial spot for Victoria's Secret.
Hey Everybody, It's the Condom Song!
This just in from the Bollywood PSA vault: the 6-minute long condom song. It's got animation, sing-a-long lyrics, wacky mascots, and even a dancing chorus, but I'm not sure if a guy dressed as a condom and issuing threats is gonna do the trick...
Misheard Bollywood Music Lyrics
We featured a "loose translation" of this popular Bollywood song a while back, but the following is the misheard lyrics version. If we believe everything our ears tell us, then the Bollywood bandwagon seems like a kinky good time! The unfashionable blue jeans and multi-colored t-shirts aren't workin' for me, though...
Bollywood Idol, Anyone?
Mr. Lover-Lover here is auditioning for "Pop Stars: The Rivals," a UK show with mission to create two competing pop groups. Although he's entertaining, something tells me our guy ain't gonna make the cut.
