In a Bollywood style

As promised more regular bite size posts. Some videos inspired by Bollywood iconography, Not a massive topic but there have been some really nice promos done recently drawing this inspiration most notable the first video.

Indie-folk singer Darvendra Banhart has done this fun video with Natalie Portman, low budget but lavish costume and set design bringing to life a Hindu parable in proper Bollywood style. Directed by Skinny (who I am struggling to find anything about but hope to see more of)

Darvendra Banhart, Carmensita. In a word "Lavish"


Take the time to read the slightly bonkers subtitles.


Colonel Blimp add a bit of Bolly style, fused with the current Neu-Rave 80's revival for M.I.A Trans-global Music.


Despite the Cuban flavour of this track by the Arctic monkeys and Rythyms Del Mundo project the video is simply re-edited footage from Hindi film, Gumnaam (I only know that from one of the comments, sadly I can't claim an encyclopedic knowledge of classic Hindi cinema).


This is from a few years ago and pretty crappy, Before they were reinvigorated themselves with "hey baby". No Doubt's terrible cover of a terrible song "Oi to the World" only thing worth while is the Indian setting for a chase and fight, all very random for what is a essentially a Christmas record (I think its supposed to be anti-establishment or some such).
