Aabra Ka Daabra, a few extra bits

[telophase]

The subtitles on Aabra Ka Daabra (check my previous two posts) are fairly Engrish-y, but I didn't bother to keep track of it, beyond noting that the subtitlers couldn't tell Pinky and Dinky apart, people's names kept changing spelling, and the potion of (life? health? immortality? vitality?) was translated as 'aphrodisiac'.

I did record one line, though. It was either Uncle Dilbagh or the faculty dork who uttered the immortal:

"I vow on the cooked tensile that I'll break the lantern of this bad woman!"

And then there was the menu. The flying ghost Casper Tu Tu featured on it, blowing sparks from his wand, and ... I don't think they *intended* this...







I used VirtualDub Mod to grab the "Om Shiv Om" dance number. It starts with the Cool Guy [TM] appearing and giving his sermon about love and God and giving the proper thanks to God and praising Shanu for being the awesomest kid evar, and then goes into the song and dance. No subtitles for the talk, because I have no idea how to capture them. It's also 73 MB for 6 minutes of video, which is ridonkulous, but I haven't worked out how to get it smaller yet. I'll re-upload if I get it smaller. DivX codec. The sound is also off by a wee bit so they look like bad lip-synchers.

There's a copy on magatsu.net here, but you may not be able to reach it: Dreamhost is having server problems tonight. I'm uploading another copy to my other webspace and will edit when that's up. ETA: Another copy of the 74-ish MB version is here on my other website. I'm attempting to make a smaller copy - we'll see what happens with that.

Oh. My. God. That is one of the most obscene things I've ever seen. It's the little jerk that really makes it.

I think he's suppsoed to be casting the sparks with his wand, but all the detail blurs out in the white and ... yikes! (it's slightly less jerky on the menu itself, but there's still a jerk there.)

You're getting icons from Bollywood that people will be asking you about for years to come. (As it were.)

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Hee. Bollywood is just so icon-able.

I have to buy this movie.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

It's six bucks (plus shipping) of SHEER CRACK.

oh, oh, telophase. this om shiv om thing is FANTASTIC. XD i think the poor sound-matching almost makes it better. and also: i kind of want to adopt the draco-character and his little scowl. XD

Isn't it, though? And so catchy! And being in 3D only makes it better!

I am all about Chingezi: he's the Head Boy and undisputed leader of the school, but Shanu is a self-righteous prig who'd annoy anyone with half a brain.
