Thuppakki

Certainly this song from the hit film THUPPAKKI stands a chance at becoming the next "Gangnam Style" craze!

Hey, at least there seems to be a general tone of approval of athleticism for women – and I'm not sure how common that may be across India. I did find myself wishing that the object of his affections would bounce that rugby ball off his face.

As a former high school headbanger (yeah, one of those kids with the long hair and black t-shirt with the heavy metal band logo on the front) we looked on boy "band" (as if they really played instruments or wrote their songs) acts as, in the current vernacular, "totally gay". This falls into that category.

Either that, or this is a direct Indian ripoff of "West Side Story". Looks like the Jets vs Sharks dance-off.

Gotta say KDP's assessment is spot on.

Yeah...no. This most cirtainly does NOT stand a chance of becoming the next "Gangnam Style" craze. Aside from the dance choreography being no where near as clever and fun as that found in "Gangnam Style", the song itself is completely devoid of the "je ne sais quoi" that made people get excited about Psy's hit.

The guy's a jerk. If Agent 99 cares to come over, I'll let her cry on my shoulder 😜
