Here’s a video that’s been making the rounds lately.  Remember that scene in Live Free or Die Hard where Bruce Willis kills the helicopter with a car?  This is like that, but… swarthier.  Not that you need any background information to enjoy it, but the clip comes from Magadheera, the most expensive Tollywood movie ever made (Tollywood being India’s Telegu-language film industry, not to be confused with the Hindi-language Bollywood).  It cost a reported $7.2 million to make, and won South India’s equivalent of a Best Picture Oscar. Make sure you watch it until the end for the kicker.  It takes the helicopter-getting-smashed-by-a-car thing one step further.  That’s right, Live Free or Die Hard, I think Magadheera just drank your mango lassi.

Though I have to admit, I was hoping there’d be more dancing.  (*looks sadly at unused leotard*)

This clip is kinda like the Indian teen wolf, only instead of a werewolf and a fat guy, it’s just one hairy fat guy.  The fat guy is apparently Chiranjeevi, the most famous Tollywood actor of all-time, Tollywood being the Telugu-language branch of the Indian film industry …long story.  Anyway, I’m not sure what’s better: the glowing, badly CGI’d basketball, or that the filmmakers don’t really know the rules of basketball.  Or that after Chiranjeevi wins the game with a full-court shot, he celebrates by outrunning a train.  It’s not what you would call… subtle.  Get it?  The fat Indian guy is an amazing athlete?  It’s kind of like when they give Kevin James a hot wife.  The film went on to be so successful that it eventually spawned an American version, Air Bud.
