An exercise in cultural understanding

Watch this Tamil song. It's supposed to be a 'hit' song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdHDAYxNNlM

I like it a lot. No, I haven't seen the movie. But the song is on damned repeat on a lot of channels and it's sort of stuck in my head.

Now, see how many of the actions there would get you arrested in your country?

Fashion sense? When was the last time you saw printed shirts?

Hair style? Remind you of Borg?

The video makes me smile because it has all the anachronistic trappings of a different time though its supposed to depict recent times.

Don't blame me if the song is hummable or execrable.

Whatever it is, apparently it is a promotional song video, rather than a song directly from a movie. Interests me to see that the actors don't "sing" at all - no lip-synching.

err...incorrect, it's a song from the movie and not a promo.
