He Man comes to the rescue of a damsel in distress – Bollywood ishtyle. Bollywood created a musical rendition of the cheesy cartoon show complete with junior artistes in florescent skeleton clothes and a Skeletor idol with flashing eyes. He Man is played by a random white dude, yelling “He Man, He Man, I’m He Man”.
The movie is a generic 80s action movie. In case you were wondering, the music is by, who else, Bappi Lahiri. Which brings us to the next important question: what would a Yash Raj-Karan Johar …

Feet up, laying back, texting (or SMSing, if you so prefer) while cruising down the road on the bike, this is how we roll -desi ishtyle (Anantha via Twitter)

This one is right up our street. Desi uncle and aunty acting stupid, turning into vampires. Don’t quote me on this but me thinks they’re Gujarati, which makes this the first recorded instance of Gujarati vampires in history. [Remains of the Desi via SAJA]

p.s. In case I suddenly disappear, rest assured aunty vampire has extracted her revenge for calling her “aunty”.

Check out this desi kid who recites the capitals of most US States. Ok not all, he slips up once, on Kentucky, and gets some help from the guy holding the camera, presumably his father. Slightly amusing, when his father repeats a state, Alabama, and the kid innocently, and slightly miffed, corrects him. FYI, the conversation between the kid and his (presumed) father is in Tamil, if you could not tell from the accent. (tip Sai via email)

Desis are stereotyped not only in the West (think Temple of Doom and Apu in Simpsons) but in Chinese movies also. Granted this seems to be an older Chinese movie but the guy playing the “fakir” appears to be a Chinese dude with blackface, moustache and the customary turban. In the end those wily Chinese (dressed in blackface themselves) trick the fake desi. Nevertheless, some entertaining kung fu and really crappy acting here.

Bollywood star, Dharmendra, gets even by scoring one for Team Desi by beating fake Bruce Lee to a …

Speaking of the desi love for Democrats, here’s a desi from Atlanta, GA, on Oprah’s show describing why she likes Barack Obama (tip Karthik via email). She even sings a catchy jingle “O….B….AMA, O….B….AMA”. Like Oprah says, she needs to work on the rhymes and lyrics, entertaining nonetheless. It’s catchy this “O….B….AMA, O….B….AMA”.

p.s. From the comments section of the YouTube video, it appears that this episode is from 2005. “O….B….AMA, O….B….AMA”. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.

Before Enter the Dragon, Bruce Lee used to feature as a villain in B-grade Bollywood movies. Rumor has it, Bruce Lee got so tired of being abused (kutta, kamina, etc) getting his backside kicked in day in and day out by a pajama-clad Dharmendra, he decided to take a role in a Warner Brothers movie and the rest they say is Bruce Lee.
Here’s a look at Bruce Lee from his Bollywood days.

Über Desi from its inception has been in the business of discovering and promoting fresh and promising talent, like Sanjaya Malakar.
