I think that it shows a good deal of understanding about their customers. Believe it or not, the Indians will dig this. Their movies are full with dance interludes like that, and corny as they are, the Indians love them and will sing along. Even if they'd happen not to like the performance itself, they'll appreciate the nod that somebody shows that they try to understand them and their culture.

And soon, for occidental market, 'Dance with the missiles', the story of a man who started a new life with the long misunderstood missiles, who are no worse than any human.

Ich-

Perhaps, who knows, but this video was not released for the general population, it was intended for the military/government officials I assume. Whatever the reasons behind it, it is still marvelously cheesy to western tastes :)

Re: OT- Dinga Dinga DingaDingadee
 

Indians in the military/government are still Indians. Probably even more traditional ones than others from the general population. It's very cheesy, but not much more than your average other Bollywood movie. And believe me, they do know all those songs by heart, hundreds of them, and sing along when they rewatch the movies...

Re: OT- Dinga Dinga DingaDingadee
 

I'd prefer to hear an indians perspective on the video, but in any case, I did not share that link for any reason other than to allow people to get a chuckle at it.

Granted everyones opinion of it will differ, but from my pov (and a genreal western pov) anything involving Rick Astley is going to draw groans and laughs. Israelis pretending to be Indians (and failing rather convincingly) is just the icing on the cake.
