Okay, okay, so any music video that starts out with someone wearing the outfit above ordering a tumbler of whiskey and a masala dosa and including a rap about breakfast foods is going to be AWESOME in my book- I know I’m bias (See my South Indian breakfast post if you need a refresher on the food) Plus, it’s a spoof on Rajnikanth movies, who’s tagline is ‘mind it’ and is always doing show-offy things like catching bullets in this teeth or defying the laws of physics in other ways, like spinning knives midair for indefinite amounts of time- youtube the guy if you want to see- he is HUGE over here!
Chorus:
Idly, Appam, Sambar Khao
Quick Gun Murugun ke gun gao
He's a rebel without a cow
Mind it, mind it, mind it… IDLY!
Here’s the basic premise- QGM is a Tamil cowboy who's mission in life is to protect cows from non-veg restaurant owners. Seriously. On the other side, there’s Rice Plate Reddy (the dude singing in the music video), a nonveg restaurant owner who is hellbent on creating the perfect nonveg dosa. While protecting a village in Tamil Nadu from RPR, QGM is killed.
25 years later after (present time) he is able to reincarnate himself thanks to his lifetime devotion to vegetarianism. He then searches for RPR, who is trying to start up a Dosa franchise called McDosa (love it) in Mumbai. The evil RPR has been kidnapping aunties across the country to find the perfect Dosa recipe that he can then fill with meat. This leads to a showdown between QG and RP into an epic battle of veg vs. non-veg as well as Quick Gun vs. the big city- I know Justin would love how it has some Crocodile Dundee type moments in it as Quick Gun has to deal with Mumbai/Bombay!
Don’t worry, I’m buying the (bootleg) DVD and going to have several screenings in the States. Enjoy the music video and MIND IT! Without further ado, here is the video for “Mind It (Tamil Bhangra)”…
