Liquid explosive
Dancer and choreographer Prabhu Deva was once the
Telugu Michael Jackson, but Beatmaster P now
teaches leonine meatheads to writhe atop sanatorium mirrors (via Sepia Mutiny).

Hoarding
Some of those steps were done by Deva in his movies, and obviously, much better. But good stuff by Hrithik, this is the least effeminate of his dances.
Is PrabhuDeva wearing Hammer Pants?
awesome. After suffering through the heinous choreography of KANK this weekend, this was a fantastic way to start Monday :)
On the subject of Michael Jackson, last night I began to watch Govinda’s early 1990s movie Raja Babu, and, after recovering from the shock at seeing the young Karisma Kapoor’s eyebrows back then (like caterpillars!), and admitting that Shakti Kapoor as the slimy chamcha assistant is quite annoying (how do I list the ways, from the Hitler moustache to the high-pitched voice), the one scene that did actually have me rolling on the floor was a musical number where the VKC appears in a black pleather outfit (Ã la Michael’s Bad era threads) complete with silver studs AND, get this, a matching black pleather topi. Priceless.
He then proceeded to dance in an oil-and-water combo of Govinda eshtyle and a poor Michael Jackson imitation.
Hrithik…effeminate…grrrr…
Being pretty does NOT diminsh one’s masculinity!
As for Mr. Prabhu Deva, thanks for the introduction. I seriously think his skills would have taken MJ to task back in the day. Super impressive!
bring it T, I’ve got your back. Nobody trashes Hrithik! :)
more Prabhu Deva. Kind of a silly song, but I heart Apache Indian and Prabhu together :)

Well it can’t get better than this..dream pair ..Madhuri and Prabhu Deva :)
Telugu MJ?. He is from TN so why not Tamil MJ or maybe Indian MJ…meanwhile this video is awesome MJ dancing to a popular tamil dappanguthu song watch it..

too funny
Yeah, he is from Tamil film industry (Kamal Hasan, Rajanikanth, MGR are some of the big stars), not the Telugu film industry (Nagarjuna, Chiranjeevi, NTR are the big stars here).
Wikipedia says he is the Indian MJ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prabhu_Deva)
He’s born in Chennai but might be Telugu. MGR (went on the establish the AIADMK and become Tamil Nadu CM) and Rajnikant are both very popular Tamil film stars but not Tamils. MGR was Malayalee and Rajnikant is Marathi.
thanks Manish, this is one of my fav. telugu songs and wanted to see the video for a long time..
brown_fob thanks for the madhuri , prabhudeva song..great choreography there too from prabhudeva..
Jacob, MGR was Mallu but Rajnikanth isn’t Maharastrian, he’s Kannadiga. His real name’s Sivaji Rao. Are there Maharastrian Raos though? My cousin says there are.
