Bollywood special effects spectacular Endhiran is getting a lot of attention for its over-the-top action sequences but I found the musical numbers to be the most entertaining parts of the movie. With music by the fabulous A.R. Rahman and choreography by Prabhu Deva, Endhiran’s song and dance numbers are a high calorie feast for the eyes and ears. The musical sequences come out of nowhere and have little relationship to the plot of the movie, but in Bollywood it hardly matters. One of the more lavish numbers takes place in Machu Picchu which is totally baffling because there is no reference to Peru anywhere else in the film. For five minutes the movie suddenly shifts to Peru without explanation. Why? Because it looks awesome. No explanation needed. Goofy, surreal and silly, Endhiran is three hours of non-stop Bollywood insanity. Try to catch this one on the big screen in a theater with a good sound system.

Coming on like a mashup of Michael Jackson and Duran Duran videos with bits and pieces of Star Wars , The Terminator and Viva Las Vegas, the following clip will give you a taste of the pop culture explosion that is Endhiran. The song is “Arima Amira.”
