Jacko Goes Bollywood

Michael Jackson may be hiding out in Bahrain these days, but his music is getting a new life in India.

Jackson's 1983 14-minute video opus for his monster hit "Thriller" has gotten a Bollywood style makeover.

Bollywood and Tollywood (India's two most popular movie industries) are known for their elaborate and colorful musical dance numbers and make no exception in their interpretation of Jackson's dark, zombie love story.

In the Bollywood-like version entitled "Golimaar," the Indian Michael Jackson character sports a red pleather/vinyl ensemble similar to Jackson's trademark outfit.

With a reported cost of one million dollars, at that time, Michael's "Thriller" was the most expensive video ever made.

Somehow we think "Golimaar" won't be able to claim that same feat.

I was in India during the criminal trial of Michael Jackson. At the India Gate there was a monket trainer with a Moon Walking monkey (I have the video)

At the shopping malls there were playing his music all the time. I was amazed.

Are you serious, Tony? Thriller is considered the greatest video of all time, because of how influential it was. Have you seen musical videos pre-Thriller? Exactly. Talk about horrible videos. Michael was the first to put videos into film formats, i.e. give them a beginning, middle, and end and turn them into short films. The choreography was incredibly groundbreaking, the special effects makeup was innovative, the crazy outfit was trendsetting, it was a masterpiece that changed the way videos looked forever and how they were made. It was also the first music video to have a huge budget and to be made a production on such a large scale with a huge crew (again like a full length feature) not to mention the other talent involved like Vincent Price's voice over or John Landis' direction. Just because people hate on Michael Jackson today, what he achieved with that record and his talent was unparallel and there's no denying it. It's still the best selling record of all time over twenty years later, so most people don't think it sucked, and it won the most Grammy's ever taken home in one night not to mention breaking other records including most top ten hit singles on an album. Good luck finding that level of genius and originality in music and entertainment today.

I've heard it bruited about that Michael Jackson does not actually have sex with all those little boys. He just likes to have them sit on his face and defecate. They say his breath is enough to bring down an elephant in estrus. WOW!
