Unforgettable IPL Tunes!

When I first found out Farah Khan is a choreographer, I was like…Are you kidding me?! You mean she can dance?!  Now, after seeing her flash a step or two in those ridiculously hilarious ads of IPL, I must admit I had to eat the humble pie. Each of those ads was well-synchronized and totally rib-tickling. If not for the cricket frenzy, the on-going IPL should attract fans for its spicy, heavily punch-laden ads.  

My favourite of course is the one where Farah Khan barges in on a kitty party. The ladies who look like they are used to dunking biscuits by threes-n-fours into their gossipy mouths and drinking coffee by the pots, are caught completely unawares. And when they do the jig, that ridiculously comical, “Dil Jumping Japang Jampak Jampak..Dhamping Dhapang Dhampak Dhampak Gile Gile A.”…. Especially the crunching of knuckles on the sides of their heads…it’s a must-watch. These ladies, who look like sumo-wrestlers of sorts, rock the show. When I say they rock, well, I mean they really ROCK!

The other ad isn’t bad either, where Farah Khan gatecrashes into boardroom and makes those professionals dance to her tune. Well, who cares what the tune is like, as long as one can watch these straight-faced, blue-tied veterans dance like garish teenagers in some god forsaken island! The side-splitting part is when Farah gestures to a guy to ruffle hair and the guy gives a god-forgive-me look because he’s completely bald. She then rolls her eyes and mutters under her breath not his hair but ruffle the other guy’s. That, kind of loosens up this guy and he goes on to prove to Farah khan he is the best dancer in the boardroom. Hilarious!

With a few shades of variations on these ads and Farah does the unimaginable. Bowls you over. Again and again. You can’t but smile when she vocalizes those unmistakably, typical Mumbai-styled words  “India Iss Baar Sirf Dekhne Ka Nahi”. That’s when I decided – not for the sake of Virat, Dhoni, Sachin, Chris Gayle, Brendon McCullum or any other – but for Farah’s sake I am going to watch this season’s IPL. Who knows, might even manage the jig when no one’s looking.
