"Indian Thriller"
"Donga" was also the subject of a viral video involving a scene featuring the film's musical number "Golimar" ("Shoot the Bullet"). The scene contains choreography and elements which appear to be very similar to Michael Jackson's music video for Thriller (which leads to the common nickname for the video, "Indian Thriller") and has become a widely seen video on YouTube[1][2] with over 8.5 million views.
A further parody of the scene by Mike Sutton (otherwise known under the user name "Buffalax") entitled "Indian Thriller with English lyrics" added subtitles to the video phonetically approximating the original lyrics as English sentences, producing such lines as "Nippley man I met, he ate my motorboat!" and "I'll eat wasabi on my dude."[2] He has also produced similar spoofs with other songs, including "Benny Lava", a spoof of a song from the Tamil film Pennin Manathai Thottu.[2] It should also be mentioned this video is famous in China and Taiwan because in the video Chiranjeevi repeatedly shouts "Golimar!" which sounds similar to a Chinese swear, "干你妈"
