If anyone was to summarize this video in a sentence, that would be 'A naked sandhu in the forest'. Because that is precisely what this video is. Difference: a sadhu with electric guitars (which aren't plugged in) and tablas and whatever that instrument is at 02:00. I don't really know what he really wants to do on that mountain top (Some kind of kvlt ritual maybe), but it looks horrible.
Sanjeev tries to do everything he can from highjumps to longjumps (1:50) to make this video stand out from all other videos he has made.
Gutsy video. I wouldn't go on a mountain top to show off my flabs.
You can have a look at more 'normal' video by Sanjeev here (Nice song)
Kixmet and a bunch of other people: Because I love you
Firstly, I just won't buy that that guy is actually singing that song. I mean, that is so far from reality. With him trying to convince us that he is really singing the song and sliding his hands over his bass, it all seems unreal. Then, I was wondering what that old lady was doing in the middle of the dark room with all the other band members until she actually had her part to sing.
You have to bear with the constipated looks of the vocalist/bassist till about 03:00 after which the white old lady takes over. After that, you would expect the nightmare to end, which of course isn't the case. To make things worse, going the LP style, Kixmet has a rapper too.
That makes the song 05:30 long and these would be the worst 05:30 you will ever waste on a youtube.com video.
Arjun Kaul: Soul on Fire:
If 'making videos' would just be putting scantily clad girls on the black background with fake flames, illegibly written scrolling names, then this is a video. The girls dancing behind the vocalist look like those GIF animations we all keep denying we have in our cell phones. If you look closely, its like a small video looped together.
At one point (at around 02:00) the drummer (who is pasted above the background just like everything else) stops drumming too. Seems the maker of the video didn't even care to look at his own video once it was done.
Ends with a sad animation of the guitar bursting into flames.
Rio: Introducing RIO
This is not technically a video, just a track playing random music with a speech layered over it. By the end of the video, you would sulk into your chair, clueless as to how you just wasted 4 precious minutes of your life.
It claims to be India's first Hindi rock band, which is weird because I know plenty of Hindi rock bands anyway. Ends with 'Every Indian must have a copy' and thatis when you realize that all this was just a plan to sell more CDs. :(
Transcript:
Finally Rio, India's first Hindi hard rock band is here to rock you.
For the world, by Indians, it's 'In your face!'

So come along, you are a part of this musical extravagnza. Let Rio rock you. Every Indian must have a copy!
Mindsmith: Raste:
Life of a loner is hard. To manage all your recordings yourself, fix the fans to blow your hair, keep your Windows PC from entering into the screensaver mode, keep a watch on how the sun sets outside and singing and guitaring, our friend manages it all along with singing and trying to keep his hair from falling over his face and make him look un-photogenic.
Nice view out of the window, BTW.
Silsila hai silsila:
This video is mysterious indeed and it should fill your mind with several questions. Why the fuck is there a white chick in a Mallu song? And why am I seeing multiple screens with the same thing on it? Must be my hangover.
(0:53 to 1:00) Why are the two guys facing each other (not the camera) and dancing (if you consider that as dancing) And you really want to convince me that these guys are actually singing this? (This lipsync is worse than Kixmet)
(1:18 to 1:32 and 2:18 to 2:32) WTF. :| My umbrella fetish is not coming back after I see something like that.
There are too many things to mention but I suggest you to have a look at the video yourself. If you get really bored, read the credits (Yes. They come throughout the song) The video ends with an "Enjoy life" message. Dude, with things like these, I will. Surely :P
