Shash-alike

A squealing thank you to Aspi for sending me this clip of the look-alike special of the tv show Boogie Woogie. "Shashi" and "Amitabh" dance to "Jaanu Meri Jaan" from Shaan (about 5 minutes in). It's so fun! The Shashi hair, head wobbles, flailing arms, and scrunchy jaw-line wild grin are perfect, and I agree with Aspi that the dancer nailed Shashi's "jerky sashay" (which henceforward, in the assemblage-loving wordplay style of this blog, shall be called "Shashay," or possibly "Shashé" if he is in a very dandy role).



Earlier in the clip, I also enjoyed "Salman"'s gigantic shoes and side-to-side step-aerobics moves.

Aside to "Shashi": would you like an unpaid job hanging out in my living room and dancing along to movies and occasionally doing intense dramatic interpretations of the cultural tribulations of the firangi ladki/Hindustani ladka relationship (cf. Merchant/Ivory/Jhabvala) and venturing down a mine shaft to save stranded workers? You would? Swell!
