If I tell you this is a horror dance number it still won't prepare you. That last move was so terrifying even the judge was like "Let go! Let go!" If you told me they're actually possessed I'd believe you.

The music is a remix of the song Mere Dholna from the Bollywood movie Bhool Bhulaiyya, a remake of the classic Malayalam horror-comedy Manichitrathazhu. It's about a young bride that seemingly becomes possessed of Manjulika, a dancer of the ancient royal court whose tragic death has turned her into a vengeful spirit, one who evokes the wrath of the goddess Durga Kali. In the iconic scene that is repeated across remakes, the groom and his family discover his bride dancing in the dead of night in a manic, disassociative fugue, wearing a moth-eaten dancer's costume and a face smeared in kohl, ash and vermilion. She's hallucinating that she's Manjulika dancing carefree for the court with her lover. The upbeat music is deliberately incongruous with the pathos and creepiness of the scene in reality, especially as it crescendos in the bride's head to the moment when the king decapitates Manjulika's beloved in a fit of jealous rage.

This specific number is by the all-male troupe B Unique, performed for the Indian reality talent contest Hunabaarz. It's a modern fusion based on Bharatnatyam that turns up the creep factor by 200% and is basically a showcase of contortionism and synchronicity. One of the most perfectly choreographed and executed dances I have ever seen. Truly incredible!

The group is still taking their work across the world's talent shows. And yes, that guy is hypermobile enough to do that with his neck. XD

the intimacy of "how do you know that?"

"because I know you."

No rizz but I'll do anything to make sure you feel loved.

why is it always "good morning" but never "do you wanna see some biceps?" 😩

The secret to being a private person is to overshare dumb shit so people think you are an open book but then not tell them any of the important details of your life.

my favourite one liners from the cjp protest (part 1)

aapko protest me agenda dikh raha hai par cabinet me baitha genda nahi dikh raha

nobody funds me, i hate this corrupt government for free

asking your elected leaders for accountability. is that the bare minimum or princess treatment?

for a generation that suffers so much backpain, we sure do have a spine.

looks like the chai wala did not like the genz spilling the tea

abey jaldi resignation de kal panvel nikalna hai
