[UPDATE: LYRICS!] Your New Favorite Song, CHINTU JI's "Akira Kurosawa"

Just when I thought Bollywood couldn't get any weirder, this appears in my Twitter feed.

Chintu Ji is a 2009 Bollywood film starring Rishi Kapoor, the son of the greatest of all Bollywood legends, Raj Kapoor.  NDTV's Anupama Chopra did a fine job summarizing the film in her review, so I'm cribbing it:

Written and directed by theatre director Ranjit Kapoor, Chintu ji is a part-factual, part-fictional story set in a small town called Hadbahedi. This is a Utopian town with no cell phones, one weekly newspaper and half an airport.

But everyone lives in harmony because they follow the path of truth, non-violence and always listen to their hearts.

Hadbahedi's only claim to fame is that Raj Kapoor happened to be visiting when his wife Krishna went into labour and therefore Rishi Kapoor, also known as Chintu, was born there.

The kindly citizens of Hadbahedi invite the actor to the town. The arrogant, insufferably spoilt, past-his-prime actor, who now wants to make a foray into politics, accepts.

Apparently, hilarity ensues. I cannot contextualize this video, however, and I don't wish to.  This is the kind of WTF, out of nowhere, amazing, incredible, awesomeness that drew me toward Bollywood in the first place.  You can't make this shit up. 

Give me four minutes of your life, and I promise you won't regret it.  I give you, Akira Kurosawa.

Edit to say I translated this awesomeness:
