Its nonsense. I dont know what else to tell you, says Vir Das about Tadka,a new music video released by his comedy rock band,Alien Chutney. And when he emerges in the video,wrapped in tight leather pants,a leopard print bandana and a brown feather boa around his neck,one is inclined to agree with him. If you find his 80s-rocker look amusing,there are more surprises. He is surrounded by a thick curtain of hanging foliage,drooping heavily with vegetables. As he walks deeper into the verdure,he begins to croon a slow love ballad,ostensibly for his lady love. Later in the song,the mystery of hanging vegetables is explained as he sings,When her sabzi tokri hits my floor,makes me ohhhh… Cause youre my sexy sabziwaali,And Im your tadka.
I thought,what if a boy was in love with his sabziwaali,would he buy extra vegetables? Would he fantasise about her? And thats what the video is about his fantasy about the sexy sabziwaali, says Das. Tadka is Alien Chutneys second video. I thought of Tadka because of my dog,Dr Watson,who would always hang out with the sabziwaali. Every time he came back,he stole a vegetable from her, he adds.
In the video,model and VJ Ramona plays the coy and alluring sabziwaali. Das says,When I first asked Ramona to do it,she said no. Half the battle is getting people into the costume. Then the video just shoots itself, says Das.
