Prabhuji ko Pranaam ( July 8, 2006 )

Caunteya showed me this blog entry , and I am now a hardcore fan of Prabhuji.

It seems that Prabhuji is the purveyor of creative callisthenics for your cerebrum, and his body of work is so exhaustive that even Hollywood scriptwriters have internalised some of his original symphonies in celluloid. Closer home, the Tamil superstars, Rajnikanth and Vijaykanth, arent far behind either. Check out this sample

I discovered that there is a lot to catch up on, so a visit to National Market is in order, to buy the good stuff. There is one masterpiece that I have been fortunate enough to witness with my own eyes...

Scene... A couple of goons have been arrested and are giving the constables a tough time during the "interrogation" with lathis. Enter Mithunda, the honest cop.

The goons have probably caught up with Prabhuji's histrionics( and antics ) on bootleg videos, and are justifiably nervous. Prabhuji has Kanoon ka Junoon in his bloodshot eyes ( cynics might mistake it for the previous night's Scotch ), and he strides in with a purpose. The constables know that they are in the presence of greatness, and slink away humbly.

Prabhuji walks upto the goons, and slowly takes off his police hat after a 5 second freeze frame of those eyes. He then cocks his index finger with a whizzing sound ( those who have watched Rajnikanth in action will know how this is done ) and just pokes it into the wall behind, making a 3 inch hole.

Now, the goons are shit-scared, and are expecting something dramatic, maybe Prabhuji is going to puncture their skulls or something... But they are obviously not aware of the operatic quality of Prabhuji's work; the denouement is more subtle than that... Prabhuji then takes out a pen from his pocket and puts it in the hole in the wall, and then hangs his police hat on the pen. For some reason, this breaks the mental strength of the goons, who submit to the Supreme Being and confess their sins.

Sublime stuff.
