Kashif got his 15 min. of fame and 3:35 min. of free air-time to advertise his now world famous sandwich shop. Next time you see Kashif, you know you’ll go in and ask for an autograph and to see a little of that knee massagin’ action. Kashif is da man, don’t be hatin’.

Bunch of loonies u are…academic..self-obsessed cupcakes. Whether he’s a plant, is for real or fell out of the sky, what does it matter. The guy has pulled off what he did and try and appreciate the entertainment value, rather than dissecting the issue with toothpicks. As for media trying to paint desis in poor light, guess what. any publicity is eventually good publicity and people will start loving the garish act that bollywood is.

Lol, I love how you people are saying everyone in your family or your friends can dance better than him. In reality you’re all just upset because Kashif, a Pakistani was the one who had the courage to go up on stage and a actually perform and compete for a million dollars. While all you guys can do is sit at home and watch him.

in principle i am glad to see someone doing this in the contest. but hrithik roshan he ain’t. kashif needs to spend a lot time in the gym and in dance class to make this “talent” work. too bad for america they are not getting a really great example of filmi dance and will have no idea how really fabulous it can be when performed by the right people.

As a male Indian dancer, I wish there was someone more competent representing our creed…perhaps something more along the lines of [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqqP9RvkyKc]this[/url]

Its a, Napoleon Dynamite, trip… Perfect way to mock the brown community. Doesn’t this guy have friends that could have told him that his dancing sucked and that his only chances are in commedy?

Manju: Are you going to let DesiDancer get away with #14??

i hear you Legionary Pullo. and normally i'd let these artistic types-- who depend so much on us bourgeois financiers, without whom they'd still be stuck on the farm wondering about paris--have it in no uncertain terms, especially since they find our existence grotesque and incomprehensible, despite the fact that we assuage poverty...which is of course something they don't talk about during their tea parties in Cambridge.

but i withheld because desidancer has it right. Kashif's dorky immigrant shtick combined with the obvious michael jackson reference is clearly a subversive statement aimed at warning america that what seems so innocent is really very dangerous. jackson is the personification of america's problematic race relations and the ibanking wardrobe of the analyst class is menat to warn america that the formally colonized have finally shed their fabian blinders and realized the path to true power lies in the creative destruction of american-style capitalism.

like bollywood, kashif has chosen pop culture to expose this trojan horse, so only someone schooled in the high and low, like desidancer or camille paglia, can get it.

much respect to DD.
