Indians buy bleaches and fairness products, which are also advertised with leading film stars endorsing these products. We must admit we are obsessed with skin colour to the extent that we would accept advertisements portraying darker women as less employable than fair skinned women. And the word gora or gori ( fair skinned )being used almost as a synonym for beauty is accepted in our society. If we aren't racist then I do not know who is.
They are all supposed to be a group of international dancers with Ms. Hawa Hawaii as their main attraction. Since India back then didn't have the concept of political correctness, I guess they just decided to paint the same local brown dancers black to portray them as dancers of a different nationality, thereby cutting down the expenditure while still giving the group an international feel (back in the day).
Bollywood still portrays foreigners in stereotypical manner. Be it in Queen, English Vinglish, or My Name is Khan. Especially, when it comes to their depiction of black people and homosexuals.
Sure, you we were kids and were ignorant about it. The maker wasn't. Director Shekhar Kapur, is a British film director, who studied in the UK and has traveled worldwide before entering movies. He knew exactly what he was doing, perhaps you didn't. So, stop defending him.
There is no reason for it. There were a lot of racist undertones in Bollywood movies and stuff back in the days. Growing up watching this we wouldn't realize how wrong and inappropriate this was. I guess it was just a random choice the filmmakers made without thinking. That being said, Mr India is one of my favourite movie and this song is just epic. I must have watched this movie at least 50 times as a kid because it is so fun and entertaining. This just brought a huge smile on my face. So glad you reacted to this. ❤
It was not racist, racism was never a problem in India. Castism and communalism are problem. Indians never owned black slaves and black face was not used to show them inferior here.when you don't have any knowledge then just sit quietly.
@@Someone-hl5gr Another food for thought, if we were inherently racists, why would we have BLACK Gods and Goddesses. Krishna God translates to shade of black, Shyaam means black...Goddess Kaali is literally black. Hindus in India do worship Goddesses of color. But I am still not sure if that is really a NOT racist thing. Anyway...In India, people do NOT suppress people based on colour. But, then there has been instances in Delhi of Africans being attacked for presumed selling of drugs.
THERE IS NOTHING RACIST HERE. HERE SHE REPRESENTS A SPY AND PRENTEND AS DANCER FROM OUTSIDE INDIA. SHE HERSEF REPRESENT A CHINESE DANCER AND THE BACK GROUND DANCERS ARE FROM AFRICA. SO THEY HAVE BEEN DRESSED LIKE THAT NOT TO BE RECOGNIZED. IN INDIA GOD ITSELF IS PAINTED BLACK AND HE IS THE SUPERIOR FROM. THERE IS NO CONCEPT OF RACISM BY COLOR IN INDIA.
I couldn't even figure out why Rick and Korbin were so offended till they said "black face". 😂 Black face isn't a concept in India, because India does not share America's history of slavery (if anything, we were victims of it). I guess they painted their bodies and faces black to contrast it with the white and pink they were wearing. And most of us are dark skinned anyway, so it's not offensive whatsoever to our senses. It's like a black man calling another black man "nigga" and the white guy getting offended 😂
Well there is cast system. The darker u r the less worthy u r. If u watched 90s bollywood u know that a little chocolate in u made u ugly almost in every film. These fair and lovely ads are not helping either. Indians were colorists at that time they just weren't reallizing it or didn't even care to acknowledge it.
Nandini Mukhopadhyay very well said. Nobody could have put it in a better way. If anything, Indians are racist towards their own n not towards the world.
when sri passed away this is the first song that came to my mind and i just listened to it on repeat and cried my eyes out!!!!! what a magnificent soul!may her soul rest in peace my beauty
@@user-qn2ey6gk4m Dude , most of us are dark. We didn't kill a native black civilization to create our own empire . Racism is the bane of Europe and USA to the rest of the world . That same concept can't be implied in Indian context.
@@divineray7822 nah fam people trying to imitate a skin colour that isn't theirs is just gross and "most of us are dark" really doesn't matter.

@@user-qn2ey6gk4m we have People who are as Dark as the black people, it makes no sense that we are racist to these people because of their colour in any way .

Our culture never oppressed the Black people because of their colour Like you describe. No one should accept this racism accusation.
@@user-qn2ey6gk4m Partiality is true Sir but not "racism" . Reason is with due respect the Bollywood industry favours those with "fair - complexion" compared to those who are original skinned. This is why most actors and actresses are heavily made up (they apply all sorts of skin lotions and make - ups) except a handful few who naturally have a fair skin tone. This is the darkest side of Bollywood .... and any wood so far.... The casting bench easily says : "He/She won't fit the camera ... sorry not in the market". This is gradually changing with great actors who were treated unfairly have started production companies of their own which hires true talent instead of "skin - colour". From ~ 1960s till now, the film industries in India have evolved from slight cultural to No culture representation. Hence as for my viewpoint, modern Indian film industry is more of "Not Indian" anymore and more of lavish rich people in parties, garbs and wines. I hope you get what I mean.
Before 90s even there was no mobile or internet. And knwledge about that black face racism is also not undrstood by 90% of the peoples. It's just a funny scene. We never thought that as a racist act until today 😂🤣😅
@@dhruveshpatel1109 Totally true, In india we can see black and brown skin in same family, so it's not a big thing unless in certain case of marriages.

Black faces are so big issue in America as it's rare and racism attached to it .but in India it's just another face and we actually not realised this and notice before u pointing out that. I feel it's just Normal color and just color codiniation 😉
Regardless, back in the 90s and prior, Bollywood would do black faces of random ppl and it’s inappropriate. They would also make many black ppl look back or black thug roles, also very racist. Granted they didn’t know all the political corrections at that time, if you think Indians aren’t racist or this isn’t racist, then you’re living under a rock
It's not normal in anyways. There are many black students in my college from African countries and then there are many people who will pass comments on them because of their colour or body shape.
Painting your face black is racist everywhere. Not just America. And you can't compare blackface to Holi. That's some mental gymnastics you did to justify what you saw. Just accept something wrong had been done in a past Era, learn from the mistakes of the people who lived before you and move on. Don't attempt whataboutism.
Sridevi has been adjuged as the greatest actress in indian cinema for over a 100 years on a poll conducted on the occasion of century of Indian cinema..
Try Charlie chaplin scene of Sridevi from the movie Mr India and dont forget to watch the song Kisi ke hath na ayegi yeh ladki These r some cool stuff she did in back 90s

Hmm. I know that Bollywood tends to copy everything American, or Western in general. Besides India's own racism issues, I wonder if in this case they were just copying American minstrel acts without realizing what it meant.
Thanks so much for watching this. It just bought such a huge smile on my face. It was a cult movie during my childhood. All of us might have watched this movie multiple times and can still watch it without getting bored. You got to watch this movie drama, comedy, action all in balance. She was such a versatile actress but nobody could beat her for her comedy timing.
my instincts tell me she was murdered. nobody drowns in a bathtub. even when you get unconsious,the lack of oxygen in brain would trigger body for last attempt. and there will be splashes of water on floor. no splashes of water on floor.. how do people get away with such stuff...
@@ShreeHariGovind thats an allegation.it can be anybody.who would gain the most by her death.or it must be some serious hate.or maybe she was holding secrets. who knows no proper investigation happened.
She is my all time favorite heroine she is Soo adorable, not only that she is Soo spontaneous and used to work according to situations she hails from South party of India
Historically, there is no white-black racism in India. Though india had caste system but nothing based on skin color. So, it was no big deal in india to color faces that way. And today also it is not, becos India has no history for skin color discrimination.
We did, we do. Just that back then it wasn't as sensitive a topic. When I was a kid, if I called a dark person "kalia", nobody would have batted an eye (but my mom slapped me when I was 8 for this reason, and I learned my lesson).
No skin color discrimination? Which India have you been living in? I am glad you might never have experienced it first hand but please, oh please, don't deny its existence.
@@littlesushie I think you are living in different India.....the one I stay in I see racism everyday everywhere.....so I would like you to open your eyes and wake up from the deep sleep you are sleeping in

@@prajwalr9802 frankly her personal life doesn't interest me, as an artist she was amazing.. Her work I have followed for years, as a South Indian, she was phenomenonal in the movie down here and in Bollywood too.. She will be my all time fave
Maybe sadma is her best in Bollywood...but come down to south sge was a rockstar, lady superstar with much better acting..her first movie in telugu as a heroine padaharella vayasu(at the age of 16) .. she did splendid performance which is remembered till now..they are many good performance of her here in South.. she was a born actress..
No one actually paid attention to the background dancers during that time because sridevi presence made everyone else out of focus. I think they were trying to portray like dancers from different parts of the world. She is one of the famous female superstars.
LOL This is one of those things that was hilarious and fun when we were kids and now just looks HIDEOUSLY RACIST !!!!! It is just something that was seen as funny then. but I still love Sridevi so DAMN IT! NO there is no need for blackface
The biggest female superstar of Indian film Indudtry SRIDEVI and the finest actress of whole world . Past ,present and even future nobody can touch her acting talents.
My heart goes out to sridevi.. Please react to her song "Na jaane Kaha se aaye hai "from the movie chaalbaz..And yes watch Mr India u will love this movie
I dont know why people say indian are racist ....like seriously!!! There is no discrimination in the laws ...theres no difference in the rights shared by all colors of ppl in india...and if some ppl like their partner to be bright color then that is their type their choice its not racism .....and the black color guys were just painted black to meet the choreography and costume ....if thats the case then i think that tarzan should have been offended just becoz they wore costume and danced like tarzan.....its not racism ....racism is when theres difference in their rights or they are mistreated ....
Mithun Da doing 80s and 90s was very Popular Actor and he had fan following in Former USSR, Eastern European Countries and African Countries. He then was no lesser to Amitabh Bachchan. He won 3 National Awards and 2 Film Fare Awards.
At first I was like why do you react in such way when that slow motion part appears and why are are you uncomfortable with that costume but then I realised it's black face but was totally unintentional...
Sridevi is the quintessential child woman always. You people should watch this movie Mr. India. Watch her telugu movie ,"Kshana Kshanam". Also watch her in " Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari" , in telugu. She is brilliant.
Hahahahahaha... tensions are their related to caste in India... not at all regarding Colour...never was there. I think you are misjudging our madness to be fair skinned... with racism.
North East Indians are treated like foreigners to this day. There is a race issue in India. And there is plenty of learned racism against black people as well. Caste and colourism aren't our only faults.
I am fortunate to see her movies in cinema... English Vinglish and MOM. My most favourite actress I used to see her movies on Doordarshan in my childhood. Will miss forever.
We take black white both faces as joke...truly...in india nobody serious about their color...using white cream product is other matter....#Also in this,nothing wrong.....#Keep reacting...always love ur reaction...
Nothing racist here back then budget restrain so couldn't heir people from west so used color to paint face No ulterior motives Indian anyway are dark skin proud to have it Are god are also dark 👍👍
You know the diff between dark skin and painting the face black right? Those Indian dancers were already dark, Dir painted their faces jet black for a jungle-themed dance number. Similar to what Hollywood did in the 1940s original King Kong movie. I can't believe people are defending this blatant racism/black face in the comments with their whataboutery abt Indiana Jones or by simply pleading ignorance. Sure, you were kids and were ignorant about it. The maker wasn't. Director Shekhar Kapur, is a British film director, who studied in the UK and has traveled worldwide before entering movies. He knew exactly what he was doing, perhaps you didn't. So, stop defending him.
Sridevi was the superstar!! One of ze best actress in indian cinema.. watch her acting in movie Sadma. There is a song Aye zindagi gale laga ley... iconic song... great song n great movie
Her name is Sridevi, from Southern India film Super Star, and become Bollywood Super Star. Sridevi is one of the most talented film stars and started her film career as a child artist.
Thank you so much for reacting to this....I love this song so much and Sridevi She is so amazing I can't tell you....I love her, her expression, her timing is superb❤❤❤❤❤❤
You have to have to watch sridavi in Shiv tandav sotram from movie Chalbaaz plsssas.....pls react to it... you will just luv her.... she is excellent with her comic timing though.
Her news of her death sent shock waves all over especially for us 90’s kids that grew up watching her movies/ dancing. She’ll live on as one of India’s finests for generations to come
Good work thumsup..she is indias " female Super Star " ever ..did movies around 300 movies 50 years from the age 5 ( child artist) 5 Indian languages.. she deserved all RECOGNITIONS..Bollywood should do tributes to her 50 years & Kamal hassan 60 years in Indian cinema growth ..100 years..
Hey fellas!!! How u doin' ?? Shri devi was such bst female an actress. I ve evr seen in my life she was stardom in her ages. But lemme tell u somethin bout her. Probably u dunno either that she was die hard fan of michael jackson.. She quite said this in "KAUN BANEGA CROREPATI" that is an indian show.May her soul rest in peace. She ll be live in our heart forevr.💖👌😘😊 God bless u. 🙏
I am sure there was. It just wasn't recognised. Black facing the background dancers to dance as idiots is dehumanizing black people. Back then, black people were just thought of as freaks from Africa. And that is racist. It just wasn't recognised as racism.
My all time favourite movie.. you guys must watch this whenever you get a chance. It is very funny movie and Sridevi Ji is just amazing. Watch it for her.
You should react to a comedy scene from this film - Mr India where Sridevi does Charlie Chaplin’s role. Like this comment up. PS: Happy Birthday Sridevi ji
Black angle was just to show variety and not supremacy of one race over another. She was masquerading as a dancer in the villian's den for obviously reasons which is why you need to see this Super Hit Film, which is also why she probably got slapped towards the end of the song.
Thats not about Black face or anything else you should must understand the meaning of song not only it's meaning but you also need to understand why in the starting it says lassi pissi how do you do only a real Indian would understand about this
Love your reaction guys for hawa hawai 😊😊Sri Devi is great Icon of Indian Cinema, we will always miss her, no one can stand in front of her acting ❤❤❤❤❤

Indians buy bleaches and fairness products, which are also advertised with leading film stars endorsing these products.
We must admit we are obsessed with skin colour to the extent that we would accept advertisements portraying darker women as less employable than fair skinned women. And the word gora or gori ( fair skinned )being used almost as a synonym for beauty is accepted in our society. If we aren't racist then I do not know who is.
They are all supposed to be a group of international dancers with Ms. Hawa Hawaii as their main attraction.

@@mohit0953 you forgot Hema Malini
React to Sridevi's rajasthani song MORNI BAAGA MA
She is my all time favorite heroine she is Soo adorable, not only that she is Soo spontaneous and used to work according to situations she hails from South party of India
One of the most versatile actresses ever! God bless Sridevi’s soul 🌹
Historically, there is no white-black racism in India. Though india had caste system but nothing based on skin color. So, it was no big deal in india to color faces that way. And today also it is not, becos India has no history for skin color discrimination.
We did, we do. Just that back then it wasn't as sensitive a topic. When I was a kid, if I called a dark person "kalia", nobody would have batted an eye (but my mom slapped me when I was 8 for this reason, and I learned my lesson).
and there is fair n lovely ad
No skin color discrimination? Which India have you been living in? I am glad you might never have experienced it first hand but please, oh please, don't deny its existence.
@@littlesushie I think you are living in different India.....the one I stay in I see racism everyday everywhere.....so I would like you to open your eyes and wake up from the deep sleep you are sleeping in
Indian Matrimonial : Need a Fair Bride.
😑😑😑
Watch sadma.. U will know why she's goddess in Indian cinema..
Her best work
my instincts tell me she was murdered.
nobody drowns in a bathtub.
even when you get unconsious,the lack of oxygen in brain would trigger body for last attempt.
and there will be splashes of water on floor.
no splashes of water on floor..
how do people get away with such stuff...
You have not seen that means the real goddesses of indian cinema
@@prajwalr9802 frankly her personal life doesn't interest me, as an artist she was amazing.. Her work I have followed for years, as a South Indian, she was phenomenonal in the movie down here and in Bollywood too.. She will be my all time fave
Maybe sadma is her best in Bollywood...but come down to south sge was a rockstar, lady superstar with much better acting..her first movie in telugu as a heroine padaharella vayasu(at the age of 16) .. she did splendid performance which is remembered till now..they are many good performance of her here in South.. she was a born actress..
No one actually paid attention to the background dancers during that time because sridevi presence made everyone else out of focus. I think they were trying to portray like dancers from different parts of the world. She is one of the famous female superstars.
Yes, they were shown dark and Sridevi was fair which will make her stand out and hence the audience would not notice what the makers have done
Its done to highlight sridevi! We didn't even know it's racist 😂😂😂
LOL This is one of those things that was hilarious and fun when we were kids
and now just looks HIDEOUSLY RACIST !!!!!
It is just something that was seen as funny then.
but I still love Sridevi so DAMN IT!
NO there is no need for blackface
yh agree with you... this type of songs were made only for fun then 😄
It was what it was for the time and your culture. Not everyone everywhere has the same standards.
Sridevi is the queen of hearts.
Actresses nowadays aren't that versatile compared to older heroines like Sridevi, Madhuri and Tabu
And Govinda 🤭🤭
Madhuri was versatile? Joke. Is that why she took a break from films- because she can't act like people expect actors to?
@@sujanikoya2826 but don't u think she was good actress...i think you should not judge her personal life dear
The biggest female superstar of Indian film Indudtry SRIDEVI and the finest actress of whole world . Past ,present and even future nobody can touch her acting talents.
SRIDEVI JI IS A LEGEND.HER BEAUTY IS BEYOND OUR THINKING.BEST ACTRESS IN THE WORLD
Maqbool review.
Then Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Reaction.
Then Hawa Hawai reaction
You guys have us today..
Its feels so happy and so nostalgic😘💜
My heart goes out to sridevi.. Please react to her song "Na jaane Kaha se aaye hai "from the movie chaalbaz..And yes watch Mr India u will love this movie
Yes @ourstupidreactions please react to 'Na jaane kaha se aaye hai ' from Chaalbaaz
Yes, that song is GOLD.
Its her bday 13/8/2019 we lost a gem❤😘🤗
I dont know why people say indian are racist ....like seriously!!! There is no discrimination in the laws ...theres no difference in the rights shared by all colors of ppl in india...and if some ppl like their partner to be bright color then that is their type their choice its not racism .....and the black color guys were just painted black to meet the choreography and costume ....if thats the case then i think that tarzan should have been offended just becoz they wore costume and danced like tarzan.....its not racism ....racism is when theres difference in their rights or they are mistreated ....
OSR: we can't get enough of 90s.
wait till you see the 80s and Jitender and Mithun Da lol.
Mithun Da doing 80s and 90s was very Popular Actor and he had fan following in Former USSR, Eastern European Countries and African Countries. He then was no lesser to Amitabh Bachchan. He won 3 National Awards and 2 Film Fare Awards.
This song is from a 1987 movie
Don't put ideas in their heads, please!
@@dr.sachidulalchanda3134 I know who Mithun Da is.
Sri Devi STILL Queen of Bollywood!! RIP!! Always love you. 😘
At first I was like why do you react in such way when that slow motion part appears and why are are you uncomfortable with that costume but then I realised it's black face but was totally unintentional...
Sridevi to sridevi thi unke jaisa Koi nahi unke beauty talent aur cuteness ke aage sab actress fail hai
If you guys see her (Sridevi) in tollywood movie "Jagadeeka veerudu Athi loka sundari" in Angelic getup, you accept that she is an Angel.
Also in Pari!
Must watch this movie "Mr. India " It's one of the best movies ever and must watch "Chalbaaz" another masterpiece of sridevi
Just look at the expressions of Sri devi mam , no one can ever match that.
Sridevi is the quintessential child woman always. You people should watch this movie Mr. India. Watch her telugu movie ,"Kshana Kshanam".
Also watch her in " Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari" , in telugu.
She is brilliant.
Hahahahahaha... tensions are their related to caste in India... not at all regarding Colour...never was there.
I think you are misjudging our madness to be fair skinned... with racism.
That's true
North East Indians are treated like foreigners to this day. There is a race issue in India. And there is plenty of learned racism against black people as well. Caste and colourism aren't our only faults.
Thank you for reacting on this video since it's Late Sridevi's birthday today❤🙏🙏
My favorite movie...favorite actor..favorites actress...favorites song...favorite singer.....in this movie there all songs are awsome.. ....hawa hawai
I am fortunate to see her movies in cinema... English Vinglish and MOM. My most favourite actress I used to see her movies on Doordarshan in my childhood. Will miss forever.
What a coincidence 🤩 in the morning I was watching this song on TV and thinking that u guys should react on it 🤩🤩n u did😄😄
#LawOfAttraction
That shows how close are we to these guys
My phone showed the notification of this video when the song ended on tv...😂
We take black white both faces as joke...truly...in india nobody serious about their color...using white cream product is other matter....#Also in this,nothing wrong.....#Keep reacting...always love ur reaction...
This is my sridevi 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
She is love❤️ why god takes away the best we have😭
You should watch Sadma best movie of Sridevi
Right
Totaly agree
Yes!!!!
Nothing racist here back then budget restrain so couldn't heir people from west so used color to paint face
No ulterior motives
Indian anyway are dark skin proud to have it
Are god are also dark
👍👍
Yes we come in every colors
You know the diff between dark skin and painting the face black right? Those Indian dancers were already dark, Dir painted their faces jet black for a jungle-themed dance number. Similar to what Hollywood did in the 1940s original King Kong movie.
I can't believe people are defending this blatant racism/black face in the comments with their whataboutery abt Indiana Jones or by simply pleading ignorance.
Sure, you were kids and were ignorant about it.
The maker wasn't.
Director Shekhar Kapur, is a British film director, who studied in the UK and has traveled worldwide before entering movies.
He knew exactly what he was doing, perhaps you didn't. So, stop defending him.
Sridevi was the superstar!! One of ze best actress in indian cinema.. watch her acting in movie Sadma. There is a song Aye zindagi gale laga ley... iconic song... great song n great movie
Sridevi is no more....but The heroine seems to be alive with her movies and songs....🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳👌👌🙏
Still can't believe that she is no more with us.. RIP sridevi mam 😢.. and Happy birthday to her ❤
Sridevi was amazing legendary Actress 🙏❤️
Her name is Sridevi, from Southern India film Super Star, and become Bollywood Super Star. Sridevi is one of the most talented film stars and started her film career as a child artist.
Thank you so much for reacting to this....I love this song so much and Sridevi She is so amazing I can't tell you....I love her, her expression, her timing is superb❤❤❤❤❤❤
Evergreen super star of the nation
React to Sandesh se aaate hai from movie BORDER beautiful song

Late. Shri devi was fantastic actor. She could pull up any role/outfit. This song is q comic relief in the movie.
My favourite actress of all times Sridevi

You have to have to watch sridavi in Shiv tandav sotram from movie Chalbaaz plsssas.....pls react to it... you will just luv her.... she is excellent with her comic timing though.
Rip Sri Devi Ji ✨💛🙏🏻
Her news of her death sent shock waves all over especially for us 90’s kids that grew up watching her movies/ dancing. She’ll live on as one of India’s finests for generations to come

#OSR..
Good work thumsup..she is indias " female Super Star " ever ..did movies around 300 movies 50 years from the age 5 ( child artist) 5 Indian languages.. she deserved all RECOGNITIONS..Bollywood should do tributes to her 50 years & Kamal hassan 60 years in Indian cinema growth ..100 years..
Hey fellas!!! How u doin' ?? Shri devi was such bst female an actress. I ve evr seen in my life she was stardom in her ages. But lemme tell u somethin bout her. Probably u dunno either that she was die hard fan of michael jackson.. She quite said this in "KAUN BANEGA CROREPATI" that is an indian show.May her soul rest in peace. She ll be live in our heart forevr.💖👌😘😊 God bless u. 🙏
whats up with the black faces? the concept of racism wasnt there in 80s india.
I am sure there was. It just wasn't recognised. Black facing the background dancers to dance as idiots is dehumanizing black people. Back then, black people were just thought of as freaks from Africa. And that is racist. It just wasn't recognised as racism.
Das
Sometimes.their reaction is stupid.
HBD Sridevi!!!!....Please react to Sridevi's morni song from the movie Lamhe and her tandav dance from the movie Chandani...
My all time favourite movie.. you guys must watch this whenever you get a chance. It is very funny movie and Sridevi Ji is just amazing. Watch it for her.
Never born. Dance & acting queen. The greatest Indian queen south & north.
Dream girl trailer dropped yesterday...and still you haven't reacted to it..please react fast
🙏
NOBODY GIVES A SHIT . :-/
And section 375
You should react to a comedy scene from this film - Mr India where Sridevi does Charlie Chaplin’s role. Like this comment up.
PS: Happy Birthday Sridevi ji
RIP to the Legend of the Bollywood ... Sri Devi ..🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
My All time favorite actress ... 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Happy birthday to the super talent called sridevi
Sri devi song naa jaane kaha se aayi he song from chaalbaaz movie react soon
I completely forgotten blackface in this song. Racist and sexist is normal in the 90s Bollywood movies.
Black angle was just to show variety and not supremacy of one race over another. She was masquerading as a dancer in the villian's den for obviously reasons which is why you need to see this Super Hit Film, which is also why she probably got slapped towards the end of the song.
Reaction on more shridevi song shridevi ❤❤❤greatest actress all over the world
Thats not about Black face or anything else you should must understand the meaning of song not only it's meaning but you also need to understand why in the starting it says lassi pissi how do you do only a real Indian would understand about this
You should watch Madhuri in EK Do Teen.. another 90s masterpiece!
80s....
@@abdihassan2005 Why so much hate bruh?
Love your reaction guys for hawa hawai 😊😊Sri Devi is great Icon of Indian Cinema, we will always miss her, no one can stand in front of her acting ❤❤❤❤❤
Shreedevi, she is indian female superstar.
