This video by Asmita Ghosh, takes the hit pop single Carly Jepsen’s ‘Call Me Maybe’ and twists it to suit the perfect pursuit for a typical Pondati ( Tamil for Wife ). And after mentioning all the stereotypes that every family “typically” look for in the prospective bride/wife/daughter-in-law, the very hummable line goes ” Call Me Maybe”
A dig at the societal ridiculousness seeking a tall thin fair girl for their ambitious son, making not only round chapatis but also healthy babies, etc everything wrong here is taken up as yardsticks of compatibility.
Kiddings apart, This parody song seeks the perfect pondati, and it’s hilarious and completely bang on!
