Bollywood's violently dramatic take on Rugby is out of this world

Comments

This week some videos surfaced featuring clips from a ten year old Indian movie that had a rugby back story. Above is one such video, and it's fascinating to say the least. With kicks to the face, extreme rucking and WWE style bodyslams, Bollywood rugby is a must watch.

The film is called Sye and was made in 2004. It's actually not from Bollywood, but from Tollywood, which means it's made in the Telugu language which is favoured in certain regions of India. Whatever the case, it's dramatic, violent, amusing and frightening all at once.

Some of the handling is actually pretty good, but the exaggerated aggression is hilarious.

    Try plating second row the day after a front rower has eaten curry and you'll understand......

    Have you ever seen Kabaddi? It is a bit like a game of 7s, minus the ball.

    Check it out on youtube, it looks brilliant fun!

    I have always wondered why rugby never stuck in India. Most every place else in the empire plays. Too hot, ground too hard, burn too many calories, too violent?

    This is pretty much what happens when any Pacific Isles teams play against each other.

    looks like any England vs France game from the 90s. That rucking is straight out of 1991
