I dont understand why?


I don't understand why thw male characters try to show their "backs" in every occasion? Is that a general move in Indian culture to piss somebody off? Do you have any idea?

"Salute" somebody?... it's very strange. Thank you anyway for the answer.

And there are probably cultures in the world who think raising your right hand to your eyebrow is a 'strange' way to salute somebody.

It's just a different culture, of which there are many in the world.

If you think a little you might see that a Salutation is mostly made by the upper part of the body: You raise your hand or you bow your head or you put your hands on your heart etc.

In this particular movie, it was like 'I show you my backside and you may kick me for not believing that you could achieve what you have achieved.'
Its just that no one kicked. It was invitation to smash that backside. :P
Personally, I loved this concept.

Why you fooling foreigners, MAN? "... became a huge hit throughtout India."?

To OP:
'Tohfa kabool karo' means 'accept this gift', which is what they say in the movie while mooning someone. It has got no basis in real life and you will get thrashed badly if you did something like this in conservative country like India.
