Is it just me, or is it an utterly shit and boring song?

And dancing and cinematography isn't even that good for what its supposed to be.

It is a boring song. It's so telling that quality doesn't count anymore, the only thing that's important is ethnicity: "First time oscar for best supporting actor oscar goes to a deaf actor" ... "First oscar for best cinematography won by a disabled Mexican midget" ... "First time a blind seamstress wins the oscar for best costume design" ...

And Hollywood is still wondering why nobody is watching the Oscars anymore ...

Yeah. It isn't catchy and funny, like say Gangnam Style. Or absurd and funny like PPAP. Or fun and energetic like Jai Ho and Paper Planes.

I don't think I have ever been able to watch a full music video of either Bollywood or K-pop. Don't they cringe in these countries?

It's just you. The song and video is hype and it was a sensation around south and southeast Asia. The fact that a Telagu film blew up is pretty cool. I would have picked Dholida from gangubai though. RRR really overshadowed a lot of films.
