OlderNatalie Portman is a Bollywood Babe
Natalie Portman has a grand ol’ time starring in her boyfriend’s hilarious new Bollywood-inspired music video, “Carmensita”.
In the video, Venezuelan folk rocker Devendra Banhart plays a prince who must use his snake-shooting eyes, knife throwing prowess and “rebellious beard” to save the a beautiful princess (played by Portman).
Check out the music video at Spinner.com. Stick around for the tongue-in-cheek subtitles with questionable English translations! Here are some examples:
– “Grandma! I love you in a salad way!”
– Crystal bubbles will cremate our troubles!
– Have you forgotten the alphabet of desire?
– I will release the fire of pain trapped inside my body and immolate myself.
WHAT DO YOU THINK of Natalie’s Bollywood-inspiired music video performance?
60+ screencaps inside of Natalie and Devendra… (They’re hilarious!)

****** hell, only people in the US can see the video, I hate aol.
WELL, THIS IS FRANKLY QUITE RASCIST…
AND I’M NOT EVEN HINDU….
I AM EAST INDIAN AMERICAN THOUGH… LET’S KEEP AWAY THE HATE WORDS, NOW.
Ew….Bollywood. Sorry that was harsh but honestly i can’t stand the clothes.
Devendra is a musical artist and they tend to be weird. Racist I think not! Natalie sure looks beautiful though and happy. :D
OMG Ioved it, it is hysterical, colorful, beautiful music, Devendra is very talented, Natalie is unbelievably beautiful, I love the way she moves, what a different creative peace, just great
I don’t see anything offensive, it is very entertaining and tasteful
Devendra is great, he is cool and bright, I can see why Nat likes him
This video is hilarious!! Natalie and Devandra are funny and dance well. I will say again. Natalie is very beautiful!
Natalie looks hideous
@fg
are you blind, she is the most beautiful female star in Hollywood
your name is not fg it is ***
i can’t stop watching the video, it’s so funny, it’s great
very creative for a change
Is it wrong for a rich and successful woman to have a sugar baby? is it wrong that she falls in love with a handsome and charming man? It’s human nature for her to want a younger and more attractive partner. Furthermore, more and more services come out on Internet focusing on this kind of relationship, such as ^^^Sugar daddyconnect . c om.
Natalie and Devandra are funny and have adorable chemistry in this video. It is obvious Natalie can act and furthermore the most beautiful actress I think out there.
Go away haters! ;)
why do you say that Devendra is a sugar baby, he must be loaded after all his tours
how many guys in Hollywood are as loaded as Portman, she is working since she is 11
Love comes first and Natalie is the One.
I love her <3.
I love this video, it is really different
portman always makes the right choices, her movies, now her video, if her name is in it you are guaranteed quality
i loved it
I LOVED THIS VIDEO TOO!
Natalie looks so pretty!!
Wow. Just from the caps alone this looks bad. She looks so much better without so much make-up.

Natalie has perfect features and looks stunning with bright make up, she looked great in Cannes and she looks great in the video
what a gorgeous girl
Crap video showing their typical half baked knowledge of indian Gods and the mythology. Now maybe Bollywood should make a music video of Jesus Christ dancing around in a diaper while nailed to a crucifix. that would be fun, would’nt it?
Oh my God. I love it! Looks like their having fun. Some of you people need t watch some crazy Bollywood films to really appreciate this.
He CREEPS me out entirely.
There is something about him that makes me feel VERY uncomfortable.
I guess Natalie likes those off putting indie folk hippie types. This is just my observation.
Cute music video though, and the song is nice, sweet voice.
Natalie of course, looks BEAUTIFUL.
@ 27 where is your sense of humor, by the way, Hollywood made fun of every religion a million times, do not be so paranoid, it is a very sweet and funny video, I think this video glamorizes Indian culture and religion, I do not see anything wrong with it
LOL@ number 7
this video is not even offensive….
they are just making fun of bollywood……
I love Natalie Portman, she’s one of my favorite actresses, and she’s so pretty.
Racist !! Making fun of Indians,they’re religion && cultural. You know why because I’m half Indian
IT IS TOTALLY OFFENSIVE…
i am not hindu, but i have friends who are and they find it totally ridiculous.
i can understand making fun od bollywood… yea, even i find it funny… but when it comes to hinduism… why dont we make fun of busshism (which by the way originated from india because the Buddha was an INDIAN). Or why dont we do the same to Jewish people? or WHAT ABOUT KWANZA or other religions? HInduism maybe respected by people outside the religion, but it is sacred to others. There is
no ‘beauty’ in this.
No wonder Natalie could only major in a dullheaded degree like Psychology at Harvard. She wasnt smart enough to do anything else over there, short of being accepted into the university due to her fame.
I know Indians who found Madonna’s videos (back in the day) that represented certain Indian/Hindu customs/ religious beliefs as offenive. Unless you are a Hindu, stop trying to imitate that religion. There are people who truly worship that religion… doctors, professors, civilians… respected people and just regular neighbors… they dont find it funny. They think it looks horrid! Maybe some Indians or Hindus find it “wonderful” but talk about stupidity…
And as someone who is NOT from the Indian culture, I find it horrid, as well.
Unless Dvendra and Natalie are converted Hindus, then I dont think they are making the religion beautiful at all. They completely made a fool of that religion and their people.
If I were Indian or not, I could look at this as a beautiful thing.. but HINDUS DON’T WANT THIS TYPE OF ATTENTION. They dont want any help from anyone in representing their religion. And any one of this religion or culture that supports it is completely naive and stupid.
@ #33, #34 and 35,
God! Sounds like some people have their panties in a bunch!
Devendra is an musician and artist. He is inventive, funny and creative. It is just a music video. Some will love it and some will hate it. Devandra and Natalie were funny and cute. I found the video entertaining and there was nothing wrong with it.
@ Sharon,
Sound’s like you are a hater. Natalie is far from dullheaded! Natalie has accomplished more then a lot of other dimwhitted celebrity actresses out there. Oh? Do you have degree’s then? Going to Harvard and working on top of that is no easy feat. Plus, she speaks fluent in 3 different languages. She is plenty smart. She looks gorgeous in this video and looks fabulous un-made up too. Stop Hating and just deal!
There video seemed like a funny spin off from Aladdin. It was funny and different and sounds like some people don’t know the meaning of the term of having a sense of humor! PATHETIC! :roll:
Keep an open mind is all I have to say.
Yeah…so what if we turned the tables, and you saw a bunch of Hindus making fun of Jews???
Y’all would up in arms…
And k, yes it IS offensive, even if you can’t see what’s so offensive about it. Maybe you should get out of the US once in a while.
Cool vid!
@37
Did you see Larry David, a jew who ate Jesus cookies on Christmas, jews do not need Hindus to make fun of them, they do it way too much themselves
The video is funny and tasteful, has nothing offensive in it, stop fabricating facts, it is just a funny video, get over yourselves, be grateful they make Indian traditions public and fun, that is respect not making fun of
this Devendra dude is pretty cool, what is all this, isnt’s he Venezuelan from Taxes
so this video is about Venezuelan poking fun at Hindus? I think it is just a creative expression, has nothing to do with making fun of Hindus
funny and creative, nice
Ewww you can see Devendra’s pubes… *gag*
ruins the whole video
pretty distasteful.
i think he’s pretty hot……should i be concerned about myself?
I think the reason D.B. chose to poke fun at this video was also because he was named after some Indian spiritual leader his parents followed while he was born, So he has that connection. I think its pretty funny. The tune is really catchy in my opinion. They’re just trying to over exaggerate the Bollywood style in an artistic way.
simply brilliant !!
it’s so fun and unpretentious, and the song is catchy too :)))
can someone translate the lyrics?
Wow that was soooo stupid…just loved Natalie Portman’s stupid faces she was making while trying to dance, oh well not many people will see this video anyways because who the hell cares about this dumb singer, we only know who he is because he dating a big hollywood star!!! good move dude way to pimp Natalie!!! look how well its working for Nick Cannon… Natalie Portman looks like a 12 year old playing dress up HA HA HA HA
I don’t think the point is for her to look pretty. It’s comedy. I love the mistranslated subtitles.
Im waiting to see that video also. Those pics looked very promising.
Natalie is the most beautiful.
I love her <3.
This isn’t racist. You’re a freaking idiot if you think this is racist.
It’s a sendup of Bollywood B films. I’ve seen a few and this video isn’t far off. Especially the subtitles.
Devendra is very culturally aware. He’s a fringe artist though, because he’s very irreverent. He never takes himself or a subject matter too seriously.
Portman looks so cute in this.
“Oh, look at my, I have the maturity and cultural understanding of a 5 year old. And I know Hindus!”
STFU. Seriously. Those of you claiming this is racist are being more bigoted than Devendra. He’s not even implying that Hindus are inferior or stupid with this video. First of all, you know NOTHING about Bollywood if you think this is offensive. You have literally never seen a Bollywood film, or only the hyper-commercialized films made for the west. You could probably pull up several clips of Bollywood films off of YouTube that take themselves as seriously as this video does.
Secondly, a great deal of the myths and stories in Indian culture are metaphors- THEY’RE NOT MEANT LITERALLY.
If you think the Indians believe some of their myths really happened, you have a lower opinion of them than you could ever suggest Devendra does.
Also, plenty of Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim, Christian, Pagan, and Atheist people poke fun at their own beliefs. All religions and cultures have preposterous legends and there is nothing wrong with recognizing it.
You want to know what is wrong? Calling someone a racist just because you aren’t especially cultured. It’s people like Sharon and Cassandra that twist religion and culture into dangerous things- taking them too literally and using your righteousness as an excuse to attack others. Piss off.
that dudes face smells like old man balls :D
You people are stupid if you find this offensive. Oh, and stupid-westerners, I would find it absolutely hilarious if someone made a video of jesus dancing around nailed to the cross in a diaper. That would be a great laugh. Actually, check the video on youtube of Jesus and George Bush crapping all over each other. It is great.
Lighten the hell up.
To clarify, stupid-westerners is poster I am replying to. I am not calling anybody a stupid westerner.
I don’t think the video itself is “racist” of course not, it’s just parody, but I do wonder why D.B. and especially Portman think they are entitled to make these sorts of joked? Wouldn’t it have played better if he had cast an ACTUAL Indian woman to send up her own culture, rather than Portman, a privileged outsider?
I watched it. Wow. Portman can’t even act in a music video with no dialogue!
this is NOT funny!! being a hindu ,im really offended..there is a limit and not all bollywood movies are like this.i think natalie portman is very beautiful but in this she looks terrible!!!
It was created to offend, make fun, or be funny. I have a hindu friend who thinks the video is poking fun of Hollywood’s representation on hinduism. I get why people hate these videos, but if you don’t like it, don’t waste your time.
I love you Natalie <3.
to #56,
im just expressin my opinion…everybody has a diff opinion and mine just happens to be different from ur freind’s
sorry tht was #59…. not #56…
Video is just funny, Natalie is so gorgeous

elitist scum
