Be Our Pondati (Call Me Maybe Parody)

This is our entry for Saahitya 2016's Sir Mix-A-Lot song parody contest! We rewrote the lyrics to Call Me Maybe in the style of an Indian Matrimonial Ad. Many thanks to Krupa Varghese for being the stellar actor in this video! P.S. - Pondati means 'wife' in Tamil.
