Does the world need Mimoh?

When I was a kid, that ridiculous Jimmy Aaja song from Disco Dancer (later sampled in a hugely misguided move by the normally excellent Brit-Lankan-Tam MIA) was a source of torment for me for quite a few years.

Why? Well, Dad's name was Jimmy and for no good reason, various kids would tease me by singing that song in my presence. And because it applied to Dad and not me, I would feel my cheeks burn.


Now I understand the whole homage thing, but here is Mithun's son - the curiously named Mimoh - prancing around in a song called Why Not Jimmy? Well there are a zillion reasons why not, but it must be said I'm developing a huge fondness for Mimoh - or as I like to call him Chhota Mithun.

Here are my reasons:

• He looks like garibon ka Bobby Deol (thanks to Pitu for that terminology)
  


• He dances like there is no tomorrow and seems to be developing some kind of kho-kho/club dance fusion
  


• He does a Mika-like hair flip move


• His first movie has songs composed by Bappi Lahiri


• Mithun left a huge void that no big cheesy has been able to fill but now there is hope
  


• Clearly, he is a method actor: "It is for the film that I have this look for which I have grown long hair as I play a DJ in it"

Here is wishing Mimoh luck. Entertain us, I command you!
