About

Goli Maar, also known as Indian Thriller, originated in India/Telegu from a 1985 Bollywood film "Donga" (or "Theif" in english) where a scene featuring the film's lead actor Chiranjeevi and some unnamed dancers do choreography and various other elements similar to Michael Jackson's "Thriller", thus the online alias.

Origin

The scene gained popularity when it was posted to eBaum's World on October 1st, 2006.^[1] Five days later, it would be reposted to YouTube by kingvinny360. The video (shown below) would receive over 10 million views in fifteen years.^[2]

Spread

The scene's rise to internet meme status is due a parody subbed video from Mike 'Bufflax' Sutton which has English mondegreens of the lyrics (reupload shown below).

Fans of the video have made their own versions (shown below, left), some of which use the "Buffalaxed" song lyrics (shown below, right).
