The new video promoting Romanian Naval Forces, where the students of the Navy Academy are featured while singing rock, Latino and Indian music or playing tango, has raised over 40,000 views on the social media channels. However, net surfers have slammed the video, saying it looks like a Bollywood film.
The students are staging a choreography containing dances inspired by the „Zorba the Greek” or „Mission: Impossible” movies, tango, Queen’s „We will rock you”.
The end of the video is the one that stirred the internauts’ criticism, as the students are dancing on Indian music, just like in the Bollywood movies.
The text accompanying the video says that the images have been captured and edited „in a professional way” by the Media Center and the TV and Film Center of the National Defence Ministry.
„Change the PR,” one comment says. „Tighter then at the Bollywood”, another one comments.
„What is that? Is it a parody a hurdy-gurdy or what? I don’t get it,” another user posts.
„It’s stupid, whoever sees that will think that the navy is peachy, but we are in trouble. We have more admirals than operative ships. Wasted money on this video,” reads another comment.
