Avengers Premiere In India Gets Bollywood Treatment

When The Avengers opens in the United States, as well as most other countries, the movie’s main end credit song will be Live To Rise by Soundgarden who reunited for the first time in fifteen years in collaboration for this song. Soundgarden also has plans to release an album, their first in almost twenty years, later this year. See, comics fans? The 90s is back and as inescapable as Rob Liefeld’s short long term plans for Deathstroke.

However, if you happen to be in Mumbai on April 26, you can attend an early screening of The Avengers, complete with a live performance of the song that will play over the Indian movie version’s credits, Hello Andheron (Hello Darkness), performed by the band Agnee.

Wonder what The Avengers would be like through the lens of a Hindi music video? Check out Agnee and Hello Andheron, after the jump!

Here’s the video, directed by Abbas Tyrewala (who, according to TheMarySue.com, is a Bollywood producer):

I don’t know a heck of a lot about the Hindi rock scene, but that video makes me inclined to go track down more of Agnee’s work (or dig out my old Evanescence mp3s. It also makes me want to find an excuse (and the money) to fly into Mumbai to try to catch the premiere. Alas, I am penniless…and an ugly American who should not be allowed around others. Or so international traveling companions tell me. As far as you know.

The Avengers drops in Mumbai on April 26, 2012 and in US theaters (and the rest of India) on May 4, 2012.
