On 18 August 2007, a music video for the song "Kalluri Vaanil" from the Indian-Tamil movie Pennin Manathai Thottu was uploaded to YouTube by Mike Sutton (YouTube user Buffalax).  The video was created as a soramimi, edited to include incorrect English subtitles that phonetically approximate the original Tamil lyrics.
Reactions to the "Kalluri Vaanil" soramimi were mixed. Some felt that the video was done in "good fun" while others worried that their culture was being mocked.  The music video was featured on The Colbert Report on 4 December 2008  and appeared on the Heavy Metal documentary Global Metal.
