Thanks odadune
For the juice-grinder, I found a french pun. I suppose it is written "Moulin électrique" on the paper (that means "electric grinder", but bad written, it could be read "marlin électrique". "Marlin" means spearfish (sort of swordfish, I assume).
Anyway, it's just anecdotal. The important is to find what GMD really means. And odadune, you seem to be on the good trail.

Hi As I loved Special Chabbis, I am translating it into french. But I find difficulties with two lines (for the moment! ) At about 00:18:02, Mr. Sharma (policeman or CBI military) says: "Take Ranveer Singh's signature on the GMD.." There's so many acronyms for this, I can't choose the right one. Could you help? Or just tell me the meaning of the sentence? At about 00:26:18, Mr. Sharma (yes, him again!) asks Ajay if he could buy presents for his daughter's marriage. (Reading:) "Oh yes,a... What is a Chuser-grinder", and adds :"l don't get it." I guess he reads a bad writing, and I assume it is "crusher-grinder", isn't it? (Only 1 400 lines left to translate! )

Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna - finally got round to watching this. Wanted to slap Dev most of the time, lol, until he began to have a change of attitude. Somehow I completely missed Kajol's appearance in the movie, I must have looked away from the screen during one of the songs, so must revisit at some stage. I appreciated more the 2nd time I saw this movie. Madras Cafe (2013): the political subject (tamil revolution) needed a better treatment. Alas: horrible direction (camera always moving, sequences of 1 second), horrible actors (John Abraham just a bit above), horrible permanent music, no, I mean background noise. Avoid! 1/10

Kismat Konnection (2008) . Priya (Vidya Balan) is the lucky charm for Raj (Shahid Kapoor). Not so bad. Shahid is funny and dances so well! 13/20

Jism (2003) : 5/20. John Abraham's ex-girl friend plays more like a wimp than a vamp! Avoid this movie.

Well, at last most of the translation work is done ! There are two songs for which I haven't got any translation, so I used my hindi dictionnaries, but I am not sure of the accuracy. Here what I tried : Allaah Megh De, Paani De Chhaayaa De Re Raamaa Megh De allaah megh de, paani de, chhaayaa de re raamaa megh de Lord give us clouds, give us water, guide us shadeshyaamaa megh de O Light, give us cloudsallaah megh de, paani de, chhaayaa de re raamaa megh de Lord give us clouds, give us water, guide us shadeaankhe phaade duniyaa dekhe, hay ye tamaashaa Our eyes look at this world torn apartaankhe phaade This miserable spectacleaankhe phaade duniyaa dekhe, hay ye tamaashaa Our eyes look at this world torn aparthai ye vish{}vaas teraa, hai teri aashaa I have faith in you, I keep hope

For this song, that is a litany, I just enumerated the gods' names... Hail Ram, hail Radha, hail Shyam...
and so on...
I would be honored to have my translations proofread !

Seeta Aur Geeta (1972) : was it usefull to make a feminine remake of the great Ram Aur Shyam (1967) ? I wonder... Sorry, but Dilip Kumar in Ram Aur Shyam was so incredible that he immortalized this story of separated twins. Hema Malini was not bad, but obviously suffers from the comparison. 12/20

Bommarillu (2006) : I was expecting some lovestory like KKHH, but was really disappointed. I don't like the young boy (Siddu, played by Siddharth), selfish, quick-temepered and stupid : so I can't love the movie ! Luckily, Genelia D'Souza is brilliant, so fresh and funny : adorable ! She saves what can be saved. And I still don't like the telugu way of speaking. 8/20

Hello everybody, how do you do ? And what do you sing today ? Since February the 2nd, I'm trying to translate the beautiful movie, Guide, from english to french. I'm nearly done (1720 lines upon 1876 for the moment), alas I miss a lot of lyrics. Evne though I tried to find them followink the links here, I still can't find them. I just can find hindi lyrics there. Could you please help me, and show me where I could at last find the translations for : Allaah Megh De, Paani De Chhaayaa De Re Raamaa Megh De Gata Rahe Mera Dil Tu Hi Meri Manzil He Ram Hamare Ramchandra Kanto Se Khich Ke Ye Aanchal, Aaj Phir Jeene Ki Tamanna Hai Kya Se Kya Ho Gaya, Bewafa Tere Pyar Me Mose Chhal Kiye Jaye Hay Re Hay Hay Dekho Saiyya Beiman Piya Tose Naina Lage Re, Naina Lage Re Thanks by advance, Patapin
