Lol, the subtitles was using 'limes' - at least they're both citrus fruit

Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam - the location scenes for the 'Italy' part were so obviously not filmed in Italy why didn't they change the script to have Sameer coming from Hungary? Apart from that, quite enjoyable. I think Indian films might be the only place where you'll find songs about limes!

Madras Cafe - it was gripping and a good vehicle for John Abraham.

Being a doll collector I was delighted to see the Katrina Kaif doll in the 3rd story. It is a real doll marketed by Mattel in India and is very hard to get outside of India. Would love to get one, one day but most sellers on Indian ebay do not post overseas.

...when you are driving through a small country town called Kaniva and you start singing 'the Lungi Dance' to yourself substituting Kaniva for Thalaivaa. My brain works in a funny way sometimes.

Madras Café - a more serious John Abraham starrer about India's involvement in Sri Lanka's Tamil - Singhalese conflict. After the break the movie deals with the tamil tiger's plot to assasinate Rajiv Ghandhi. (Curiously, RG's name is never mentioned in the film at all; He's called "the former P.M." throughout the movie.) It just so happens that I'm in the middle of reading Ramachandra Guha's "India after Ghandi", a 900 page book dealing with India's recent history (1947 - present time); and yesterday happened to read the chapter about the tamil tigers and the assasination of Rajiv Ghandhi. And then I pop in this blind bought blu-ray (part of a haul comprising Chennai Express, Maqbool, Besharam and Satyagraha) and blessed myself that I did not watch the film last week - when I just had started reading Guha's history book. Having some extra background knowledge about the tamil conflict made the movie more enjoyable to me. Subtitles weren't available for this either on Spuul - I'm not having much luck

Not sure where to put this topic so it's here for the time being -
Do you have a Wishlist of things to see - online or wherever?
A couple of movies that were not screened in Adelaide that I hope Einthusan, Spuul or whoever streams are Shahid and Ship of Theseus.
and I still have a few DVDs that I bought but haven't watched yet - Umrao Jaan (Rekha version), Mangal Pandey, Race, Black & White and Dor.
ShantiSal
