Which film will you recommend for your favourite personality?
MOst of them can be used as casts and characters in a new version of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels ( the 1988 with Michael Caine, Steve Martin and Glenne Headley).
Group of Ministers ‘Alibaba and Chalis (or whatever number) Chor’ and the people of India ‘Kurigalu sar kurigalu’ or ‘…….idiots’!
ERR at his best.
Very Intersting
Mahesh! what are you saying?! The characters of Dirty
Rotten Scounderels were at any rate endearing. The same CANNOT be
said of any of the above except maybe V.V.S…
The people of Karnataka should watch Upendra’s Super.
Surely it should be
Rahul Gandhi: Brokeback Mountain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brokeback_Mountain
@G: It should be Rahul Gandhi: Dunno Y … Na Jaane Kyun. Our man is Indian after all. :)
