Indicast #15 - Multi-topic
It’s becoming a habit for us to release episodes with a “sorry for the delay” apology but this is the last time. A lot of things happened but nothing that we could talk about for 15 mins entirely with boring you people so what we have done is spent time on several topic. So here is Indicast’s episode # 15 for you.
And oh yeah, we have started a mailing list so that you can get email updates etc. So please check out the right hand side navbar and sign up if you can. And as usual, your comments will be appreciated.
Episode Notes:
- P Chidambaram gave us one of the most boring budgets ever but Laloo spiced it up the Rail budget a bit by trying to compete with low cost airlines. Lalooji, Hamara namaskar sweekar kije!!
- Bush’s whirlwind visit is being considered as a huge success for India. Everything is said to have gone India’s way and now its Bush’s turn to convince US congress to amend its laws.
- Bird flu was said to have hit India crippling the entire poultry industry. Abhishek cirps that the poultry Industry is a $6 billion industry and India is the 2nd largest egg exporter in the world. Don’t ask me where he gets these stats.
- Ganguly-Chappelle Saga continues but this time Chappelle gave a low blow to Ganguly.
- 51st Filmfare took place past weekend and Black took everything.
- We are looking for a movie reviewer so if you are interested, just drop in a mail at indicast at gmail dot com. BTW, Abhishek saw Taxi 9211 and recommends it to us. But it’s a “keep your brains at home” movie so don’t expect it to be a revelation or anything like that.
Yours Internetally,
Aditya

Hey guys! I definitely agree that Taxi 9211 is just something you can watch once and enjoy. Nana Patekar’s near-psychotic behavior definitely made me laugh, and I can’t say I didn’t enjoy John Abraham’s near-futile attempt at acting yet again. It’s an enjoyable 2.5 or 3 hours, but just not life changing like RDB. The story line is really random, and it’s a little far-fetched, but I do hope people go see it because it’s good entertainment!
Btw, I have nothing against John; I just wish he would choose his roles more carefully and try mastering one type instead of being jack of all trades and master of none. It seems like he tries to portray different characters, but somehow always ends up giving us the same stuff. How do you feel about him?
Sincerely,
Pratiti.

I just saw 9211 as well and I must say that I didnt really regret spending the 2 hours. But again as you said you can watch it just once. Why do all bollywood movies have to end where all the lead actors have a happy ending. Like the end where priyanka chpra comes in was a bit too much. John Abraham…. I really havent thought of him as an actor..i dont think he’ll ever get a filmfare for lead role. I guess… for the girls he is a good things to look at.
