Yes, I really enjoy the fact that there's such a strong fusion of influences in the UK club scene--that modern bhangra/techno/house/trance/East Asian mix is a heady one! It's too bad that it hasn't caught on over here in N America. That closing mix of Chaiyya Chaiyya in 'Inside Man' is just one great example.

I've heard that Hindi films do a roaring trade in the UK because of the NRI crowds. Did you hear about the flap when Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham opened in the US? Apparently, it cracked the top 10 in box office returns in late 2001, but was left out of the year end list because the editors of Variety could not believe that an 'unknown' film had managed to do so, and assumed it was an error!

I'm looking forward to Omkara,adaptation of Othello, and the new Munnabhai movie.

Any films on your 'to watch' list?
