For the unformation of people who aren't in India or Mumbai:

The dance bars are no more.
The Chopra guy claims that Suketu Mehta spiced up his life.
Sanjay Nirupam, the Shiv Sena politican named above is now with the Congress Party.

I loved the book. It will remain the best guide to the character of the city during the 1990s. Probably the decade when the city called Bombay peaked.

Looks like there has been a falling out between Vidhu Vinod Chopra(Writer/Director of MK) and Suketu Mehta after Maximum City.

Bongsy- I’ll give you that the ending fight scene was bollocks. But keep in mind I’m a straight woman, and a dancer– so most Hrithik movies are given special exemption from standards like story and stuff… so long as I get a good dance and don’t have to look at the scary thumb

Punjabi Boy, our blog, our blog is calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying 'tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.

But come you back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'tis I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow Punjabi Boy, Punjabi Boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying And I am dead, as dead I well may be You'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me I simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

I thought it was toilet. And the frikking ‘special effects’ did my head in. The director must’ve just watched the Matrix and figured “YEAH! I’ll rip them off wholesale! But I’ll do it on the cheap cos I’m so smart!”

It’s surprisingly decent. A few plot-holes, but overall it’s quite fair. Worth seeing, but not worth buying…
