Life of Pi movie trailer

August 1, 2012 by Yein Jee

Trailer for Hollywood film Life of Pi – latest work by Academy Award winning Taiwanese-American director Ang Lee – which is based on the novel of the same name by French-Canadian author Yann Martel. The 3D movie is opening on November 21.

Official synopsis from Fox Movies… “Life of Pi is about a young man who survives a tragic disaster at sea and is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. While marooned on a lifeboat, he forms an amazing and unexpected connection with the ship’s only other survivor… a fearsome Bengal tiger.”

Not interested with the plot to be honest, but the visual effects look stunning. Suraj Sharma plays the main lead… the fact that a 19-year-old Indian teenager is making his acting debut in a huge Hollywood production is an amazing story itself.

Akon, Chammak Challo, Ra.One

September 6, 2011 by Yein Jee

Chammak Challo, a Hindi song by Senegalese-American singer Akon (not in video) for Bollywood film Ra.One, a science-fiction-superhero-action-flick starring Shahrukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor (who sings the female part if not mistaken)…

Group dance – essential in most Bollywood movies – is not spared even if it’s scifi.

Daler Mehndi – Tunak Tunak Tun music video

June 18, 2009 by Yein Jee

Punjabi music video of “Tunak Tunak Tun” by Indian pop singer Daler Mehndi; one of the funniest MV I’ve seen…

The song was released in 1998 and enjoys its international fame thanks to the Youtube phenomenon [credits to tarv for the upload]

Fun music, interesting beat and wacky dance moves… the music video oozed awesomeness lol. It’s almost unbelievable that Tunak is actually a love song :p

Warner Bros sue Bollywood’s Hari Puttar

August 27, 2008 by Yein Jee

US’ Warner Bros have filed a lawsuit against Mumbai-based Mirchi Movies related to the title of its upcoming film Hari Puttar – A Comedy of Terrors, which Warner feels is a bit too similar to its Harry Potter franchise [more on THR].

Indian movie Hari Puttar

Hari is a popular Indian name while Puttar means son in the Punjabi language. It’s said that the storyline doesn’t relate to Harry Potter at all… and judging from the poster alone, I would have ruled that Mirchi is the winner for the lawsuit.

However, I can’t deny the probability that the Indian movie maker is being opportunistic for publicity, which they managed to get it now regardless of whether it was intentional at the first place.
