So here’s what I’ll do at every once in a while. Post some clues (probably related to a Bollywood movie I just watched) and people should comment with their guesses! Its fun, I swear!

Whats the name of the movie?

1. A main refrain in a song involves a play on the name of a certain disease that many of diasporic desis need to take pills for before and during our visits to our respective homeland(s).

2. The song was started off by a bearded guy who made a drum appear magically in his hand. He’s the same acclaimed actor that has played, more recently, in a role as a working-class taxi-driver opposite Crorepati John Abraham’s character and in another film as a Bombay police officer whose job it is to kill as many gangsters as possible - both of these films have numbers in their titles.

3. Shortly after that song, there’s a scene involving a car salesman whose name is LOVEchand Kukreja, and at the end of the scene, the male protagonist proclaims his love for the female protagonist by promising her, the salesman, and everyone watching at home that he will buy a car for her when he has the money.

There it is. I’ll try to post hints if nobody seems to be getting it. And you may use whatever is at your disposal to figure it out (may I suggest tonight’s movie lineup on the desi satellite network, i.e. Zee TV, Sony TV, etc.?).

Good luck!
