In all fairness he is one actor who won the national award for playing a tribal in Mrigya, went on to movies like Disco Dancer. <BR/><BR/>If you have picked up few hindi words, check out the Mithun category in GreatBong's website (http://greatbong.net)<BR/><BR/>ggggophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152025930955161430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1155330190545612542006-08-11T16:03:00.000-05:002006-08-11T16:03:00.000-05:00I live in PA but it takes me 15 min to cross the b...I live in PA but it takes me 15 min to cross the border into India ... er ...

So I really need to start trying to learn Hindi. Where did you see Omkara? How did it go over in the theater you were in?Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1155329187917850532006-08-11T15:46:00.000-05:002006-08-11T15:46:00.000-05:00Oh yeah.

Luckily the movie shown on the screen had subtitles and for once was I glad! On that note ever read the subtitles for any of the songs...most often they are hilarious!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1155328755149335692006-08-11T15:39:00.000-05:002006-08-11T15:39:00.000-05:00Oooh, you should email me and we cna discuss!

Being totally immersed in the NRI diaspora and ending up watching almost all movies available at the local desi dukan I really enjoyed reading your blog. Before you get KANKy, I'd love to read your opinion of OMKARA. Most of the people who have seen it have like it. I did too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
