And it took me a little while to figure out what they meant by it. I don't think I remember it from Yuva though, but it's been a while since I've seen that.Majahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612706096369112723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1158819618580224072006-09-21T01:20:00.000-05:002006-09-21T01:20:00.000-05:00Most terms/phrases used in 'Indian English' are fr...Most terms/phrases used in 'Indian English' are from 'British English'.

I don't think it glorifies what they did, but I think it lets people infer that that is somehow heroic. But again, of course I'm relying on subtitles, and I'm so far from being the target audience of that movie that I hesitate to say anything about its message at all becuase I'm so unsure that I got the bulk of the message thoroughly. <BR/><BR/>Sharon - I'm having exactly the same reaction to Abhishek. I was thinking about it on the way in to work this morning. He's just incredible in this movie. I thought everyone did a great job (even Vivek, of whom I am none too fond) - but <I>wow</I>.Beth Loves Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540154833326987567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1158736775617910742006-09-20T02:19:00.000-05:002006-09-20T02:19:00.000-05:00i think that i might like yuva better then rdb too...i think that i might like yuva better then rdb too, i never though about it before, but now that you mentioned it..<BR/><BR/>btw now you really have to watch Aayutha Ezhuthu (the tamil verson of the film) as well. and face the same "which-oneĀ“s-better" dilemma that i did<BR/><BR/>ad the very very cool coffee line. did i tell you vienna has the first (and so far only) coffee day outside of india?<BR/><BR/>btw: i guess you might have heard the term rusticated in munnabhai mbbs once or twice (if you saw it, that is)..babaskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409089227879159676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1158729582380351252006-09-20T00:19:00.000-05:002006-09-20T00:19:00.000-05:00The word is mentioned in Webster's too transitive ...The word is mentioned in Webster's too <BR/><BR/>transitive verb<BR/>1 chiefly British : to suspend from school or college<BR/><BR/>The director of Yuva, Mani Ratnam has a reputation for making interesting films. <BR/>ggggophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152025930955161430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1158729374415253872006-09-20T00:16:00.000-05:002006-09-20T00:16:00.000-05:00"rustication" and "suspension" are two terms which..."rustication" and "suspension" are two terms which I was always afraid of in school (back in India).

But Bachchan Jr is an ACTOR - which is just so much cooler, don't you think? :DSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808111702392286348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15977843.post-1158725272096349552006-09-19T23:07:00.000-05:002006-09-19T23:07:00.000-05:00'Rusticated' is a term often used in Indian colleg...'Rusticated' is a term often used in Indian colleges :-) Whenever a student has been deemed to have committed a diciplinary offense, he is either threatened with rustication from college or outright rusticated. It is similar to suspension from college.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
