There would also have to be a pet cow named "Lassi" somewhere in the film.

You know, kind of like a star cameo thingie.

Somehow, a dog named "Lassie" just doesn't quite cut it.

and as for "tandoori bandits"--been done--there was a movie out this winter called "funtoosh dudes in the 10th century" (or was it the 14th?).

Oh, mongo, you mean to tell me you've never heard of that early 1980's cult sci-fi classic "Time Bandits"? My suggestion was a play on the title of the movie itself.

heheheh, a product of my childhood....

Time Bandits

Don't say I didn't warn you. heheheh

oh i know about "time bandits"--i know more about the pythons, collectively and individually, than i should--i was commenting only that the idea of a bombay time-travel movie has also already been (very badly) done.

ANd...one last thing........how can you people forget that AMRISH PURI is THE DAD of all dads. HE has got to be one of the dads....... Any scene where you want everyone to get nervous, and be subjected to some scary evil looks..has to have him in it with one of his vicious stares......and anupam kher the other gentler one. OK?

amrish puri would be good, but i think we might want to cast people who actually look like they eat. how about shammi kapoor and anupam kher? especially since we need the bad father to seem good for some time.

and of course the villain will need a good catchphrase. how about if he literally fries his enemies and says something "wah desi ghee, tera jawab nahin!". okay, that was pretty lame--and inconsistent since he's supposed to be a multinational crook transferring indian traditional knowledge to evil corporations. how about instead, "basmati toh theek hai, lekin texmati toh chic hai"? this after killing people with his ostentatiously american made guns--and he could wear a 10 gallon hat too. yes, shammi kapoor would be perfect for this.
