If you see mudflaps in the US, they would most likely be on a large truck and decorated with a silhouette of the “mudflap girl” or Yosemite Sam. In India, a mudflap is an opportunity to share one’s favorite film! Meena Kadri has been collecting photographs of decorated mudflaps on rickshaws and cycle carts in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India for five years. Her Flickr set contains 54 mudflap displays of actors and scenes from Bollywood films. Link -via Everlasting Blort

Hari Puttar: Bollywood’s Answer to Harry Potter and Home Alone

What happens when Bollywood combines Harry potter and Home Alone? Here’s Hari Puttar – A Comedy of Terrors, directed by Lucky Kohli.

The movie is about a ten year old Indian boy named Hari Prasad Dhoonda, nicknamed Hari Puttar (Puttar means "son" in Punjabi), who was left home when his parents go on vacation. Just like Home Alone, Hari soon has to face burglars who wanted to steal his father’s secret formula.

Given the similarity to its movies, Warner Bros. decided to sue but the case was thrown out by Indian courts on the grounds that the public would be able to tell the difference and Warner had waited too long to file their case.

We’ve featured this strange Bollywood Thriller (technically, Telugu cinema) before, but this version is worth the re-post: it’s subtitled based on how the lyrics sound like in English!
