It's good to see the web being used to connect directly with the audience.
Do watch the Loins of Punjab Music Video.

Loins of Punjab on YouTube
I was was searching YouTube for a clip of Khoon Karaba (from Loins of Punjab) and I was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the movie trailers on YouTube have been put up by Manish Acharya himself (actually it could've been anyone from the production company with an account in his name, but what the heck!). Here's Manish Acharya's account page.

Movielicious Weekend
Watched three movies last weekend. The perks of living bang next to a multiplex... heh :-) I saw "Loins of Punjab" and "Manorama - Six Feet Under" back-to-back. And I mean back-to-back. 1:30 to 3:15 was Loins of Punjab and 3:15 to 5:30 was Manorama.
Both the movies simply rocked!
Watched Dhol the next day. Or couldn't watch it for that matter - left it midway at the interval.
Loins of Punjab is a laugh riot. It's about a "Desi Idol" contest which apparently is _not_ a rip-off of hundreds of music contests out there today. The only catch being that it's open for all the South-East Asian in America. Amazing bunch of characters the script writer has cooked up. I just loved the hip-hop/bhangra surd duo and their "Khoon-karaba" number. Loins of Punjab is a must-must watch.
Manorama-Six Feet Under is also an amazing movie. Short and sweet. Very different script. Lovely cinematography. The director has paid attention to small details like the kind of clothes the actors are wearing. The decor inside the houses. The kind of vehicles people are traveling in. Everything. Abhay Deol is a surprisingly good actor. I liked him in "Ek Chaalis Ki Last Local" as well. Ditto for Gul Panag in Manorama and Dor. This too, is a must watch.
Dhol was a piece of shit. No other way to describe it. I mean, how many times can someone make the same thing over and over again. This time the gags didn't even elicit a tiny giggle. Had to leave it during the interval. Couldn't sit through the entire ordeal.
And the sad part was that Dhol was almost house full, whereas, Loins of Punjab and Manorama were almost house empty. Sad. Really sad.
Shit floats AND sells.
