The plot summary is virtually word-for-word the same plot summary at imdb.com. --EngineerScotty 20:09, 19 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Monkey pulling turnips?

edit

What was that tantric sexual position mentioned in the movie? I believe Asha gave Todd a picture of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.167.176.127 (talk) 10:43, 22 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

It is a made up position entitled "monkey pulls the turnip".--Strangerette 00:39, 12 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Synopsis!!!

edit

How can any sentence start with 'However!!!!'? Somebody please rephrase the paragraph! Elncid (talk) 12:31, 10 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Although "The Elements of Style" says that you should not start a sentence with "however," this is one case where the majority of grammarians disagree with it. In fact, many grammarians actually state that it is preferable to begin a sentence with "however" rather than burying it in the middle of a sentence. — al-Shimoni (talk) 09:59, 28 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

OutsourcedOutsourced (film)

OutsourcedOutsourced (film) — Given that there is a current primetime American network television show called Outsourced, I think more people are expecting to land there than are expecting to read about this four year-old film, even though the film is the basis for the TV series. For evidence, the TV series' page manages to receive more traffic than the film's page, even though the film holds the primary landing position[1]. I propose that "Outsourced" redirect to "Outsourced (TV series)", and that "Outsourced (TV series)" be given a hatnote linking to "Outsourced (film)". 98.246.191.164 (talk) 23:44, 7 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Outsourced should probably go to the Business practice Outsourcing. With If you were looking thing at the top The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 00:01, 8 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment: I don't think "Outsourced" should redirect to outsourcing. Articles don't need redirects from every part of speech, like past participles. There is no optimized or downsized, for example. This would also make it unnecessarily complicated to find the three media works that are actually titled "Outsourced." I think the most popular work titled "Outsourced" should be featured for "Outsourced" and the other works should get a hatnote. Two links aren't too much for a hatnote, and a disambiguation page for just three items is unnecessary. 98.246.191.164 (talk) 13:11, 8 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment - At this point, there seems to be a clear consensus for moving the film article to Outsourced (film). As to what thisw page should be, the fact that we're divided on where the page should point to indicates that there is no primary topic, in which case the MOS recommends a DAB page. Combined with the users who support a DAB page, the consesus is leaning towards this title becoming the DAB page. If this title is redirected somewhere, we'll still have to have a DAB page somewhere, either at Outsourced (disamgiguation) or Outsourcing (disamgiguation) in order to keep the hatnotes within reason. I'll let this run a few more days to see if any support is gained for one option over the other, but it seems likely that the Outsourced title will become the DAB page, with the film moving to Outsourced (film). - BilCat (talk) 12:31, 9 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Soundtrack

edit

Just came across the film and trying to find details of the soundtrack, especially the second to last song played as the credits rolled. Is the iTunes listing the correct one? LookingGlass

Funding/Financing

edit

Anyone know who or what organizations funded or otherwise backed this film? -Reticuli 71.65.115.103 (talk) 05:12, 3 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Some of the companies listed on the end credits are AlphaCine Seattle, ShadowCatcher Entertainment, Tamarind Grove and Xenon Pictures. No idea what specifics they had to do with the movie in their part, but those seem like the most likely "culprits". There is also a long list of "thanks" which might have some companies involved in there as well. 32.212.102.239 (talk) 03:58, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Trivia points, possibly worthy of being included in the main article

edit

Asif Basra's character, Purohit N. Virajnarianan, has the same name as an actor in the film's real name (last name, according to the credits). Jai Neeraj Raj Purohit plays "Man Catching Train". This is not the only time this happened in this movie. Aunti Ji is played by Sudha Shivpuri, and almost at the end of the movie, Aunti Ji introduces Todd to her friend, Sudha, who is played by, I believe, Vhitabhai, again judging by the credits. 32.212.102.239 (talk) 03:35, 31 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

"Auntie Ji's Guest House"

edit

Does it ever say in the movie if the "guest house" that Todd is staying in is a local business with rooms to rent, or if she is related to Puro? As an example, there are boarding houses in the US that have rooms for rent. Is this the case here? 32.212.102.239 (talk) 04:59, 13 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
