Folks, Abhishek Bachchan’s Dum Maaro Dum has received a poor response from the U.S. audience.

The response was pitiful for the opening show at a theater on the East Coast with 98% of the seats remaining empty.

Yes, we ( i.e SI) were the only members of the audience.

Did we tell y’all that today is a holiday here (because of Good Friday) and yet there were no takers for Dum Maaro Dum.

Anybody surprised?

After all, the movie has already received poor reviews from a bunch of critics.

If there’s one thing that critics can be sure of with an Abhishek Bachchan movie lately, it’s that they’re garbage.

The Bollywood buffoon’s latest crap-show Dum Maro Dum released today and movie critics are already panning it.

Here’s a sample of reviews for Dum Maro Dum:

IndiaFM:

DUM MAARO DUM lacks dum….the content fails to hold your attention after a point [towards the second hour specifically]. The writing gets muddled in the post-interval portions,….There are portions that put you off….that remain unexplained [... Besides, the pre-climax as well as the penultimate moments are a major letdown. The drama in the concluding reels, in fact, is prolonged for no reason.....That's not all, even the elimination of the all-powerful drug kingpin by an inconsequential character seems ridiculous. Also, the suspense just doesn't work and nor does it create the desired impact [the twist in the end is quite an anti-climax].

NDTV:

This is one film that should soar but sadly it never quite takes flight. The problem is the writing…..the narrative slumps in places, the plot has loopholes and the characters just aren’t convincing enough to grab you. Continue reading »

This looks like one of those Only in America stories.

But one that Mohandas Gandhi would have approved of and eagerly embraced (more on that later).

We all know how crazy Americans are about their coupons.

They use it at restaurants and grocery stores, to buy dog and cat food, for manicures, pedicures, movie tickets, facials, Botox injections, facials, carpet cleaning, bowling, ice creams, yoga and dance classes, teeth whitening, car parking and oil change, waxing and even for hair removal (yes, all hair).

So, it’s no surprise that Groupon, LivingSocial, Scoutmob and others of their ilk have now taken America by storm.

Whether the American obsession for coupons represents consumerism run amok or a desperate, legitimate run for a bargain every time, who’s to say!

But even we, who think we’ve seen everything in life, were surprised to get an e-mail from LivingSocial yesterday pitching a $37 coupon (51% saving over the regular $75 fee) for Colon Hydrotherapy.

It is the duty of every thoughtful Indian not to marry. In case he is helpless in regard to marriage, he should abstain from sexual intercourse with his wife.

No question about it. The 2005 Bollywood movie Dosti – Friends Forever (Akshay Kumar, Bobby Deol, Kareena Kapoor, Lara Dutta) was a mediocre piece of shit. Hellooo, anyone surprised?

But for reasons that we can’t fathom the Dulhania, Dulhania song from the film struck a chord with us.

We’ve lost track of the number of times we’ve listened to and watched this number on YouTube.

In our darkest moments, when we close our eyes the Dulhania, Dulhania tune floats in our mind.

In a sense, Dulhania, Dulhania is the quintessential Bollywood song-dance number with colorful costumes, pretty belles, the men dancing like monkeys, the large group in the background and, above all, a catchy tune. The Indian joie de vivre, albeit the fake Bollywood version.

Listen/Watch this video and see if the Dulhania, Dulhania song finds as much favor with you as it did with us:

After a godawful meal at Indian Sizzler on Main St in Newark (DE), we quietly beseeched the ever merciful Allah to roast the Bangladeshi jokers involved with this trashy Indian impostor in the fiery Tandoors of hell.

Folks, Indian Sizzler’s sole raison d’etre is to inflict hideous torture and grievous pain on your tender souls, your palate and, of course, on your wallet. :(

Run by Bangladeshis, who previously managed a TCBY (an Yogurt chain) at the same location, Indian Sizzler is NOT an Indian restaurant notwithstanding its name.

At least, not an Indian restaurant that gave any joy to our Indian palate.

Indian Sizzler is a spice-neutered impostor, as fake as the Elvis impersonators with their long sideburns at the fairs.

Unlike these Bangladeshis, we’re Indians, grew up eating Indian food, know Indian food and passionately love the nonpareil Indian food.

What these Indian Sizzler bozos serve in the name of Indian food is nothing short of a shameful travesty and a cruel trick on unsuspecting diners.

Indian Sizzler Newark – Indian Food at its Worst

Rude Welcome at Indian Sizzler

As we walked into Indian Sizzler the other day, a middle-aged man (the owner??) came over and brusquely asked how many people and upon our response pointed to a corner and said, OK, you go shit (sic) there.

Unappetizing Appetizers

Both Vegetable Pakoras and Alu Tiki turned out to be disappointments.

Pakoras were cold and tasteless while Alu Tiki tasted yuck and came in the weird shape of a tiny ball instead of its usual patty form.

Horrid Vegetable Biryani

In several decades of eating Vegetable Biryani, we haven’t encountered one that was as pathetic as the Indian Sizzler version of this popular Indian dish.

Dry, without any of the enticing aroma or succulent flavor of Vegetable Biryani, this was no more than plain rice mixed with vegetables cooked with a little bit of chili powder.

Worse, it had peanuts as if it were Lemon Rice or Tamarind Rice.

Begun Borta (Baingan Barta) in a medium-thick gravy was a tasteless impostor that no self-respecting Indian restaurateur would place before paying diners. Continue reading »
