This should be a fun one! A nice light comedy about a middle aged couple trying to buy a car.
Do Dooni Char! Rishi and Neetu’s last great co-starring performance (we aren’t counting Besharam, obviously). I haven’t seen it myself, but I’ve heard really really good things, and I’m excited! Oh, and it’s available basically everywhere, Netflix to youtube.

This is such an important look at middle class life – similar to how American lower middle class lives now. We are more alike than we think as cultures. Except Americans don’t generally want to work hard. Discuss!

I don’t know about Americans, but in South America the situation is similar. Ppl have to work two jobs and sometimes it’s not enough…most of the time is barely enough to live each month…no chance to get sick 😦

I suspect a theme that is going to come up more and more is education versus economics, he’s a teacher, clearly has a higher degree, but is hoping for his kids to get a degree in a different field and have an easier life. America is heading that way, but I think not so extreme yet?
