Starring: Vinay Pathak, Rajat Kapoor, Milind Soman, Ranvir Shorey ...
Perhaps the only thing to gush about in Bheja Fry is Vinay Pathak in the main role of Bharat Bhushan, the quirky income tax officer with a penchant for Hindi film songs and a way with turning the entire world upside down. Pathak puts forward a fantastically unusual character-sketch for an Indian film, right down to the flawless get-upthe safari suit, the oiled hair, the briefcase with the number lock and the scrapbook neatly folded in a tacky plastic bag. He plays a weirdo with poker-faced perfection. The filmmaker has admitted that Bheja Fry is based on a French film, Le Diner de Cons. Though one hasnt seen the original, its obvious that Bellary has added Indianisms and film references to the original farce. Rajiv Thadani (Kapoor) is a rich man with a strange fetishto invite dimwits for Friday night dinners and then laugh at their strange talent.
Aquarium's former great white shark sends signal from Cabo
The great white shark that spent four months in captivity in Monterey Bay Aquarium was in warmer climes last weekend: Cabo San Lucas. The electronic tag that had been attached to the shark before its release Jan. 16 floated to the surface in waters near the southern tip of Baja California, aquarium officials announced Monday. The tag was designed to pop free after 90 days, so it is assumed the young male is hale and hearty. Now, while the shark continues on his way, researchers will use a satellite to pick up signals being transmitted from the tag before the battery dies. Ideally, they'll also be able to find the microphone-size tag. "It's a big ocean and it's a small tag, about the size of a handheld microphone," said Ken Peterson, the aquarium's communication director.
