Yeah I have some mixed feelings. It's good that an Indian movie is breaking over to such significant consciousness in the US but a lot of the interest is like gawking. Like: 'OMG a tiger is jumping out of a truck with the hero, I'm laughing'

So as an Indian I feel like this shouldn't be generalized as the 'image' in people's minds of what an Indian movie is. The over the top parts should be considered as a genre of its own

We’ll do that as long as you do us a similar favor for Michael Bay and Roland Emmerich.

Don’t worry, I don’t think Americans started thinking that, in movies, all Chinese people should fly after watching Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon.
