D: How about:

Cant say that when you are Pakistani...

Arsh I wann add one point of my own :-

You all missed out on all the subsidies and tax write-offs that are available in Canada and some other countries. If utilized properly, Film doesn't even have to see the light of the day to make money for its investors.

Rana

Thou shalt make the script incredibly idiotic.

Thou shalt shun originality.

Thou shalt insult the intelligence of intelligent audiences.

Thou shalt have a mediocre soundtrack.

Thou shalt make the film as a calculated business investment, not as a creative exercise.

Thou shalt have ridiculous product placements.

Ah, you're forgetting one of the main staples:

Thou shalt always have a scene in which the main character attributes any of his positive qualities to his Indian heritage, and all of his negative ones to his country of residence.

-- Classic ex.: SRK in DDLJ, saying he would never take advantage of Kajal because at heart, he's "Hindustani." (And knows how much izzat means to a Hindustani ladki! To kya, angrezi ladkiyon ko dhokha dena uchit hai? vaah, kya hero!)

Sinran pardon moi ignorance...but is that some kinda personal experience

????what???? No, it's a quote from the film, DDLJ! Alas I have never been in bed with Shahrukh Khan!

Oops, clarification: the scene I'm quoting from takes place when kajol and Srk are in bed together.

Wait for Kaante... that will knock the pants of the ten commandments!!

it`ll be about violence, armani suits and slick arse story line... Well me is hoping

You know what Faddy you need to be spanked for this sacrilege ! Now tell me how would you like the spankings.... :p (Maybe I can make that as the 11th Commandment )
