Slog - Comments on Hari Puttar! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/hari_puttar BBC: A court in India has postponed the release of a film entitled Hari Puttar, after complaints from the makers of the blockbuster Harry Potter films. The Indian film tells the story of a 10-year-old boy who moves to England with his family and becomes involved in a plan to save the world. Here's the trailer: And the soundtrack apparently includes a song titled "Hari Puttar Is a Dude," sung by Sameer and Aishwariya. Lindy? Can we get a copy of this today?...

It's like Engrish, couldn't you run it by one native English speaker. You know, to kind of proofread.

Terrible comedy is so much funnier in a foreign language!

@6 a lot of times it doesn't matter how we would say it here. Indian English is like British English or Japanese English ("engrish"), in that it is another type of english and they are not striving to make it like ours.

I got it off Netflix and it was terrible, and not in a good way. I'd rather re-read Lindy's review for 2 hours than watch that again.
