Ooh! I likes this cast! Now if only someone (Vishal Bhardwaj!) would make this movie... :D

[toujours_nigel]

oh, a Bhardwaj Iliad. To die for.

A family/neighbouring village feud, UP-ishtyle. It would be brilliant!

(Wandered on to this post via dhobikikutti. :) Hello!)

Hullo!

It could work rather brilliantly, given how terrifying clan feuds can get regarding unsuitable marriages and elopements.

Zamindarni runs away with unsuitable younger son of a neighbouring village's zamindar.

Gather the men, dig out the old rifles, send someone to dig up that rather brilliant stripling who uses razors on other men's throats better than his own barely-there beard!

er, I'll stop getting carried away, now.

Oh, no, please keep going! :D
This looks like it could be a solid paisa-vasool story... and it's definitely more interesting to me than all the Greek dudes, heh.
