 The Rising: Ballad of Mangal Pandey (2005)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Mangal is depicted as an ordinary soldier who is offended by the introduction of the new Enfield rifle cartridges which were greased with pig and cow fat (the former anathema to Muslims and the latter sacred to Hindus).
The movie brings opium cultivation, corruption within the Company, the growing distance between English and Indians, as well as backward, traditional Indian attitudes into sharp focus.
Historically, the film may be inaccurate in the sense that Mangal Pandey may not have been the nationalist as portrayed, the relationships with the English officer and the prostitute are probably fictitious.

 Indian T3 Limited Edition Model - News & Updates - Motorcycle Cruiser
The Indian T3 Limited Edition might also be regarded as celebrating the rise of Indian's machines as well as the brand's participation in what is expected to be a blockbuster movie.
An Indian spokesman told us the stylish swan-style pipes are "additional accessories" that "are provided to the end user." It is expected that many of the machines won't be ridden, just kept as collectibles, in which case they won't contribute to the rider's hearing loss or the public's annoyance about motorcycle noise.
Indian Chief trademarks like the deeply valenced fenders, scripted Indian logo, covered 41mm fork legs, full floorboards, big spotlights flanking the uniquely shaped headlight, and the lighted Indian-head logo leading the way on the front fender are part of the T3.

Why, the reporter wonders, if Indians are so successful in being clerks for the Americans, is India so impoverished, over video footage of what looks like slums along the Mumbai local train tracks, and answers his own question by stating it is because it is diverse and is a democracy.
At the risk of sounding like a stuck record, all this media hype about Indian outsourcing — whether it be from the alarmists in the US, like the folks at ABC or the chest-thumpers in India — is much ado about nothing.
I am still surprised by the young Indians’ frequent use of the word, “reckon,” which is simply not a part of common American vocabulary.

 Rick Schroder taps cultural resource for 'Black Cloud'
That movie showed them making love, laughing and raising kids, and it showed them as human beings in the first way that I had ever experienced that.
The National Indian Gaming Association, a trade group representing 184 tribes nationwide, quietly has been embarking on an agenda of its own, encouraging members to invest some of those funds in the arts as a way to advance the language, culture and traditions of Indian people.
The result is a "Rocky"-like story set on an Indian reservation, written, produced and directed by Schroder, 34, who also appears on screen as the villain of the piece.

 Rising falls at USBO
Despite the hype and over a dozen theaters holding round-the-clock shows for most of Saturday and Sunday, The Rising could not raise a big battle cry in the overseas market which is crucial for this big budget movie.
But if The Rising follows the pattern of Black, which dropped by a small percentage each week and held well for six weeks, it could overtake Paheli.
Fall of "The Rising" in such places is quite expected.

While Western audiences are often flummoxed when lead actors in Indian movies launch into a coordinated series of gyrations with no link to the plot, Khan compares dance scenes in Indian films with musicals made in the West in the 1940s and '50s.

 "Bollywood Mania" Rising in United States
The increasing popularity of Indian cinema, often called “Bollywood Mania” by the press, is driving Indian filmmaking to new heights in terms of quality, cinematography and innovative story lines, critics say.
For the Indian crowd, the music and songs are a major draw to the movie.

 Movie Review : Mangal Pandey - The Rising
Mangal Pandey [Aamir Khan] is an Indian sepoy serving Britain's East India Company.
Mangal rescues his commanding officer William Gordon [Toby Stephens] on the battlefields of Afghanistan and the two men develop a friendship.
Since the film deals with history and British rulers specifically, the usage of English language is imperative, but Om Puri's voiceover in those scenes makes it easier for the average Indian moviegoer to decipher and fathom what's being spoken on screen.

Played by Aamir Khan, resplendent in his pointed mooch and wavy hair, Mangal Pandey is a reluctant but risible krantikaari, whose action of taking on the British by the skin of his teeth in the summer of 1857 presaged freedom in the autumn of 1947.
