We'll have to make you an honorary post-combat-soldier-cum-Himalayan-trekker!

For the uninitiated -

Quote:
"Ima Shelha Bamizvada Shelly"
means:
"Your mother is in my suitcase"

Quote:
"Laila Tove"
means:
G'night!

3-hr Bollywood flick with a local bilingual youngster to translate. Not that explanations are actually needed for the usual "Bapuji wants me to marry the wealthy older relative but I really want to marry the younger guy who sings and has a full head of hair and the end my parents will throw tradition to the wind and let me shack up with him" fare.
