Bollywood's goodbye to George W. Bush? A film that makes fun of him
Bollywood has a going away present for President George W. Bush as he prepares to leave the White House: a gag movie that makes him the butt of every joke.
"Bush is more of a sort of metaphor for the things that America represents – good or bad – but he's also used as a bit of a punching bag because he's an easy target," said the film's director.

While the film was being shot in 2008, Indians were enjoying the $131 million dollars Mr. Bush authorized in foreign aid to India the year before. I wonder if any of that money found its way into the film's budget.
