Here's an Indian film that requires no translation whatsoever. Part of Indian Cinema Month, timed to the launch of Bollywood Cinema Club, Singeetam Srinivasa Rao's Pushpaka Vimana is a dialogue-free black comedy. Kamal Haasan stars once again, this time as a down-on-his-luck unemployed graduate (shades of Moondram Pirai) who takes the place of a wealthy man staying at a luxury hotel. It leads to a series of unfortunate events in the vein of After Hours and other "man about town" films, with the hero bumbling from one wild mishap to another, though the film doesn't do nearly as much with its niche premise as it could.

DC Titan's Richard Hatem joins Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk Singeetam Srinivasa Rao, Kamal Haasan, silent comedy, and so much more.
