Nimish,

FYI.
There is one gentleman by the name of R Sridhar, who for many years now has been writing very insightful stuff on Branding / Advertising. He has got a nice blog called "Third Umpire on Branding". Check it http://ramanujam-sridhar.blogspot.com/

hi nimish
it would be really nice if you could slightly change it to Badmaash Banna. As that is the name of this film which i have written with Indranil Goswami. Badmaash Anna just makes me a Badmaash South Indian, hahahahaha, take care.
