At the end of his career, Fritz Lang returned to Germany and a producer who gave him a big budget to remake a silent classic in color, with an international cast and locations in remote India, including a palace never seen in a movie before. The two-movie, 200-minute epic was chopped in half for America and dubbed in English. Seen in its full Eastmancolor glory, The Tiger of Eschnapur and The Indian Tomb form an old-fashioned storybook tale, with its special charm lying in our knowledge of Fritz Lang’s fixation on fatalism and intricate patterns of betrayal and intrigue. Plus the films contain the erotic highlight of the decade, the spectacle of star Debra Paget’s scorching ‘temple dances’ before an all-male audience of admirers.

Now this is a kind of marketing and promotional initiative that has perhaps never been seen before. Though time and again one hears actors visiting malls and other public places for the promotion of their films, especially in Bollywood, there is a different route being taken by Dr. Cabbie which is an international outing with a mix of India, Canadian and American cast. The film is also special since it sees the coming together of Salman Khan Being Human [Skbh] Productions, FirstTake Entertainment, Caramel Films and Eros International. Vinay Virmani [Breakaway, David] along with Isabelle Kaif [Katrina Kaif's sister] recently initiated a campaign of Jean-Francois Poulliot directed Dr. Cabbie by visiting multiple schools across the length and breadth of Canada. This was done on behalf of the Government of Canada & Reel Canada organization where the ultimate goal was to not just promote the film but also interact on arts and culture with young students across the country.
