Have any of y'all seen Monkey Man yet? I really liked it a lot. I didn't expect Zakir Hussain and a gang of totally badass trans ladies to show up but that surely made me love it a lot more! Plus fight scenes you can actually follow. Love that. So sick of the lazy shaky cam/quick cut bs! Recommend!
Dev Patel first burst into (most) Americans' consciousness in "Slumdog Millionaire"; "Jai Ho" was the triumphal dance number at the end (and won the Oscar for Best Original Song).

I haven't seen it yet! Looking forward to it and fully expecting to love it, based both on the trailers (which look awesome) and everything I've heard from folk who _have_ seen it.
I just thought he needed an action hero's catchphrase (like "Yippee ki yay, motherfucker") and figured I'd provide one.
I saw that it was from Slumdog when I looked it up but I still wasn't sure if that was a positive review lol. I haven't seen that movie in such long time.
There were the predictable misgivings (a British-produced Bollywood film targeted to a Western audience? Bring the fainting couch!) but I liked it, and his performance in it, a lot.
