I saw PUSHPAK on tape in Chicago. Where did you see it? The print circulating in Indian stores here was made from the Indian home-consumption version which unfortunately meant a break for commercials every 7-10 minutes. PUSHPAK has a lot of slapstick in it, but I suspect most Americans would find some of the ads funnier than the film. (Bet you saw it in a theater--lucky!) Carol Slingo > > I second that .
