Everyone's been bit with the Bollywood bug in the wake of Slumdog Millionaire's Oscar wins. The Daily News reports on Sarina Jain's Masala Bhangra workout classes (which are held at various gyms throughout the city)—it isn't new, but it unsurprisingly has a lot of new students (attendance doubling since the movie started getting buzz).

But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out… Visit the OFFICIAL SITE for info about FREE screenings in your area.
