Adding a link here to the list of movies I compiled over in the lounge: 

International Film School

How to access the Slack Lounge? it asks for Jumpcloud domain address. 
Can someone please help?

[BScott]

Will check on this—thanks for bringing it up. Are you trying to sign up using the link we have above in the show notes?

[Ganeshkoolney]

Thank you for looking into it.
Yep! I tried the above link that takes me here

and does not accept Google login and I do not have @jumpcloud.com id

[BScott]

Yeah, it's not supposed to be restricted! Apologies. I'll see if I can send you a direct invite.

That whole list, and not a single Singham movie. tsk tsk

[urvashi]

I appreciate that you're a Singham stan but I'm not recommending it till the latest installment of the series comes out with a female lead. It's been announced but no trailers just yet. 

[rlyons]

To be honest, I think most of the US at this point got their intro to bollywood movies because of the internet memes spawned from Singham. So that is what we know. It's the Sailor Moon/Dragon Ball Z of the bollywood scene.
