brief title

An elderly man of South-Asian descent stands waiting for a bus in Southall, West London. To his right is a Bollywood action-hero poster, the tough-man actor is posing with his biceps bulging and in anothr picture, is hugging a beautiful girl. The movie advertised is by Rakesh Roshan, a producer, director and former actor in Bollywood films. It is an image of paradox, the old gentleman using a walking stick and dressed against a British multicultural winter, with hat and overcoat - and a tropical romance played out on the movie poster. It may be sunny but the biting winter day is raw with cold.
