OurSourced - The Movie

Last night I was just browsing through the channels and I happen to chance upon something like a call center and an American tryin to handle things and then I stopped switchin channels simply coz the movie was hilarious and captivating, pretty thin story line but I suppose given my exposure with the expat community out here in India I just felt that there was quite a bit of learnin for them and us :-)

Outsourced is a modern day comedy of cross-cultural conflict and romance. Todd Anderson (Josh Hamilton) spends his days managing a customer call center in Seattle until his job, along with those of the entire office, are outsourced to India. Adding insult to injury, Todd must travel to India to train his new replacement. As he navigates through the chaos of Bombay and an office paralyzed by constant cultural misunderstandings, Todd yearns to return to the comforts of home. But it is through his team of quirky yet likable Indian call center workers, including his friendly and motivated replacement, Puro (Asif Basra), and the charming, opinionated Asha (Ayesha Dharker), that Todd realizes that he too has a lot to learn - not only about India and America, but about himself. He soon discovers that being outsourced may be the best thing that ever happened to him.

I was sooo keen on textin all my expat friends to switch on to the channel but just couldn't get myself out of the bed to reach for my mobile but sure rest assured I should be shortly recommendin the same to them :-)
