Sassy Girls

Seems it’s going to be this quiet in here for some time now. Given the immenesely hectic schedules I am going through. And you’ll are going though. Coz I get no responses for my questions!!

Anyway, moving on with the quiz questions. The answers for the last 2 questions:-

1. The connection is the popular South Korean movie/story, “My Sassy Girl“. This romantic comedy revolves around the chance meeting of a young guy with this stoned girl and how he tries to get her back home to safety dealing with all her histrionics. One thing leads to another and they fall in love and decide to meet underneath a tree someday where they have buried letters writing about how they feel for each other. I’m not really in a narrative mood today, hence such an appalling summary of the story. But do watch it if you get it. It’s good.

The man in the top left is Kim Ho-sik on whose story, this movie is based. He had actually published all his experiences on the internet which became so popular that a novel was made out of it. Which was then made into Korean movie. Which in turn has inspired the 2008 Hollywood flick of the same name (the poster). And also, it inspired the 2008 Bollywood flick, “Ugly aur Pagli” starring Ranbir Shoery and Mallika Sherawat (lady in pink). And that, my friends, is the connect!

2. Again, thought this was easy and was waiting for a correct response. The companies whose logos are in the question, have come together to create the India’s first hill station since independence — Lavasa near Pune, Maharashtra. The logos in order - Hindustan Construction Company (HCC), Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL), Novotel, Apollo Hospitals, ITC, Symbiosis Society and University of Oxford. 

 

Now to this week’s questions:-

1. X is the poster for a theatrical. The image in the poster as well as the name of the theatrical is inspired from something. And that “something” has also inspired “something else” related to Y. Tell me all.

 

2. An age old chestnut. Who are these and what did they inspire?
