While issuing tickets as a B.E.S.T. bus conductor, Badruddin used to entertain passengers aboard with some antics. These antics caught the attention of actor and script-writer Balraj Sahni in 1950 while he was once traveling in a B.E.S.T. bus on which Badruddin, then 27, was working as a conductor. Sahni was penning at that time the script for the movie, Baazi (1951), and introduced Badruddin to Guru Dutt as a candidate for a role. Badruddin's screen test consisted of acting as a drunk, and he did it so well that Guru Dutt gave him the screen name, X.

Tinker, Tailor, SoldierJohn Le Carre’s novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is derived from this nursery rhyme.

Believe it or not, this movie’s byline was “Action & Great Reaction”. Considering the unique creative appetite Tamil Directors have for naming their ventures, this one sticks to the theme in the byline. This 2009 Tamil film was initially thought of a science education film by schools, only to turn out as the usual Ghajini-ish tale of vendetta - a lover’s retribution for the murder of his fiancee!!!

Newtonin Moondram Vidhi (Newton's Third Law)

X while providing the voice of Smaug. "If Martin had been there, I would have wanted to play off him, but there are size issues. Smaug is bigger than the hobbit - I think I can say that! This isn't the riddles scene. It's slightly different, it's intricate. Smaug doesn't engage with the Hobbit the same way as Smeagol does. Smeagol gets drawn in, whereas Smaug is on much more of an ego trip. He likes to feel dominant at all times, and because of what he's capable of, he is.

" The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is set to be released on December 13th, 2013.

In this Oscar award winning Hollywood movie for the best supporting actor, roughly only 30% of the film is in spoken English. The language which dominates the film is either French or German with a little Italian. This is highly unusual for a Hollywood production. Identify the movie.

Inglorious Basterds

 Film by Francis Ford Coppola, notorious for the number of production problems it had.

Casting was an issue, and Coppola was so fed up at one point because so many actors had turned down his offer to star in the film that he threw his five Oscars out of his window.

After finally hiring a lead, Harvey Keitel, Coppola changed his mind, fired him, and had to start the search all over.

Martin Sheen eventually landed the part, but he had a heart attack, postponing filming even longer.

Nature wasn't on the movie's side, either, as a typhoon ripped apart the first set, a fire destroyed important props, and a tiger stalked the production.

After facing bankruptcy and the possibility of never finishing the film, Coppola finally saw his work come to fruition and he found a place in movie-making history. ID the film.

Apocalypse now(1979)

(Dialogue): ”Geology is the study of pressure and time. That’s all it takes really, pressure, and time. That, and a big god-damned poster”.

Although a very modest hit in theaters, this movie became one of the highest grossing video rentals of all time.

The director of this movie watched “Goodfellas” every Sunday while shooting this movie and drew inspiration from it on using voice-over narration and showing the passage of time.

Identify this simple movie.

The Shawshank Redemption

(Dialogue): “Well, good morning, everybody, and welcome to day 255,642 aboard the Axiom. As always, the weather is a balmy 72 degrees and sunny, and, uh... Oh, I see the ship’s log is showing that today is the 700th anniversary of our five year cruise. Well, I’m sure our forefathers would be proud to know that 700 years later we’d be... doing the exact same thing they were doing. So, be sure next mealtime to ask for your free sep-tua- centennial cupcake in a cup. Wow, look at that”

The film contains numerous references to Apple computers

Wall-E

This actor has been nominated eight times for the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, making him the most-nominated actor never to win the award! Marlon Brando beat him to it in 1972, Robert De Niro in 1980 and most recently, he lost to Forest Whitaker in 2006.

In 2003, the Academy honoured him with an Academy Honorary Award, but he didn’t want to take it, saying that he was “still in the game” and would like more time to “win the lovely bugger outright.” The Academy informed him that they would bestow the award whether he wanted it or not. He finally agreed to appear at the ceremony and receive his Honorary Oscar. And guess who presented him with this Honorary Oscar? None other than Meryl Streep!

Peter O’ Toole, of “Lawrence of Arabia” fame!

As a producer, X tried to give the directing duties for this film to numerous colleagues, because he was afraid he couldn’t do the story justice it deserves. He was turned down by Martin (who was interested but ultimately felt it was a subject that better by a director of a particular ethicity), Roman (who didn’t feel he was yet ready to tackle the subject after surviving his childhood in it), and Billy (who turned it down because was in retirement). Billy convinced “X” to direct the movie himself.

About 40% of the film was shot using a handheld camera. Filming was completed in 72 days, four days ahead of schedule.

Harrison Ford was offered the title role but declined, saying that some people would not be able to look past him as a star to see the importance of the film.

When “X” returned to Cal State Long Beach 34 years after dropping out to earn his BA, his film professor accepted this movie in place of the short student film normally required to pass the class.

Schindler’s List

The word ‘X’ in ‘Y’ is used 161 times in the movie. The F-word or the variation of the F-word is used 292 times. The protagonist of the movie says “man” 147 times in the movie-that’s nearly 1.5 times a minute!

Unusual for an American movie, the bad guy in the movie wields a cricket bat rather than a baseball bat.

In an early draft of the script, The protagonist's source of income was revealed. He was an heir to the inventor of the Rubik's Cube. It was the director’s idea to drop this and never say.

X- The DudeY- The Big Lebowski

Speculation abounds as to the nature of the mysterious glowing contents of X:

Could it be Elvis's gold suit, seen worn by Val Kilmer (as Elvis) in True Romance?

The most persistent theory (most usually attributed to a friend of a friend who saw it posted on a message board by someone whose brother had read a report of a radio interview with Y himself) is that it is Z's soul. The story goes that when the Devil takes a person's soul, it is removed through the back of the head (this isn't part of any known religion, but this is what the message board posters say). When we see the back of Z's head he has a Band-Aid covering the precise spot indicated by tradition for soul removal. Perhaps Z sold his soul to the devil which would also explain why the combination to open X is 666.
