Indian TV Gold

Now I now where Paul got is inspiration from!
Whilst flicking through the television channels trying to find an appropriate Indian themed programme to take a photo of to accompany my previous postI stumbled accross a film called ‘Sampurna Ramayan’. As the film features a monkey (who has eyebrows similar to my husbands) I'm guessing it was a remake of the Jungle Book or a film about the Indian Monkey God (probably the latter).
Let me share some images (and commentary) with you:

So first the monkey who has eyebrows similar to my husbands
talks to a lady who comes out of the sea...
Then a sea monster/ man in a terrible Pound Land Halloween mask appears 
Then the monkey who has eyebrows similar to my husbands flies
towards the man in the terrible Pound Land Halloween mask....
........this takes a while
Then the man in the terrible Pound Land Halloween mask
grabs the monkey who has eyebrows similar to my husbands...
...and blows him eats him
Then the monkey who has eyebrows similar to my husbands dances in the man in the terrible Pound Land Halloween masks mouth, then he stabs him (gasp!)
Then the monkey who has eyebrows similar to my husbands comes out of the top
of the man in the terrible  Pound Land Halloween masks head!!!!
Gripping stuff I think you will agree! But it gets better.....

A foot appears next to the monkey who has eyebrows similar to my husbands
Then monkey who has eyebrows similar to my husbands grows!
A lady in a terrible Pound Land Halloween mask is shocked 
The monkey who has eyebrows similar to my husband pulls a funny face
The lady in the terrible Pound Land Halloween masks reminds
us where we won't be buying our  halloween masks from this year
Then the monkey man flies to the city


Aaaaaand I dont know what happened next as I was getting bored and 'Friends' was on the other side. Sorry.

  4. This is an old late 80s tv series based on the Hindu epic Ramayana. The Ramayana presents teachings based on hindu vedas in narrative allegory.

  7. I think people think I was taking the piss out of the Ramayana, I wasn't just the terrible make up and effects. Chill out people!
