Dany Boil to make movies about all the Indian cities he's heard of

Stunned at the success of his first movie about India, Dumbdog zillionaire, director Dany Boil has promised to make 183 sequels about various Indian towns and cities. Except that they will all be the same.
'I love you, Mambaai', he cried, at a press conference in Hyderabad, where he made this announcement. 'Seeing the warm reception my movie's got, I've decided to release this, world-wide, again and again over the next few months. What will be different is that the pre-release marketing hype will take the name of a different town each time, to get the western world to watch the same movie repeatedly. Also we have added some facial expressions to the lead character Dev Pateil in some versions. Dumbdog zillionaire -2,3,4,5,6 which are supposedly based in Indore, Nagpur, Surat, Cuttack and Madurai have all been released and are runaway hits in the States. People all over the world are finally appreciating how diverse a country Mambaai is' he said, beaming.
This was followed by a video of a New York theater screening of Dumbdog-3 (Nagpur) showing a visibly moved audience. 'Nagpore is such a colourful city. I never knew Pakistan had such towns' gushed one member of the audience.
