Around my neighborhood

According to Netflix, here is what my neighbors are watching ("Local favorites for Mountain View, California"):

  • Changing fortunes await wealthy but dejected industrialist Aditya (Shahid Kapoor) when he meets a spirited chatterbox named Geet (Kareena Kapoor) on a train in this breezy romantic comedy from Bollywood director Imtiaz Ali. Nursing a broken heart, Aditya ends up traveling with the impulsive Geet, who's on her way to elope with her secret beau. But fate has other plans, and soon Geet and Aditya are thrust together again ... perhaps for keeps.

  • When his department is outsourced to India, customer call center manager Todd Anderson (Josh Hamilton) heads to Mumbai to train his successor (Asif Basra), and amusing culture clashes ensue as Anderson tries to explain American business practices to the befuddled new employees. In the process, he learns important lessons about globalization -- and life. Ayesha Dharker and Matt Smith also star in director John Jeffcoat's cross-cultural comedy.

  • After do-gooder Happy (Akshay Kumar) wrecks half of his town, local villagers joyfully send him away on an impossible mission to Australia. When a crazy turn of events places Happy in charge of a mighty underworld gang, he tries using his new power for good. In control of killers and thieves, Happy forces his new employees to replace their illegal activities with household chores such as cooking and gardening.

  • When Rajiv's respectable uncle gives his blessing to his nephew's love for Sanjana, he doesn't know the girl comes from a Mafia family. When he tries to retract his approval, Sanjana's brothers set out on a comical mission to convince him otherwise. Directed by Anees Bazmee, this rollicking comedy stars Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Paresh Rawal, Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor and Mallika Sherawat.

  • After Gopal (Ajay Devgan) rescues an attractive woman from a criminal gang, the two are forced to spend the night on a yacht. But when his wife, Ekta (Kareena Kapoor), becomes suspicious about the absence, Gopal claims he was with a friend. Gopal makes up an alibi, but the story starts to fall apart and takes hilarious turns when a dead body is found and the police start to ask questions about where Gopal really was that fateful night.
