Indian Tekkie’s Indie Film Bypasses Bollywood

February 24, 2006 By S. K. Sloan Leave a Comment

Indian students are creating a 90-minute indie/scifi film that not only is warp speeding past normal Bollywood channels, but will also showcase some of their over-achieving, real-life inventions.

The aspiring scientists, techno-geeks and moviemakers belong to the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi (IIT-Delhi). Some of their inventions are an automobile that is fueled on biodegradable trash (move over “Doc Brown”), and Bond-like eye-glasses that can receive and transmit both audio and video signals. These are just a couple of the many technical creations they have put together that will be highlighted in their adventure scifi and spy film “Formula 69” (not to be confused with the gay/lesbian porno flick with the same name).

The film, about three college students, is currently in the pre-production stage and is about how these students begin their own investigation into the murder of their school’s dean. Their lives become entangled in a strange web of intrique and adventure once they learn that the dean’s death had something to do with a mysterious sought after secret formula he was working on.
