...busts and nifty dance steps, he deliberately chose actors with theatrical training for the Macbeth retake. Irrfan Khan plays the violent but vulnerable Maqbool, a killer ultimately consumed by his conscience, and it's a performance that fulfills the promise Khan demonstrated in 2001's The Warrior. Pankaj Kapoor as the paunchy Mafia don borrows heavily (and successfully) from Marlon Brando and Al Pacino. Bollywood grandees Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah play the clairvoyant cops; both are equally known these days for their roles in other fusion Indian films, such as Monsoon Wedding and Bombay Boys (Shah) and East...
...storm--Strong, Bank of America's Nations Funds, Bank One's One Group, and most Janus offerings (except for its Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value and Risk-Managed Stock funds, which are run by outside managers).

Four times a month, Kapoor visits New Delhi's top restaurants, among them Italian bistro Flavors or Indian-food specialist Bukhara, dropping as much as $40 a meal. In the process, he ran up about $4,200 in credit-card debt, spread over three cards. Since getting married six months...
...Thanks to big spenders like Kapoor, Citibank is finding that its target customer is getting younger. Five years ago, the average age of a Citibank mortgage holder in India was 41; now it's 28. As a result, the U.S. bank has introduced all kinds of programs to attract young Indians. Citibank hooked up with MTV to issue an MTV credit card designed to look like a cassette tape.
