WL Film Quiz/Caption Contest "Warm-up"

Family.....To kick start the "Humour Thursday", I personally request you all to warm up with this caption contest. Bhargav would declare the winner for the "Best Caption" and the winner will be sent across a music CD (of a latest film) at their address. The winner is required to send their full postal address to sandeepbalan83@gmail.com on which the CD will be sent across. Let's not let Bhargav down with lukewarm response. He is devising contests for us and it's on us to keep that fire burning within him. I expect everyone to try their hand at this one, however idiotic it may sound. Let hilarious captions flow for this hilarious pic. Happy "Humour Thursday"

DISCLAIMER

This was meant to be a warm-up to the WL Movie Caption Contest 2009! I have prizes (DVDs) only for the actual contest. The music CD idea is Sandeep's creation. He's the sponsor for this post :D Thank you Sandeep! ;-)

THIS "WARM-UP CAPTION ROUND" IS NOW CLOSED

---------------------------------------

Hello folks,

There won't be any film quiz this week as I'm currently working on the Movie Caption Contest which will be online this Saturday (23 May).

In the meantime, take a look at the picture below and form some captions (for a quick warm-up before the actual contest!). It'll be brilliant if you can share them with everyone in the comments section.

Remember, word limit is 15-20 words and the caption can be in English/Hindi.

Good luck and see you this Saturday!
