Bangalore 365

A film made by an engineer-turned-filmmaker from Bangalore on the phenomenon of outsourcing and globalisation has become part of the curriculum in Michigan University.

The movie is creating waves in the Usand has won rave reviews on the festival circuit.

Offshore calls itself a corporate tale of cowboys and Indians. The film deals with the conflict between Americans and Indians, as they grapple with the threat to the American workforce from outsourcing.

Diane Cheklich director of Offshore said, “Outsourcing is a phenomenon that affects human beings. I sometimes tell the story where decisions made in the upstairs of the company affect the downstairs.”

Offshore which stars well-known actor Satish Shah is produced by a mechanical and aerospace engineer T S Dayananda from Bangalore.

Dayananda said, “The interesting part is that there are international law students also. In that respect, what is the view of future managers of American companies, how they view globalisation and outsourcing is covered. So they included it in the curriculum.”

The film will release in Bangalore next week followed by theatres in Hyderabad, Mumbai and Delhi. Source: ndtvmovies
