The Angrez

The Angrez (transl. 'The Englander') is a 2005 Indian Hyderabadi-language comedy film written and directed by Kuntaa Nikkil, who co-stars in the film alongside an ensemble cast. In this film, the word "Angrez" refers to Englanders and non-resident Indians. The film was a trend-setter at that time, as it was one of the first to effectively and humorously, often resorting to the slapstick kind, portray the dialect of the Old City, Hyderabad and the Hyderabadi tongue. The film also portrays the fascination for American materialism, the hype around the IT industry and the lifestyle and culture it has spawned.
