Bollywood, not Hollywood, recently launched a movie where the lead character is an Xbox 360 game developer. Bachna Ae Haseeno’s protagonist is responsible for key Xbox 360 exclusives, namely Halo 3 and Gears of War. But this isn’t a documentary about coding inside of a cubicle. Regardless of Raj Sharma’s occupation Bachna Ae Haseeno’s is about life lessons from three different girls. Like all video game developers Raj has an entourage of women following him while he sips a latte. Very realistic.
Here’s a trailer for the film and it doesn’t look like it’s about video games at all. Well, at least Microsoft is trying their best to promote the Xbox 360 in India with some unusual tie ins.
