Quiz -09

This movie was one of the earliest movies to be dubbed, and even remained one of the most expensive movies ever made, ( over 140 crore with inflation adjusted).
The film was full of cliche
The tale has Rival Princes, A girl to woo( and she is poor :-(  ), full blown dances in Amphitheaters which later served as a "formula" for the 70s movies like Shehenshah, Ajooba etc.
The sword sequence is also a legend.
Yet instead of asking the movie, i will show a screenshot of the movie..
 The artists is this film went on to establish something that has stood the test of time 60 years. Some even became India's official entry in international arena in this field.

Quiz 08

Oki another piece of trivia to intrigue you..

The term i am looking for binds the likes of( the list is not exhaustive)  John Steinback, Cole Porter, Ezra Pound etc though quoted by someone not attributed to this "group".... the title orginated when this novellist ended up as a car mechanic, and the owner grew tired of him(lazy mechanic),


the term was back in vogue very recently because of the economic upheavel in west and became eponymous to millions of young men especially in DEVELOPED countries....

What is the term that remained lost for decades and suddenly being asked to look out for??

psst- the term was also used for dead members of british elite in wars....specially WW2.....
