Question 1444:Tyger,Tyger Burning Bright

Ok here we go..I start off posting again with this interesting analogy I found..

The first name X is an alternate form of the name Pink. Pink is a very rare first name among men, but its form X, not so much. X is apparently a latin variant for pink meaning noble or patrician.
The last name Y is considered to be the feminine equivalent of another name(say A).
So the first person is called XY and the second  is referred to as BA. Considering feminine to be gentler than masculine, pink is gentler than or a softer version of B. The same can be said of the two people as a whole. 
This is just one of the analogies that looks to give support to the theory that XY and BA are the same person, that has found huge support among fans.
What?

Question 1427: Sahib, Biwi and the Gangs

'X' and 'Y' entered Bollywood almost around the same time in the early 1990's. Both, hailing from north India, are known for their involvement in a certain genre of rugged practical and vehement brand of cinema. Having had their own struggles through the industry their acquaintance has turned into a close knit friendship of late.

Noted filmmakers in their own regard, recently 'X', on the behest of 'Y', has ventured into a new avenue through the movie 'Gangs of Wasseypur'. On the outset it seems to be a case of returning of favour, as 'Y' is known to have played a cameo in the 2011 movie 'Shagird'.

'Y' has quipped, "I will not do what 'X' did to me. I have given him the most important role in the film!"

X?
Y?
What am I talking about?

Answer:
X: Tigmanshu Dhulia
Y: Anurag Kashyap
Tigmanshu Dhulia plays the role of the main villain in 'Gangs of Wasseypur'.

Question 1355: In Glory Lies Pride

Poster of a 1978 Italian war-movie by Enzo Castellari. It was later released under the name '________ _________', a name that it closely shared with an unrelated though similar 2009 movie X.

The plot of the Italian movie is set in WWII France where a group of American soldiers while being taken to a military prison are hit by a German air attack. Most prisoners die though five surviving ones manage to escape. As they are planning their escape they end up in a mission to steal equipment of the Nazi V2 rocket. They are to sneak into a 'damned armored train' in German territory, make the hardware steal and bring it back to their French allies.

The movie was also alternatively issued as Hell's Heroes and Deadly Mission on Television.

Which movie? F.I.B. (and hence the movie X as well!)

Answer: The Italian movie is 'Quel maledetto treno blindato' or 'That damned armor train'. It was released in English in the US under the name 'Inglorious Bastards'.
The 2009 Tarantino movie X was named 'Inglourious Basterds' which uses incorrect spellings.

P.S. The title of the question made the answer pretty evident!

Question 1353: Friends with benefits

'X' & 'Y', both popular musicians of their times, are also famous for the close association they shared and the influence they had on each other's music. Coming in contact through the band "The Byrds" in the 1960's, the association lead to the peculiar record of the song "Norwegian Wood (The bird has flown)" paving way for the raga rock trend in western music.

X's association with 'Y' greatly increased X's popularity and Ken Hunt of Allmusic stated that 'X' had become "the most famous Indian musician on the planet" by 1966. 'Y' is also known to have visited 'X' in Srinagar for lessons during which a documentary film about 'X' was shot by Howard Worth and released in 1971. In 1967, The Beatles won the Grammy Award for The Album of the Year for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band which included a song by 'Y' that was influenced by Indian classical music of 'X'.

The two also worked for a concert aimed at raising international awareness and fund relief for Bangladesh in 1971 and an album 'X- Family & Friends' in 1973. 'X' and his family also performed in 2002 for a concert organised in memory of 'Y'.

X? Y?
