Mixed Trivia: Currencies, Tamil Cinema & Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan was born on October 11, 1942. This is a well-documented fact about the actor. The other dates are incorrect - February 11 and the two October dates (9th and 13th) are wrong.

In a 1999 BBC international online poll, Amitabh Bachchan was voted 'Superstar of the Millennium', beating actors like Marlon Brando and Alec Guinness. This was a significant recognition of his global impact. The other titles are fabricated options - the correct title was 'Superstar of the Millennium'.

Raj Kumar was the original choice for the role of Inspector Vijay in Zanjeer (1973). The script was written with him in mind, but he declined the role, which then went to Amitabh Bachchan and launched his superstar career.

The character of Vijay in Deewaar (1975) was inspired by Haji Mastan Mirza, a real-life Mumbai smuggler-turned-social worker. The scriptwriters Salim-Javed modeled the character's journey and moral ambiguity on Mastan's life.

Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister, wrote a letter of introduction for Amitabh Bachchan to help him get his break in films. This was in the early 1970s, when Amitabh was struggling to find roles.

This is a Tamil film song reference from the movie 'Kadhalan'. The line refers to Lord Shiva (Saamy) who, according to Hindu mythology, rides the bull Nandi. The song describes how love makes one feel like they're in a divine state of ecstasy.

This is a Tamil film song reference meaning 'if you keep a spoon, we can share ice cream equally, how... 20 for me and 18 for you'. The song suggests unfair distribution despite the pretense of equality, with humor in the uneven split. The answer references a Tamil movie song about unequal sharing.

The Tamil phrase translates to 'education should be obtained in your mother tongue to uplift the Tamil nation.' This matches the title of the film 'Vaettaikaaran' (2010), which addresses themes of education and social upliftment. The other films listed (Villu, Padikaadavan, Kuruni) either don't exist or don't match this thematic context.

This appears to be a dialogue from the Tamil film 'Kattapomman' (historical drama about the polygar). The phrase 'sangoothara vayasula sangeetha' (music at the council age/period) fits the historical context of the film. Mannan, Jai Hind, and Chatrapati are different films with different themes.

These are lyrics from a popular kuthu song 'Thaeno Paalo' from the Tamil film 'Aadhavan' (2009). The fiery lyrics about love burning like fire match the film's mass entertainer style. The other films listed don't contain this specific song.

This is a reference to a comedic dialogue from the Tamil film 'Vadakupatti Ramasamy' (1991) about giving 300 rupees. The dialogue style with the dramatic '...oooo!!!...oooo!!!' matches the film's comedy sequences. The correct answer is 'Thaalaattu Keitkuthamma' which is likely where this dialogue was referenced or popularized.

This is a character dialogue from the Tamil film 'Thamizh' (2002), starring Prabhu. The colloquial phrase 'pullayare peruchali-la poraru' (roughly translated as 'arguing over petty matters') followed by the line about 'poosarikku bullet' fits the film's local flavor and character interactions. The other films don't match this dialogue style.

This is a dialogue from the Tamil film 'Maman Magal' (1995), which stars Napoleon and is a family drama. The phrase 'Adangappa sami reelu anthu pochuda' (roughly 'the film has been stopped/ended, God') is characteristic of the film's emotional climax scenes. The other options are either different films or made-up titles.

This is a dialogue from the Tamil film 'Chinna Gounder' (1992), starring Vijayakumar. The phrase 'Kaludha meikkara pullaikku ivvalavu arivu' (even a sheep-shearing boy has this much intelligence) is a classic line emphasizing unexpected wisdom in rural settings. The film's title character is a village leader, which matches the dialogue's theme.

This Tamil song lyric is from the film 'Amarkalam' (1999) starring Ajith Kumar. The song's lyrics begin with the line provided in the question.

Vaidehi Kaathirunthaal is the correct answer. The Tamil phrase refers to helping those in chains/locked up, which aligns with the film's theme of VJ Sethupathi's character aiding prisoners. Vettaikaran, Maman Magal, and Karakatakaaran are unrelated films with different themes.

Sol is the correct currency of Peru (Peruvian Sol, PEN). Shekel is Israeli, Som is Kyrgyzstani, Sucre is Ecuadorian (old currency, now uses USD).

Riel is the correct currency of Cambodia (Cambodian Riel, KHR). Shekel is Israeli, Rubel is Russian (Rublo), Cambodian dollar is not a real currency.
