I received this wonderful Indian Bollywood Taxi Art Car made from an Amby car, one of India Iconic cars from Valay the other day. Not only is it painted on the outside but its also got a great festive disco feel on the inside with plenty of red plush material and few Indian disco balls.. This is the Indian version of the Ultimate Taxi from Aspen Colorado.
Basanti is Julian Parr's brain child.
It's hand painted in Bollywood poster art style with Bollywood's most iconic movies and their songs from the past. Exteriors designed by Valay Gada and Satinder and the interiors done by Julian himself...
An ex regional director of Oxfam GB Julian needed to have fun after a day long of 'saving the world' and Basanti the ambassador does just that....It's kitsch, mad and brings a smile to even the urchins who for a second join the escape Bollywood movies provides to the masses from their tough days and keeps them going....
was in the papers today, basanti was taken for a joyride by the owner's driver and five friends who rammed the car and got put behind bars
ReplyDeleteI spotted this car outside Priya Cinemas in Delhi in May 2010. Took about a million shots of it from the outside...had no idea what the inside looks like till Hinesh (www.hippy.in) gave me this link! Good show, guys! Very well done! =)
