    I don't know why Indians gloat over such BS comparisons. The only thing this says is that you can make lowball offers to quality Indian engineering talent and thats ok. It shows a lack of self respect.

    Conversely, it was much more expensive than the movie `Moon`, which reportedly only cost $5M [0]. [0]https://www.wrapbook.com/blog/moon-2009 https://www.wrapbook.com/blog/moon-2009
