I was very excited to bump into this website called Bollywood Food Club. Here they feature a number of Bollywood films that perfectly place Mr. Jonnie Walker for the world to see. Here are some pics of the product placement. Even Mr. Bollywood himself - Amithab Bucchan - is caught in the act!
This is what Bollywood Food Club had to say:
"I always notice Johnnie Walker whiskey bottles in Bollywood films. Perhaps I have a very specific obsessive compulsive disorder that deals exclusively with finding Johnny Walker bottles in the films. I have photos of Johnnie Walker bottles sprinkled throughout this blog, but I thought I’d follow the lead of Shweta at Apni East India Company, who keeps a chronicle of Bollywood chandeliers and create a separate page for all the Johnny Walker. Now we just need the sprawling central staircases of the Indian film industry captured, along with birthday cakes and parties, and of course my most favorite, Bollywood balloons.
This page will now include some of Johnny Walker bottles I’ve found over the years from various Hindi (and maybe some Tamil and Telugu) filums. I have found that when a Johnny Walker bottle appears in these films, trouble is never far behind. In fact, if a black label bottle is shown, instead of the less expensive red label, it not only symbolizes fancier richer people, but people with even more evil intent than consumers of the plain old red label. To illustrate this point, one of the darkest characters I’ve seen is Apoorva Agnihotri‘s character, Rajiv, from Pardes (1997) and just LOOK (DEKH!) at how many Johnnie Walker black label bottles lurk in his presence!"
