The Godyears Movie Quiz 2012

I hope all of you had a fun weekend.
For those newcomers who want a quick review of what's going on, this is a Movie Trivia based contest running through Christmas week at Godyears.

For more details on the rules and prizes, please refer to the earlier post. 

For others, get your thinking caps on. This is where you finally prove that watching movies when you were supposed to be studying was not a waste of time ! Bluetooth, chits, phone-a-friend, Google, prayers, buying me a yellow Ferrari as a bribe are all allowed too, in case you're wondering.

This quiz consists of 3 rounds of increasing difficulty. 

Fair warning : Read the questions carefully - there maybe a hint/twist hidden in them.
 Shall we begin ?

ROUND ONE : STARTERS

ROUND TWO : BUFFET TABLE

Ah yes. Starters and soups are fine but this is where the true winners will emerge. Hidden in the table below are a whole bunch of movies - from both Bollywood and Hollywood. I'm not going to burden you with silly details like how many are there... find as many as you can.

I will say this - they are hidden in every conceivable direction : vertical, horizontal, diagonal, right to left, left to right, top to bottom, bottom to top.
