CARS OWN BUDDY

While watching the classic Malayalam movie Summer in Bethlehem , I noticed a heavily customized Jeep featured in the film. The vehicle is portrayed as belonging to the farmhouse owner, a character pivotal to the story. Upon closer observation, the Jeep appears to be a modified version of the Mahindra MM540 DP. The front end has been reworked with rectangular headlamps, a grille, and a bumper sourced from the Mahindra Armada. The bonnet stands out with its unconventional cuts and creases, along with an additional light mounted on it. Another intriguing detail is the "Lensman" sticker on the windshield—a common sight on vehicles in many Malayalam movies from that era. Perhaps it was a trending term at the time, or it might hint that the vehicle was provided by a team or company associated with the name.

Lambretta, a name synonymous with iconic scooters, also made its mark in the three-wheeler segment through the API 175 Auto Rickshaw, featured in the 1980 Malayalam film "Digvijayam."

While the Hummer H2 and H3 were massive off-road monsters, General Motors had a new vision in 2008: to create a more compact, affordable, and youthful Hummer. The result? The Hummer HX, a bold and game-changing concept that never made it to production. While watching the Malayalam film Thaskaraveeran , I was left speechless by a heavily modified vehicle used in an intense chase scene to introduce Mammootty’s character. At first glance, one could immediately tell it was a heavily modified Maruti Gypsy—but then something caught my eye. The vehicle's uncanny resemblance to the Hummer HX concept was impossible to ignore. Here’s the kicker: Thaskaraveeran was released in 2005, three years before the Hummer HX made its debut. I couldn’t help but think, “How is that possible?” Now, let’s compare the Hummer HX with this customized Gypsy. The modifications are jaw-dropping. The front bumper has been completely reworked with a bul...
