  1. A is simple: The cricketers are Vijay Merchant and Vijay Hazare. The missing names of the cricketers are Wasim Raja and Wasim Bari.
    These 4 cricketers formed the famous English Commentery by Amitabh Bachhan in the film Namak Halal

  2. C if I guess...are the names of Amitabh Bachhan Characters.
    He played Dasharath Singh in Bunty and Bubli.
    He played Bheema in Aaj ka Arjun
    He played Arjun in many movies, in Namak Halal too his name was Arjun

  3. C, The characters Arjun, Bheem and Dasharath were names of the characters played by Amitabh Bachhan, Suresh Oberoi and Shri Om Prakash.
    If this were the connect and not the earlier one, then the Grand Connect would be Namak Halal....
    Hw ever I have no idea what so ever who those two Gentlemen are.

  4. The power of GOOGLE has made me identify the two Gentlemen. The man holding the oscar is Edward Blakes and the Gentleman near Elephant is Peter Sellers. A scene from a movie THE PARTY directed by Blakes and lead role by Sellers was copied into Namak Halal, a scene where Boot floats in water.
    If this is true then the connect is Namak Halal.

    However no credit to me for guessing these gentlemen, all goes to Google.

  5. The only thing I guessed right in this connect was that the below comments were surely from Paddy.

  6. Gr8 answer Paddy :)
    And it's nice to see Anup back in action..

    The connect is the movie 'Namak Halaal' (1982)
    Directed by : Prakash Mehra
    Produced by : Satyendra Pal

    A)
    1 : Vijay Merchant
    2 : Vijay Hazare

    Both these players are mentioned by Amitabh Bachchan in the 'You see sir, I can talk English, I can walk English, I can laugh English' scene.

    3 : Amitabh Bachchan refers this particular match to Ranjeet, when he gives him the second example of why 'English is such a phunny language'.

    Here are the missing links :
    Place : Wankhede Staduim, Bombay
    Year : 1979

    Players missing in the Scorecard :
    Wasim Raja and Wasim Bari


    B)
    1. Blake Edwards
    2. Peter Sellers

    The famous party scene in 'Namak Halaal' was inspired by the Peter Sellers classic comedy, 'The Party' (1968)
    Produced & Directed by : Blake Edwards


    C)
    1. King Dashrath
    2. Bhima
    3. Arjun

    Amitabh Bachchan's character's full name name in the movie is Arjun Singh vald Bhima Singh vald Dashrath Singh.

    Om Prakash and Suresh Oberoi played the roles of Dashrath Singh (Daddu) and Bhim Singh in the movie.
