  • This is from the iconic film Midnight Cowboy shot in 1968 or thereabouts showing a brief glimpse of the Air-India office on 5th Avenue, New York. The clip features John Voight strutting around the street, and has the celebrated number ‘Everybody’s talking’ sung by Harry Nilsson playing in the background. We are grateful to Neeraj Kumar for his sharp eye in spotting this.
  • This clip from the one the iconic film during its time Octopussy, Where Roger Moore played on the best character till date Mr. James Bond, name is enough to tell any one about this character, movie was release in June 6, 1983. In the movie Bond has to fly to Delhi in pursuit of Kamal Khan. He arrives in Udaipur by helicopter after flying over the Taj Mahal. Since Udaipur is a rather small town you can't fly there non-stop from London. This is the reason why Bond is arriving in a helicopter. But the most interesting fact about Bond's choice of airline can be found in the scene at M's office. Here we get a brief glimpse of Bond's plane ticket. On the ticket jacket that Moore is showing to M you can clearly see the name "Air India". One would have thought that Bond should fly British Airways when going to India but apparently Bond wanted to delve into the local treasures.
