My friends would kid me, saying "Maybe those Taliban guys aren't all bad." Sure, and I remember when the Taliban was in charge, how they banned Bollywood films.

I guess the bus driver was Indian. Accept for Americans, every one in the world has seen Awaara (1951). I have been asked by chines, russian, turks, etc about the movie when they couldn't remember the name of movie. So it has been going on for long time, especially in Afghanistan where Indian movies are very popular. Funny thing is that after Kabul was liberated in 2001.
