From the dusty mesa, her looming shadow grows
Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote.
She twines her spines up slowly towards the boiling sun,
And when I touched her skin, my fingers ran with blood.
When the last light warms the rocks and the rattlesnakes unfold,
Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones.
And rise with me forever across the silent sand,
And the stars will be your eyes and the wind will be my hands.
Where have you heard this lyrics? Very recently.

with Y affected his career later on. After director Francis Ford Coppola’s film The

X is a cult Indian movie released in 1998. Directed by Kanti Shah, it stars Y. Since its release, it
has attained a cult following among pan-Indian audiences due to its absurd storyline, farcical
dialogues, low production values, poor acting and "so bad that it's good" qualities.
Ravi Balakrishnan of The Economic Times states "The Y-starrer has gained a surprising
amount of cult popularity over the years, with several adulatory reviews and even fan-sites
cropping up. But when we first saw X, back in 2005, a full seven years after its unheralded
release in 1998, it was the first any of us had heard of the film or its prolific director."
"Watch X, so that you can say to your grandkids that you were part of the generation that
saw it first" says Kamayani Sharma of The ILIKE Times.
