Media Portrayals
Indian call centres have been the focus of at least two documentary films, the 2005 film Nalini by Day, Nancy by Night and the 2006 film Bombay Calling.
In Hollywood movie Transformers when the Defense Purpose electronic communication fails (mainly due to interference of the villain entities) an officer tries to place a call back home through commercial network, but fails to get through the typical Indian call center, mainly due to the over-zealous salesmanship of the Indian operator who is more interested in advertising their new package than putting the call through.

Famous quotes containing the words media and/or portrayals:
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
