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:
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“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)
