Trivia:

'A Secret Handshake' screenplay was first written by producers Sukhi Pabla and Christopher Hazelett and was titled 'An Autumn In Paradise'. After years of trying to find funding and to lock in a big name for the lead roles, they had no luck. So they got together and had writer/director Harsha Gijre rewrite the screenplay to fit a smaller budget of less than half a million dollars. And was born 'A Secret Handshake'.

Perfect cure for insomnia!

I have never been fired up enough to make a comment on IMDb but after watching this movie I just could not help myself. This film (if you can call it that) is easily the worst travesty in cinematic history and believe me I have seen some bad movies in my time. There is only one reason for anyone to ever watch this film and that is if they are having trouble sleeping as it knocks you out faster than an elephant tranquiliser.

I implore anyone that is considering renting this movie to spend an hour and half doing something more fun with their time (like castration or dinner with the mother in law) Shot for under $500,000 (I would guess it was shot for under $100) the acting is non-existent and at the end of the film I was still looking for a plot. In short anyone that had a hand in making this film should do the industry a favour and quit before they torture the public with more of this tripe.
