VIDEO: Learn the New Rules of Fight Club in the Bollywood Remake Teaser
Good news! You can now talk about Fight Club to your heart's content. The bad news? It gets a little more complicated after that. This teaser for the 2006 Bollywood remake of David Fincher's ode to mid-life nihilism is making its way around the web this week, and it lays out five new rules for members. And while some are totally rational (you now need a valid reason for a fight), others just left me confused. I'm particularly intrigued by number three which is known only as, "The Left Hand Rule." The character talking about it does hold up his left hand, but otherwise I've got nothing. Plus, does rule number one for this film negate the left hand rule anyway? Check all of them out and weigh in on the practicality and fairness of The Left Hand Rule after the jump.

RULE #6 -- There can be no musical numbers in "Fight Club" with a cast of hundreds wearing saris.
Rule #3 is almost certainly a joke referring to how weird Indians are about their left hand. Traditionally, Indians always wiped their asses with their left hand and did not use toilet paper, although I don't know if they still widely do that. Regardless, they have a tradition that your left hand is always unclean. For example, you are required to only ever pick up food or utensils with your right hand. It's like learning to eat with chopsticks.
