We promised we wouldn't stay away from Bollywood for very long, and after last episode's minimalist experimental ghost story we go for something a lot more crowd pleasing. It's also our most modern, being released in 2000. Aren't we cheating though? Was that released long ago enough to consider it a classic? Well, seeing as it's a cult film with an 8.0 rating on imdb and was voted funniest film of all time by the Indian Express, we're going to say: yes.
So join us as we navigate our way through the spiritual sequel to Gol Maal. Along the way, we'll see Seinfeld-style phone book hijinks, arguments about who gets what job because their dad died first, people eating paper to escape contracts and an actual kidnapping.
We also tackle all of the most important questions, such as: "Who was Smytta's childhood Baburao?" "What the hell was the deal with that item number?" and most importantly, "as much as we love Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Tabu, which is Paresh Rawal not on the poster despite being the funniest thing here"?
If that doesn't sound like too much, strap yourself in for some bullet-train speed Bollywood chaos.
