| About Book |
In the 1980s, an unheralded Hindi movie, made on a budget of less than Rs
7 lakh, went from a quiet showing at the box office to developing a reputation
as India’s definitive black comedy. Some of the country’s finest theatre and
film talents – all at key stages in their careers – participated in its creation,
but the journey was anything but smooth. Among other things, it involved
bumping off disco killers and talking gorillas, finding air-conditioned rooms for
dead rats, persuading a respected actor to stop sulking and eat his meals,
and resisting the temptation to introduce logic into a madcap script. In the
end, it was worth it.
Kundan Shah’s Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro is now a byword for the sort of
absurdist, satirical humour that Hindi cinema just hasn’t seen enough of. This
is the story of how it came to be despite incredible odds – and what it might
have been. Jai Arjun Singh’s engaging take on the making of the film and its
cult following is as entertaining as the film itself |
