This one has to stand out as one of the best comedies/satires ever made. Let me illustrate with the following...A dead man in a sitting position in his casket holding his wreath having an intense(admittedly one-sided) conversation with a drunk about cars....Soon,this dead man roller skating leisurely through the city...and this very same dead man starring in a play...now add to this the dry satire about essential goodness of people with the background of a corrupt India in the 80s and you can begin to understand what a magnificent movie this is.For those not into too much of hidden metaphors and social consciouswatever..fear not..This movie is hilarious and can hold its own as just a comedy...The best scene in the movie naah one of the best in movie history is the super tight drunk om puri and his conversation with satish shah that....Satish shah to me is the show stealer to me from his ultimate poses for naseers camera too his main role as a dead man.Naseer,vasvani and the rest of the cast are brilliant too....A must watch..get the DVD now..The English subtitles are pretty good in case you need 'em..
