Bollywood Calling - Movie

 2001. I cannot believe how different Hyderabad looked even 20 years ago. And I cannot get over the fact that I missed watching this absolute classic from Nagesh. Hilarious movie about the son of a make up man who wants to produce his first film (and ends up directing it). His big strength is that he has the ageing star Mannu Kapoor's dates and ropes in an American actor. There's no script, no order, people are fired left and right and there's absolutely no sense but things get done. Om Puri at Subra,the producer- director, is absolutely fantastic. You should watch the movie again and again just for him. Brilliant.

One can never forget the 'Baaall, baaalls' scene.
