Ghuspetiyas

‘Tis the season of ghuspetiyas undoubtedly! Have always seen them infiltrate sukhi parivaars…they’re now laying siege to nations, and sparking potential Waars! 😅

That’s how I decided to watch War Chhod Na Yaar, to infuse some cheer in the crazy hopelessness that is spiralling out of control! 🙄 And it didn’t disappoint! 👏👏👏

I really like Sharman Joshi. I thought he was stupendous in Golmaal, and held his fort against the mighty Aamir in 3 Idiots. When I discovered he was the male lead in WCNY, I was over the moon! It clearly spelt longer screen time. 😉

Although the production values of this film are disappointing to say the least, and the direction shoddy; an eight-year old could wield the camera better🙄; I must confess I’ve never laughed as uproariously this whole year as I did whilst catching this madfest! 🤣

The impeccable casting is what paid off handsomely. Dalip Tahil, essaying the ubiquitous politician in every nook and cranny of the globe, really took the Mickey out of the jokers who govern us😂

Him hogging the screen, and grabbing credit for everything will remind you of a certain someone! 😝🤣It’s almost as if that person uses this film as a blueprint for his conduct in office🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wasn’t particularly impressed by Faraz Haider’s angles, but boy, does he have a grip on what’s happening in the current world, be it politics or the toxic media! This film almost makes him look like a seer, rather than a proficient director! 😂

Javed Jaffery is such an underrated gem! He and Sharman as Captains of the ‘colluding’ rather than ‘feuding’ sides are such a rare treat to behold! 😂😂😂😂

Soha pitches in a restrained performance, and I’m glad Faraz chose her instead of perhaps a Kareena who would make it all about her good looks, good looks and good looks! 😙😚🤪 Kareena has changed more outfits in Zoobi Doobi than her sil in this entire film! 😝

And thank heavens, Ash or Sonam weren’t cast!😅 They would have strutted in their many ensembles down the endless ramp that is Registaan, mistaking it to be the ballroom at St. Regis in Cannes!😝🤣🤣🤣

But the cherry on the icing was the casting of the ghuspetiyas and their Afghani Hindi. Wallahs! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

One of the sidekicks, in particular, bears such an uncanny resemblance to a ghuspetiya I am acquainted with on a personal level, that I was left in stitches!!!!😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

This ghuspetiya tries his best to invade and keep tabs on my world (God knows why! 🙄) So, this is just me showing the mirror to him, when he comes for an uninvited peek in here😝😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
