This is a Shyam Benegal movie and Shreyas Talpade is in the lead role, well if that is not enough for you to watch the movie then read on.
At first I was also apprehensive!! The title sounded funky an unlike Shyam Benegal. But what the heck I was totally freaked out, tired and dried of energy due to the excruciatingly hectic office work and had come with my school friends and also had not seen a movie for weeks.
In the opening scene Mahadeo (Shreyas) introduces the village Sajjanpur in a slapstick manner that really draws your attention and tells you that there is something special this movie. Sajjanpur is village in northern India mostly the Bhojpouri land I guess based on the hindi and the language used. The story revolves around Mahadeo who is a BA pass self employed letter writer (patra lekhak - one who writes letter for the illiterate). In his own sarcastic and slapstick way Mahadeo reveals about the realities of life - intercaste marriage, a transverstile getting elected as the village panch, corrupt politician, supertitious phoofi (aunt) who wants to get her daughter married to a dog to get the bad omen out of her, etc etc. The end is also a bit different and fantastic though a little abrupt. I assure you that you will get jiggled and have fun.
On the whole its a good, enteraining, well made movie and a total paisa wasool movie. One warning - donot take your children as the movie is packed with foul language and lotta double meanings.
I will rate the movie as 4 / 5. Have a good time.
