as an Indian who despises the standard bollywood "masala" movies as they are popularly known, I'm always apprehensive when someone advises me to see a Hindi film. lately, however, i've been pleasantly surprised on a few occasions, most notably by khosla ka ghosla.

traditional Hindi comedies are slapstick and relating to a failed or flawed romance or some sort of monetary scam, and more often than not a mixture of the two. khosla ka ghosla however deals with a pertinent issue and brings out with genuine humor. i may be slightly biased because it deals with the city i've lived all my life (delhi), but it truly is a masterfully directed movie with superb acting. the depiction of typical idiosyncrasies one finds in families in modern day delhi is at once endearing and hilarious. the dialog delivery, accent and all, is perfect and the casting is par excellence.

i've seen this film more than once and i just cant get enough of it, i recommend it highly to one and all and especially to those who are fed up the **** that the Indian film industry has been shoveling us for a long long time.
