He is not the main role, but his role is simply amazing. He does it so well.

It's one of the very few movies I saw, then bought - usually I buy movies in order to see them.<BR/><BR/>PPCC should try <I>Being Cyrus</I>, which was probably the first Hindi black comedy I saw. Prior to Bollywood, black was my favorite color of comedy, and comedy my favorite type of film, and I am always glad to know of Hindi examples. <BR/><BR/>Oh! And try Rajat Kapoor's <I>Raghu Romeo</I>, which stars the equally was-great-in-<I>Monsoon-Wedding</I> Vijay Raaz. And Saurabh Shukla.
