Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Vinod (Naseeruddin Shah) and Sudhir (Ravi Baswani) are two professional photographers trying to start a photo studio. The first real assignment that they get, from the activist magazine Khabardar (literally meaning beware), draws them into the shady world of Bombay real estate. They discover that one of the biggest builders in Bombay, Tarneja, is trying to bribe Municipal Commissioner D'Mello (Satish Shah) into giving him a bridge contract. Meanwhile D'Mello is negotiating with Tarneja's arch rival Ahuja (Om Puri). The contract is finally awarded to a third person. By chance Vinod and Sudhir find out that Tarneja has murdered D'Mello...

Trivia
There is a reference by Vinod (Naseeruddin Shah) early in the movie, to borrowing money from Kundan Shah. Kundan Shah is the name of the director. This is a reference to the money borrowed (or lent to them) by NFDC (National Film Development Corporation). The movie was the winning entry of a Script writing contest, organized by NFDC. It ultimately ended up costing more than the sanctioned amount of Rs.700,000. See more »Quotes

Practically speaking.. I don't have words to express how you feel watching this movie. I guess this is the only Hindi movie which is end to end comedy. Lung puncture is guaranteed. Look at the star cast.. Nasiruddin Shah, Om Puri, Pankaj Kapur, Bhakti Barve, Satish Kaushik, Neena Gupta and above all, Satish Shah playing his unarguably best roll of his life.. Roll of a dead body. Who can forget dialog like "Thoda khaao Thoda pheko" And scenes like Drunkard Om puri talking to Satish Shah who is in Coffin and Om puri thinks that He is in some sports car. And above all The climax scene of Mahabharata Play.. Just mesmerizing performances... Technically correct and so real to real life talking about corruption, and bribe in such a lucid and comic way. Must say this is a Must Watch movie not once not twice but its like old wine, Every time you watch you are bound to get a different flavor all together.
So if you have not watched it.. go and watch it.. you don't know what you are missing...
