    Best Comedy movie ever

    The first time I saw this movie was when I was 10 years old and recently caught it on amazon prime. I think I enjoyed it more than I did before. Even my husband who cannot understand marathi and read subtitles appreciated it. Wow what a superb script, direction, starcast, music and choregraphy !! Everything is just perfect.
