Watched Bheja Fry on Fri .. I found the movie quite funny, though Deep would disagree with me here, I'm sure. It's one of those movies which don't make too much of an effort to evoke laughter from the audience - pure situational comedy. Had a good laugh..

I hardly get to see the likes of woh saat din (anil kapoor is an absolute god in this movie - would rate this better than jaane bhi do yaaron), jaane bhi do yaaron, angoor nowadays. It doesn't matter if you were watching these for the umpteenth time - you'd still end up rolling on the floor laughing. Guess it's just an off-shoot of the times we're living in - subtlety seems a bit out of fashion, and almost everyone seems to prefer the loud - and some of this's got to rub off on cinema.
