Director: Sai Paranjpye
Film curated By: Manvi Sharma
Cast: Farooq Shaikh, Deepti Naval, Saeed Jaffrey, Ravi Baswani and Rakesh Bedi
Length: 145 mins
Language: Hindi
Chashme Buddoor is that rare comic Hindi film which is funny without being puerile. This Sai Paranjpye humour fest was a frothy hit when released in 1981 and brought about a mini revival of clean, homespun comedies. Two womanizing slackers, Omi and Jai (Rakesh Bedi and Ravi Baswani respectively) attempt to woo the new girl (Deepti Naval) in the neighbourhood, and fail - miserably. Their third room-mate (Farooq Shaikh), shy, and a bookworm - succeeds, much to their chagrin. The two scheme up comical ideas to split the lovebirds, so that their secrets and humiliation are not revealed. This was a film whose off-the-cuff insights rang true and were funny as well. With the zaniness factor kept within believable limits and with its frantic pacing, this whacked out comedy is simply bags of fun
