  • I'm like, Archana, and like, that's my pathetic boy-friend—Ira Dubey's stinking rich Dilliwali is pitch-perfect. So is Anand Tiwari's superb Kapil Dev Dholakia who thinks everything can be bought, even hand-shaking contests which play out like Reality TV, and who probably counts stocks instead of sheep, in bed.

    There are several little gaps in the gag-a-minute pace, where things lapse, making attention wander. But the curve never flattens enough to flatline. ‘The President Is Coming', produced by Rohan Sippy, picks up from where it left off, and you're laughing again.

    Is a new wave in Bollywood coming?
