This film really does have an enormous cast – including Paintal and Keshto Mukherjee, both credited as “Passenger in toilet” on the IMDB page. I must’ve missed that bit.]<BR/></I><BR/>This was a funny scene where Gufi Paintal (I think) wants to go to the toilet desparately, but finds it locked. He waits for the person to come out and out comes Paintal. He is about to go in, when out comes Keshto as well :-) He is dumbstruck for a little while, and at that momemt a small kid goes quietly past him and enters the toilet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1140673067255512512006-02-23T11:07:00.000+05:302006-02-23T11:07:00.000+05:30Sumptuously hilarious.

I am yet to decide which one is better – “the two couples settle into happy domesticity and produce a brood of younglings, played by intolerable child actors who make horrible ululating sounds whenever they have to cry (making the viewer want to smack them on the head so they might do some impromptu Method acting instead)” or “There’s a Hindu priest and a Muslim maulvi who initially squabble but later, faced with certain Death, smile sadly at each other and agree that when you’re being roasted alive in an unstoppable moving oven, religion suddenly doesn’t seem so hot.” Both had me in splits.
