Sudhir Mishra
Think about your favourite black comedies from Hindi cinema, and chances are Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983) tops the list. Kundan Shah’s satire, starring Naseeruddin Shah and Ravi Baswani, saw the finest minds of Hindi cinema come together to offer a scathing commentary on corruption and bureaucracy. Almost 40 years on, Sudhir Mishra — who served as one of the screenplay writers — is writing another satire along the lines of the 1983 gem.
