Some of the country's finest theatre and film talents - all at key stages in their careers - participated in its creation, but the journey was anything but smooth. Among other things, it involved bumping off disco killers and talking gorillas, finding air-conditioned rooms for dead rats, persuading a respected actor to stop sulking and eat his meals, and resisting the temptation to introduce logic into a madcap script. In the end, it was worth it. Kundan Shah's Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro is now a byword for the sort of absurdist, satirical humours that Hindi cinema just hasn't seen enough of. This is the story of how it came to be despite incredible odds - and what it might have been. Jai Arjun Singh's take on the making of the film and its cult following is as entertaining as the film itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45084585394327,"sku":"9789350290224","price":260.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789350290224.webp?v=1769201574","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/jaane-bhi-do-yaaron-seriously-funny-since1983-9789350290224","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
