KBC - 4 Review

Comedy has been the bane of Indian cinema and advertising. Try as we might, comic timing eludes us.

If this is the general opinion, then this ad attempts to challenge it and how!
This ad is a delight to watch. Each shot seems to outdo the previous one. The characters' sense of comic timing is impeccable with the little boy complimenting the protagonist every step of the way.

While the question "Akbar ka baap kaun hai?" finds a faint resonance with "Manoranjan ka baap", that is where the similarities end.

To tell the story would be to steal the thunder from this comic caper, and not being much of a comedian myself, I could end up with an egg on my face!

But watch it for:

* the mindless fun
* the excellent script
* the performance of the father-son duo
* for the less appreciated but very important, careful editing
* heck, there's no harm repeating myself, for some mindless fun

Then there is the clincher:

"Koi bhi sawaal chota nahi hota."

Is that so?

Hmm...

Interesting...
