Can you imagine Hindi cinema without Chupke Chupke or Angoor? Without the delicious confusion, the mistaken identities, the gentle satire, and the laughter that sneaks up on you long after the credits roll? Neither can Mudassar Aziz. The filmmaker is back with Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, which is ruling the screens, and the director is currently one of mainstream Hindi cinema’s most reliable custodians of comedy.
In an exclusive conversation with Koimoi, Mudassar opened up about the pressure of making sequels, why comedy remains Bollywood’s most underappreciated genre, and how someone needs to carry forward the legacy of legends like Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Gulzar. Honestly, his words deserve to be framed and hung in every Bollywood office.
Mudassar Aziz talked about celebrating the legacy of Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee and celebrating comedy as a genre, amidst all the chest-thumping actioners. He asserts, “I feel the legacy that we come from has Raj Kapoor, also. It has Manmohan Desai also. It has Prakash Mehra also. It has Vijay Anand also. And it has Rishikesh Mukherjee also.”
