Kundan Shah, the acclaimed director of films like Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron and Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, has died of a heart attack. One of the finest dark comedies in the history of Indian cinema, Kundan Shah’s Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro is totally a director’s film. On the outset, it looks like a film made with mostly a zealous heart, but a second look ensures the audiences get the intended satires and black comedy without much effort. Be it the name of the park where two rookie photographers click pictures or the names of the characters, everything signified something. From making a comment on our religious fragility to using symbols for our personal benefits, Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro talked about phenomenon that took over India in the ‘90s.
