Almost every sentence he utters is deliberately filled with words that will become the inevitable *udne, *od, and more of the kind. Kiku Sharda has a speech defect that makes him start every word with a ‘ch’. The double entendre is quite juvenile, if we may. The thrills, chills and spills of the tale are enough to keep us glued to our seats. Just as the dust settles over that part of the plot, audiences are dazed by another spine-tingling reveal, and then another, and another. A zombie apocalypse hits the palatial resort-mansion, sweeping the bunch of friends in its wake. Notwithstanding the overtly sexual innuendos and double entendre undercurrents, the narrative is peppered with outrageous twists and turns at crucial moments.
Ashwini Kalsekar and Mukesh Tiwari complete the comic ensemble cast.
Mallika Sherawat plays Haseena, the spirit that haunts the resort. There’s also a blind caretaker of the resort, ironically called Nainsukh (Sanjay Mishra). Krushna Abhishek, Kiku Sharda, Anil Charanjeet and Vipul Roy are the guys in the group, while Shefali Zariwala, Sakshi Pradhan, Saba Saudagar and Shweta Gulati are the girls. To top it all, there’s something fishy about Manav. And guess what? There are multiple ghosts that want a slice of the haunting pie. The only hitch in the fun plan is that the resort is haunted. The story goes thus – a bunch of friends land up at their childhood friend Manav’s (Tusshar Kapoor) sumptuous resort for a vacation to celebrate the wedding of a mutual friend and allow him to enjoy his maiden sexual encounter with his new bride. To be more precise, Booo is not so much sexual comedy as it is double entendre humour, the kind that makes hormonal adolescents cackle like geese at the not-so-subtle play of words. Imagine our surprise when we discovered that Booo is less horror and more horrex, a new-fangled portmanteau of horror and sex. Touted to be the first horror comedy of the web world, we expected Booo to be something along the lines of Stree. Painter is also credited with the story, while Tasha Bhambra and Sparsh Khetarpal are the co-writers of the screenplay and dialogues, along with Samji. The show has been written and directed by Farhad Samji, and yes, any resemblance to the aforementioned tale is purely intentional.īooo Sabki Phategi has been produced by Paritosh Painter in association with ALTBalaji. We’re talking about ALTBalaji’s latest web series, Booo Sab Ki Phategi, a show masquerading as a horror comedy but which pays homage to well-loved double entendre flicks of both Hollywood and Bollywood.
Whoa, hold it! Before you start wondering, “what the….”, let us enlighten you in quick time.
DADA KONDKE PUNS SERIES
And thus came into being a web series brimming with smutty innuendos, suggestive dialogues and sexual puns. And our budding double entendre apprentice was back to dreaming and planning and writing – the kind of content he always wanted to. Then glory of glories, the digital revolution happened in India. Poor budding writer had to make do with writing Bollywood-ishtyle slapstick comedy with a distinct Rohit Shetty-ish feel to it. He dreamt of writing content that would make his idol proud, the kind of content that would shock, stun and stir his audiences into wild laughter and disbelief at the audacity of his jokes.īut alas, the Indian censor board was not ready to play the benevolent big daddy to his plans. He grew up idolizing Kondke and his inimitable style of film-making, which was replete with double meaning dialogues, crass humour and sex-drenched comedy. Even as he delightedly partook in their unabashedly low-brow humour, the impressionable adolescent made another interesting discovery – Dada Kondke and the art of the ‘Double Entendre’, Indian-style.
And then, wham! He discovered Police Academy, Caddyshack, and Meatballs. Once upon a time in the eighties, there was a pubescent adolescent, with raging testosterone, wayward hormones and wet dreams crowding his rapidly growing mind and body.
