American viewer would like to know more


I recently saw this film, which is pretty obscure in the United States. This movie really struck a chord for me, for whatever reason. Fundamentally, it is nothing more than your average thriller, but it was done in a way that I, as an American viewer, have never seen. If anything, the movie had huge camp value due to the musical sections.

I thought it was really fresh and I would like to know any other films that people familiar with Bollywood would like to recommend. I am not necessarily looking for "critc's choice" movies, just good fun.

This film sort of reminded me of Bakshi's work, since it is very cartoony and silly on the exterior, but deals with serious subject matter in a deadpan way.
