News of a remake is in the air, and I hear that Abhishek Bachchan, Bobby Deol and Big B himself are being considered for roles. I am not averse to remakes provided they bring something new to the table. What can they bring to the table that matches the old botanical farce or improves on it?
The wikipedia defines FARCE thus: A farce is a comedy written for the stage or film which aims to entertain the audience by means of unlikely, extravagant and improbable situations, disguise and mistaken identity, verbal humor of varying degrees of sophistication, which may include sexual innuendo and word play, and a fast-paced plot whose speed usually increases, culminating in an ending which often involves an elaborate chase scene.
Was it Hrishi Da’s intention to create a farce in Chupke Chupke? The situation was unlikely, the set-up improbable, there was mistaken identity, lots of verbal humor in many different languages, there was sexual innuendo and some quite explicit goings on for a Hrishikesh film. In fact except for the chase scene all other elements were in place.
A few things that I found particularly hilarious: 1. The fixation on the Jeeja Saali relationship.
2. The hilarious use of Botany – and particularly Corolla! LOL! Jaya wanted the Botany Prof to teach her about the corolla, and it took him all night to study that up! And everyone would walk about with a flower in their hand.
