A Manmohan Desai films bears an invisible disclaimer that calls on for an outright suspension of disbelief. In his formulaic world, 100 percent of on-screen madness gave rise to 100 percent ticket sales.

Statistically, the filmmaker was, more often than not, bang on. His prized genre, lost and found, achieved new heights in the thoroughly enjoyable multi-starrer and musical, Amar Akbar Anthony.

Ever the reliant actor, super B understood his school of thought only too well. His drunken stupor in front of the mirror in the 'pucca idiot lagrela' sequence is a classic, comic gem.

Bol AB Bol: Aisa to aadmi life mein do-ich time bhaagta hai. Olympics ka race ho, yaa police ka case ho. Tum kisliye bhaagta hai, bhai?
