Mythic genius. A white Ambassador stops short of Comissioner DiMello's deep purple coffin and Puri's Ahuja stumbles catastrophically toward Satish Shah playing the corpse.

With the Commissioner's wreath propped up as a steering wheel, Ahuja is convinced he's found a waylaid fellow drunk, and sloshed out of his wits, he lectures him on sportscar tyre sizes and even checks under the hood before tying him to the back of his car and merrily towing him off.

It's a scene that beggars description, and features Om Puri at the height of his powers having an absolute blast, with Satish Shah somehow evoking tremendous mirth even in utter wordlessness. Words, quite simply, cannot do this moment justice. Check out the video.
