A tremendous cast, a neat-but-twisty plot, superbly written characters and perfect detailing help make Banerjee's brilliant directorial debut. The most heart-warming surprise of the year, this is the indie film success we should all toast and recommend. And one with doubtless potential to gain enough momentum on television to become an eventual comedy classic. A small film that takes us back to the era of simple storytelling, Khosla is as delightful as achievements get.

The story of a middle-class man seeing his hard-earned plot of land usurped by a rogue builder, this isn't merely the film of a common man floundering to get his own back; it's also a magnificent, sarcastic ode to Delhi. The detailing is enormous, visible even in characters' accessories and shop signs, and the humour is simple yet terrifically laden with nuance. It's a very sharply written satire better watched than described, and boasts of the finest ensemble cast in ages. Kher is great, Shorey is a star, Pathak and Nischol create magic, and this is quite simply Boman's finest acting job ever. It’s the kind of film that would make Hrishida smile very wide indeed.
