A goofy Indian actor gets accidentally invited to a Hollywood producer's house party. Trying to play it cool and mingle, Mr. Bakshi just can't lets a night pass without getting into trouble and eventually ruins a very posh and expensive party!
This was one of my favorite films while I was growing up. I was introduced to the genius of Peter Sellers by ym father and ever since then a year does not pass by without me devoting a special day for watching it and grooving with 60's vibes. Blake Edwards knows exactly what his job is and that can seem throughout the film ; escalating humorous scenes with perfectly planned pace, necessary musical breaks and well-studied on-spot sarcasm. Just the way a good fish-out-of-water comedy should be!
To praise Sellers, my father always said that you can judge a comedian not by the way he speaks his lines but by his talent to make you laugh without saying one word. Check out his movements and everything and he will seem even funnier than before. Of course, the rest of the cast helps too. Drunk waiter Steven Franken, honey-bunny Claudine Longet and party host Herbert Ellis. If you don't end up saying "Birdy Num Num" all the time after the film, then you have not watched it properly!
Must watch this : with a ridiculously colorful cocktail in hand after you have relaxed with some sitar-jazz-experimental 60s rock. Someday, have your kid watch this and tell him what a comedian used to be!
