The film is directed by Ajoy Varma and stars Manoj Bajpayee in the lead, along with Asrani, Dilip Prabhawalkar, Govind Namdeo, Aarti Chhabria & Bharti Achrekar. The music is by Sandesh Shandilya and lyrics by Gulzar.Warner Brothers have produced the film.
Ajoy also directed another film for Warner Brothers – SRK starring Vinay Pathak. Warners have been sitting on it for a long time and there are still no signs of it release. And if we are not wrong, both the films are remakes of Malyalam hits.
I guess it is Ajay Varma not Ajoy Varma. he is a decendant of painter Raja Ravi Verma.
Dus tola is a remake of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponmuttayidunna_Tharavu
which was hilarious. I hope they don’t spoil it.
Don’t think Manoj Bajpai is right for the role. You need someone who looks vulnerable and a little foolish for the plot to work well.
SRK is the remake of “Chintavishta aaya Shyamala”.
Dus Tola is the remake of “Ponmuttayidunna Thaaravu”.
Both are stories by Sreenivasan, the magnificent writer and actor in the Malayalam film industry. These two Malayalam movies are evergreen comedies. And I’m sure they’ll be flops in Bollywood, as usual.
