If Bheja Fry is your film
The Dinner Game (1998)
French original dinner-of-idiots farce this film lovingly adapts
(unless French subtitles tire you)
Khosla Ka Ghosla! (2006)
Delhi middle-class comedy where ordinary people bumble into trouble
(if property-scam stakes feel too local)
Hera Pheri (2000)
ensemble Hindi comedy of hapless schemes spiraling out of control
(unless broader slapstick isn't your humor)
