(also possibly starring Anupam's wife Kiron Kher). Scripted and produced by Neeraj Pandey (A Wednesday, Special 26), and is an official remake (adapted to Indo-Pak politics, where the original dealt with Israeli-Palestinian politics) of the Spanish black comedy Seres Queridos: www.imdb.com/title/tt0376177/?ref_=sr_1
Songs are composed by the film's star, Pakistani singer Ali Zafar. Release date is supposedly the last weekend in January 2014.

Trailer:
Nice song in the background. Lots of talking, no subs, so hard for me to follow more than the basics. I suspect the trailer is trying to sell it as a cartoonier movie than it actually is.
PS: I suspect Yami Gautam and Shraddha Kapoor are going to be the 2010s Bollywood equivalent of the horsey-faced 90s starlets (Raveena/Twinkle/Sonali) in terms of being those b-list/lower a-list actresses I have trouble telling apard.

This looks fun and very watchable, actually. I feel like the Pakistani/Indian angle is not necessarily something new but it's still relevant and it gives the scriptwriters a lot of material in terms of "comedy of errors" scenes, social commentary etc.

Yeah, it could be potentially kind of preachy, but the situational comedy seemed to work in the trailer, and the scriptwriter has a knack for rather dry, throwaway humor that doesn't call attention to itself. There's going to be a real battle of the soundtracks going on, because in the one corner, there's this movie with its Ali Zafar tunes, and in the other corner, there's some stupid and kind of trashy "youth comedy" called Yaariyaan opening the same day (January 31, 2014), and it's produced in-house by the music company T-Series, so the soundtrack for that one's going to be heavily hyped.
