The Hindi movie Gilli Gilli Akka is being released in two weeks, but where’s the buzz? The producer (played by Tanmay Bhat) summons his team for a brainstorming session. An early suggestion of creating a “still poster of the teaser of the motion poster” soon makes way for the realisation that the movie needs a hit song, which in turn needs an English word or two.

The Fawad Khan bit is brilliant, and Gopal Datt is, in the Bollywood sense, mind-blowing.
