 By Pranay Mathur "naam sunte hi mujhe andaaz ho gaya tha ki tum filmi aur awara kisam ke lade ho" " woh to mai kha gaya, woh mai mast tel mein fry karke, woh mai kha gaya" "tera naam kya hai, raam...nahi shaam...are tu koi bhi aam ho" "devi ka prasad mandir mein, yahan nahi" "utha le re baba, utha le, mere ko nahi re, in dono ko utha le.." "raam raam, yeh patni hai...ke panauti hai" "chup kar nahi to kheech ke doonga" heard that before? obviously you do...there's one thing in common and you know what...the great PARESH RAWAL.. What made me actually post this article is the classic film ANDAZ APNA APNA that i watched the night before..watching his comic timing and then analyzing it deeply did i realize the great potential of his acting...effortlessly portraying his double weird characters of TEJA and RAMGOPAL BAJAJ with his perfect comic timing, he had people all over in India in splits. Especially the scene when he interviews Aamir and Salman when they came to his house for his daughters hand in marriage...His sarcastic speech which he displays still makes me grin... That was the film which made people discover his funny bone..the best was yet to come in the form of yet another riot HERA PHERI... playing the role of baburao to perfection with that killer marathi accent, he created a rage among people...they still call him by that name. Baburao ganpatrao apte remains as one of the most memorable comic characters ever.... His comic abilities were evident from the fact that he made flms like AWARA PAGAL DEEWANA and HUNGAMA run at the box office solely because of his superb comic timing..... Paresh Rawal certainly deserves the tag that has been labelled on him...that of THE COMEDY KING... Waiting to see more of you, Mr. Rawal..
