“What will people say?” is a
situational comedy set in Mumbai, revolving around the lives of six young
aspiring actors living together in a studio apartment. In all innocence, they
are doing this for economic security. They believe their apartment is immediately
above that of an influential producer Kamal Bose, who, they believe, is about
to cast a road company. They rehearse the play but how can they get him
upstairs to see it? It happens that the so-called producer is a chef, and,
right in the middle of a culinary
concoction, he runs out of oil. He comes upstairs to borrow some. At last the
kids have him and they aren’t going to let him go until he sees some evidence
of their ability so they stage a M**der. Having a knack for improvisation, they
will stop at no end to convince him. It is so realistic that police swarm into
the scene with hilarious results. A clean, bristling and outright
laugh-out-loud comedy that has the kids asking themselves that very Indian
question, “What will people say?!”
