1* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: There is a lot of BlackComedy in this movie to avoid it from being too depressing:
2** The singer who sings weird (pronouncing R as D) in weddings and funerals is an openly comedic example. Qualifies as RealityIsUnrealistic as such singers actually exist and are employed in Rural Indian Areas to sing in Weddings and Funerals.
3** That time when Faizal and Mohsina are arguing about how Faizal's weed habit makes him look much older than he is, while Faizal refuses to believe that he looks old. So Mohsina asks a random bystander...
4--->'''Mohsina:''' Sir, please tell me, what do you think his age is?\
5'''Bystander:''' Around... forty, I guess.\
6'''Faizal:''' ''(removing his pistol)'' What did you say my age was? Forty?\
7'''Bystander:''' ''(quickly)''Thirty-five.\
8'''Faizal:''' ''(pointing it at him)''Thirty-five?\
9'''Bystander:''' ''(even more quickly)'' Twenty-four.\
10'''Faizal:''' Twenty-four? Asshole, I was born today.\
11''(beat)''\
12'''Bystander:''' Happy birthday!
13* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The film had a mixed reception in India, where most reviewers thought it had moments of brilliance, but was largely just slow, meandering and self-indulgent. Reviewers in the US and UK, on the other hand, were almost unanimous in their glowing praise, with many calling it one of the greatest movies ever made and the Indian equivalent to ''Film/TheGodfather'', with The Guardian even calling it one of the greatest films of the 2010s, the only Indian film to get that accomplishment.
