Khosla Ka Ghosla
Khosla Ka Ghosla () is a 2006 Indian Hindi-language comedy drama film directed by Dibakar Banerjee, in his directorial debut. It was produced by Savita Raj Hiremath under the Taandav Films label and Ronnie Screwvala from UTV Motion Pictures. Written by Jaideep Sahni, the film stars Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Parvin Dabas, Vinay Pathak, Ranvir Shorey and Tara Sharma in the lead roles. The story follows Kamal Kishore Khosla (Kher), a middle-class Delhiite and his family's attempt to reclaim their land which has been seized by a builder, Khurana (Irani). Banerjee, an advertising filmmaker, wanted to make a feature film which showcased Delhi the way it is. The initial idea conceived by Hiremath and Sahni was about a generation gap. After finishing the script, Sahni informed Banerjee that he had found a producer in Delhi and asked him if he wanted to direct the film; Banerjee agreed to do so. The film had no buyers for two years during which time editing continued. The team showed the film to several people who loved it but were unwilling to back it. In 2006, UTV Motion Pictures stepped in and distributed the film. Khosla Ka Ghosla was screened at the 2006 Kara Film Festival and was released on 22 September 2006 to positive critical reception. It won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi at the 54th National Film Awards. Made on a production budget of ₹37.5 million, the film earned a total of ₹66.7 million at the box-office, making it a commercial success. It was later remade in 2008 in Tamil as Poi Solla Porom and in Kannada as Rame Gowda vs Krishna Reddy in 2010. Plot Summary 

Kamal Kishore Khosla (played by Anupam Kher) is an ordinary middle-class man residing in New Delhi. He has recently purchased a plot of land to build a new house for his family, which includes his wife Sudha Khosla (Kiran Juneja), younger son Chiraunji Lal Khosla, a software engineer (a.k.a. Cherry, portrayed by Parvin Dabas), elder son Balwant Khosla (a.k.a. Bunty, portrayed by Ranvir Shorey), and his tomboy daughter Nikki (Rupam Bajwa). Kamal Khosla has invested all his hard-earned savings from his provident fund into acquiring a plot in South Delhi. While Cherry, a software engineer planning to move to the United States for a job, is not enthusiastic about his father's plans, Kamal hopes the location will be convenient for Cherry's office. However, Cherry hasn't revealed his intentions to leave for the States to his family yet. When Cherry applies for a visa to visit the US, the visa agent, Asif Iqbal (Vinay Pathak), mocks his name, Chiraunji Lal, causing Cherry to feel ashamed. As a result, Cherry decides to change his name and eventually informs his family about this decision. Although Kamal initially taunts Cherry for his decision to change his name, he gradually realises that times have changed and starts to understand Cherry's perspective. A disagreement between Cherry and his father leads to a temporary strained relationship. To bring them closer, Cherry's friend and colleague, Mr. Amar Sahni (Vinod Nagpal), suggests that Kamal spends some quality time with Cherry over drinks. However, upon arrival from work, Cherry reveals that he doesn't drink, leading to an argument between him and his father. Kamal insists that Cherry must participate in family matters and fulfil his responsibilities, while Cherry reveals his plans to move to the United States after a formal job interview. Cherry's girlfriend, Meghna (Tara Sharma), an actor, is surprised by Cherry's decision and feels that he should stay and support his family. However, she gets upset with him due to Cherry leaving for the States soon and not quite supporting his father in the interim. During a visit to their new plot for a ritual called Bhumipujan, the Khoslas discover that their plot has been encroached upon by a group of squatters connected to a corrupt local tycoon named Kishen Khurrana (Boman Irani). With the help of Vijendar (Rajendra Sethi), the property dealer who facilitated the plot purchase, Kamal is advised to bid on their plot to reclaim it. However, the cost demanded is a significant portion of the Khoslas' plot, around 50% of the initial price, amounting to ₹15 lakh. Vijendar later suggests they personally meet Khurrana at his farmhouse to negotiate directly. Kamal finds the deal proposed by Khurrana to be ethically questionable and seeks assistance from local government authorities and political agencies. Unfortunately, these entities only offer to mediate the deal in exchange for hefty commissions and a reduced amount demanded by Khurrana. Kamal feels dejected due to such events. Spurred by his father's helplessness, Bunty decides to take action. He seeks help from a gang of local wrestlers who forcefully reclaim the plot by demolishing the boundary walls erected by Khurrana's men. However, this victory is short-lived as Kamal is arrested on false charges of trespassing, orchestrated by Khurrana. Kamal is released from custody at Khurrana's cunning behest, leaving him broken and disheartened. He urges his family to avoid further action, feeling incapable of fighting back, and encourages Cherry to focus on his prospective job abroad. Meanwhile, Meghna cheers up Cherry to support his family and then they visit Asif, who offers them help to deceive Khurrana and obtain money from him. With the aid of Meghna's friends and Asif's astute plan, they orchestrate a scheme to deceive Khurrana and extract money from him. They create a ruse involving a large piece of vacant land owned by the Fisheries Department, with Bapu (Navin Nischol), Meghna's mentor and the manager of a drama theatre group, posing as M.L. Sethi, a Dubai-based businessman and the owner of the land. Bapu's theatre group helps create a convincing scenario for Khurrana, making him believe in the authenticity of the land and its owner. As the sham deal worth ₹1.4 crore nears completion, Vijendar asks for 3% share of the plot deal, he is quietly excluded. Khurrana requests to visit the land again, unaware that the Khoslas themselves have taken on the roles of workers and labourers as the Bapu's theatre group crew have gone to perform at film festivals. After the visit, Khurrana takes M.L. Sethi (Bapu) and his assistant Mani (Nitesh Pandey) to his farmhouse for drinks. Khurrana's assistant, Munjal (Rajesh Sharma), receives a tip that Sethi Associates (Bapu) is not a legitimate party and is about to tell Khurrana about it, but quietly leaves in disappointment as Khurrana calls his associates a bunch of 'less-privileged people.' Bapu and his assistant successfully deceive Khurrana, taking ₹35 lakh in cash from his farmhouse, which they give to Cherry and Asif, leaving both of them ecstatic. With the obtained cash, Kamal pays the ransom demanded by Khurrana and regains possession of his plot, while Khurrana is forced to vacate their land. The remaining cash is divided equally between the Khoslas, Asif, and Bapu's theatre group. Cherry decides to change his name to Chirag and abandons his plans to move to the US. He marries Meghna and settles down with his family in their newly constructed house (New Khosla Kunj) on the plot. Bunty starts his own real estate business, and the film concludes with Khurrana realising he has been duped and deciding to cover up the sham deal with Sethi Associates to protect his reputation.
