Jaspal Bhatti: The doctor of laughter

If laughter is the best medicine then Jaspal Bhatti was the best doctor. In a tragic road accident early on Thursday, the man who prescribed a smile to beat the morose of daily life through his satirical television shows left for the heavenly world. He was returning from a promotional event of his upcoming film ‘Power Cut’ which is a satire on the electricity department.

Jaspal Bhatti was unlike any comedian before or after him. His television shows ‘Ulta Pulta’ and ‘Flop Show’ were not mere laugh riots but took potshots on the functioning of various government departments and the inexplicable ways of our society. ‘Flop Show’ in particular was what I believe set the trend of Indian sitcoms.
