Hindi cinema has very rarely excelled in the satire genre. The only movie I can think of that is still considered one of the best satires is Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron, which was released 40 years ago. Pk and Peepli Live are some recent examples of decent satire. Kathal: A Jackfruit Mystery, the latest Netflix India original, is a decent attempt to make satire a part of our discourse, and rightly so because it is high time this form of comedy is utilized instead of relying on either slapstick or situational comedy, both of which have been overused in this industry. Directed by Yashowardhan Mishra, the movie is a tale of two exotic jackfruits getting stolen from an Mla’s home, with the entire police force of the town being assigned to look for them. The police force’s mind-boggling investigation is the charm of the movie. Will they get their hands on them?...

It is more charming than good quality, but it has enough of both to, without getting too complicated, entertain us with its slightly absurd humor.
Or not so “slightly”.
