Quite in sync the pioneer of the genre in India was Dada Kondke, a man who built a loyal fan base with his loaded brand of slapstick in Bollywood of the eighties after becoming a rage in Marathi cinema the decade before.

In Hollywood, films such as the American Pie series, The Naked Gun flicks or the Austin Powers series have mostly featured second or third-string actors. If Hollywood trend is anything to go by (the genre has thrived in the West for ages), big stars will shy away from adult comedy in Bollywood too if the genre catches on. Only, the 2013 film augments the effect in a way that portions of its main song, Tu bhi hai mood mein, had to be pixelated when aired on TV. The Aankhen template of dirty dancing is retained in Grand Masti. Cameras lapped up in close angles gyrations of the film's stars that left little to suggestion, to the beats of songs meant to be funny.

But when the film released it grabbed eyeballs by literally institutionalising the pelvic thrust in Bollywood. The Govinda-starrer may have had no outright double meaning in its dialogues and, by today's standards, its humour would seem harmlessly flippant. In a broad sense Grand Masti is to 2013 what David Dhawan's Aankhen was to 1993. Grand Masti makes the ribald its main ingredient. Only, low-brow humour was so far normally a part of the bigger masala package comprising melodrama, action, romance and naach-gaana that we have come to know as the Bollywood film. This trend is in tandem with what happened to all other genres - on-screen violence has become more violent, the garish has become more garish, and dialogues more laced with cuss as the years progressed. The success of Grand Masti in urban multiplexes shows a very different segment is now game for the genre
