A biting satire has its own appeal. It isn’t easy, after all, to make a commentary on the ills of society, viewing it through the lens of humour. If anyone from the current lot of directors can do it brilliantly, it is Sudhir Mishra, states Sumeet Vyas, who features in his latest directorial venture, Afwaah. “Afwaah is not funny, yet not too serious; it strikes the right balance [between humour and a relevant subject]. It requires an intelligent director like Sudhir sir to do that,” says the actor, who plays a Rajasthani politician in the black comedy.
