<span class=normal>Hrishikesh Mukherjees evergreen laugh-riot Golmaal continues to enthrall cine-goers and filmmakers, while two more films have used the same title, YRFs Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is reportedly loosely inspired by it. We reproduce Late Hrishikesh Mukherjees interview about the making of the film:<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>A comedy to combat depression<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Despite the good storyline and lilting music, my 1977 film Alaap starring Amitabh Bachchan as the hero flopped. I was completely shattered by it and went through depression for several months. To snap out of it I decided to make an out and out comedy. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>It was during this low phase that I happened to watch a Bangla film entitled Kancha Meetha (sour and sweet). The hero kept fabricating tales and to cover one lie he would invent several other stories. This goes on till the last reel. I was fascinated by the character and decided to make a film with the web of lies as the central theme. When I discussed it with producer N.C. Sippy, he approved of it instantly and the film was launched. Right from the outset we decided to make a complete family entertainer interwoven with many rib-tickling moments. I teamed with writer Sachin Bhowmick for the screenplay. Once the story was conceived we worked on every scene and infused many hilarious situations. Thus there is an even tempo of humour throughout the film.<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p><a href= https://www.screenindia.com/ target=_blank>Screen India</a><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p> </span>
