Who thought it was boring?

There were a few good moments, especially at the end.

But seeing how awkward Bakshi is, I felt bad for him.

And that party seemed so boring for him until the end.

The whole beginning made no sense, with the trumpet. Why did he keep playing stupidly like that.

The opening sequence (with Sellers signaling with a trumpet) is a takeoff on the end of GUNGA DUN. Clearly this film crew is making a remake of DIN - and Hyrundi is trying to expand his part by dying VERY slowly. The whole idea and execution is brilliantly comical.
