No social account is listed here because we could not positively confirm an official one. We link verified first-party accounts only — a fan page or a namesake would be worse than nothing.
The case
Ankhon Dekhi should have ended the argument. Mishra plays a man who decides to believe only what he has personally seen, and takes that idea to a place that is funny for an hour and unbearable for ten minutes. He still gets offered the loud uncle. He still turns the loud uncle into a person.
Where to start
Begin with Ankhon Dekhi (2013). It's in this canon — read our entry on it. Then work through Masaan, Kadvi Hawa, Anaarkali of Aarah.
