What happens

Maan Gaye Mughal-E-Azam (lit. 'Believe You Mughal-e-Azam') is a 2008 Indian Hindi-language crime comedy film about a group of actors who attempt to prevent an underworld conspiracy from destabilizing the Indian government. The film is set in 1993 after the communal riots that followed the demolition of the Babri Masjid. The film stars Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherawat and was directed and written by Sanjay Chhel. The film is loosely based on the 1983 film To Be or Not to Be, which itself is based on the 1942 film of the same name. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
