Mr. Garagasa is a 2008 Indian Kannada-language comedy film written and directed by Dinesh Baboo and starring Komal in a lead role after a gap of fifteen years.[2] [3] The film is based on 1998 French comedy Le Dîner de Cons (also known as The Dinner Game) and its Hindi remake Bheja Fry (2007).
Muniya wants his movie script to be made into a film, so he comes to Bangalore with the script in his briefcase. He finds Parthasarthy, a film producer, but Muniya has a hard time convincing Parthasarathy that his story is good enough.
The film was simultaneously made alongside Ganesha (2007), which shared the same crew.[4] The film was shot in nine-and-a-half days.[4]
The movie contains only one track. The audio launch for this film and Ganesha (2007) was held on 13 September 2007 at the G. M. Rejoyz auditorium in Bangalore.[5]
Indiaglitz called it a "time pass cinema".[6] Sify wrote: "The whole film leaves an impression of watching a stage play. Concentration is given more for dialogues".[7] R. G. Vijayasarathy of IANS wrote: "Garagasa is a well made film and gives a full meal entertainment of comedy".[8]
The rights to the film were purchased by Zee Kannada.[9]
