Jaspal Bhatti
POWER CUT - A high voltage Comedy by Jaspal Bhatti When you give a pen in Jaspal Bhatti's hand, he will churn out a story that is going to be different stuff. If by chance you assign him to misdirect the movie you are sure to go mad laughing in the theatre. Those who have fake dentures are advised to keep them in their pockets or else they may lose them while laughing laud in the darkness of the cinema halls. It is basically a youngsters' movie. Two young boys and a beautiful young girl named 'Bijli' in an electrifying love story. The film is backed up by a strong team of A-class comedians who tackle the issue of Power Shortage. Jaspal Bhatti's previous film was 'Mahaul Theek Hai', it was a super hit and a trendsetter. Mahaul Theek Hai did 25 weeks in Amritsar and 11 weeks in Chandigarh. Till today no film has broken that record. Jaspal Bhatti's made a Video Film, 'Jija Ji' that again was a super success. Jaspal Bhatti's earlier works like Ulta Pulta, Flop show and Full tension have become classics in the history of Indian Television. Jaspal Bhatti always comes up with a new idea. THIS TIME IT IS POWER CUT - a satire by Jaspal Bhatti.

Jaspal Bhatti, the most popular social satirist in India, graduated from Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh in North India, as an electrical engineer. He was famous for his street plays like his My Nonsense Club during his college days. Most of these plays were spoof ridiculing the corruption in the society. Before venturing out in to television, he was a cartoonist for the Tribune newspaper in Chandigarh.

His big break on the TV came when he acted in, and directed the immensely popular TV series like "Ulta Pulta" and "Flop Show" for Doordarshan television network. What attracted audience to his shows was his gift of inducing humour to highlight every day issues of middle class in India. Bhatti's satire on Punjab police called _Mahaul Teek Hai (1999)_ was his first directorial venture for a full length feature film in his native Punjabi language. The movie created controversy when some demanded a ban on it, saying it maligned the police force by depicting its officers as drunkard, and corrupt. The movie was however well received amongst audience for its simple and honest humour.

The cartoonist, humorist, actor and the filmmaker is now a days focusing on acting as he is getting numerous offers from Bollywood producers as a comedian.
