Even though the first one is a hilarious film in its own right, it was surprisingly well researched, if otherwise flawed, for its pre-Internet usage time, thus it spawned a similar Tamil Kollywood adaptation which in turn begat a lighter and softer but more distant Bollywood remake. It also helps that the otherwise notoriously similar theme songs for all three films are hearty gems.
Say hello to new things such as the smokeless Popeye and other around the world innovations!
