Long-Term Partnership

The Naseeruddin Shah & Satish Shah partnership

Their work runs across 3 decades of Hindi cinema. From Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983) to Main Hoon Na (2004). The work is uneven: Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (7.9) at one end, Agnichakra (3.2) at the other.

Mohan Joshi Hazir Ho! (1984, 7.5/10) is the underseen one in the catalogue. Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro is the one most viewers reach for.

The 1980s belonged to Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro; the 2000s to Main Hoon Na. Naseeruddin Shah acted in every film; Satish Shah acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
