Kanjoos - the Miser

Synopsis:
Molieres classic comedy Kanjoos (Hindi for miser) is transported from 17thC France to modern India. In the money-mad maelstrom of modern Mumbai lurks Harjinder makhi choos ("flea-sucking miser"). A man obsessed with hoarding his wealth according to Gandhian principles of relentless self-sacrifice. He hates spending money, whether on his household or his children, who are desperate for marriage and the fashionable Bolly life-style of Mumbai. This new version of Moliere's classic farce is a comedy for our times.
