Siddique Lal's family comedy thrillers rocked theaters in the nineties. Theirs was a story-telling style in which exaggerated things happen in ordinary families and tell them as a thriller with humor. Films where things get tangled up out of misunderstandings and get complicated in the climax where all the knots get untied and end up being a happy ending have attracted people a lot. This novel is such a movie story, a family comedy thriller.
