If you’ve watched the 1987 cult classic Jalwa, you know it’s not just action and swagger—it’s packed with unexpected moments of comedy gold. And nothing beats that hilarious scene where Naseeruddin Shah, playing the cool and confident undercover cop Kapil, finds himself in a bizarre yoga class with a very expressive guru and some highly confused students.

“Inhale confidence… exhale confusion!” – says the yoga guru.

Kapil: “Sir, main toh sirf cigarette chhodne aaya tha!”

Cue the laughter! The way Kapil tries to blend in—with zero yoga experience, surrounded by upside-down headstands and people chanting in 4 languages—is pure comedy chaos.

• One-liners: Naseeruddin Shah delivers punchy, sarcastic lines like a pro.

• Physical comedy: Ever seen a detective tangled in a lotus pose yelling for help? You have now.
