The Laughing Club of India (2001)
fun, funny, and moving
9 October 2005
This is a lovely documentary. In many beautifully-shot scenes, Nair allows her subjects to tell how being part of a laughing club affected them -- in some cases, simply relieving stress, in others, helping to live through overwhelming grief and sadness.
It's amazing to see mixed groups of men and women, people of different classes, and of a wide age range out in parks and public places in the morning meeting to practice laughing together.
Insight into Indian life is a bonus of the film.
The laughter is infectious, and you may find yourself a convert to laughing yoga, and looking for a club of your own.
Altogether, the best and most memorable film on the compilation DVD on which it appears.
Have some fun -- see this.
