( ( ( in cinemascope ) ) )

   Some people were confused by the intricate comic routine that the lesser actors of "Mujhe Meri Biwi Se Bachaao" were forced to engaged in.  This routine is known as "Gimme the briefcase," and if you didn't quite understand what happened (or why it was so funny), here are the essentials, in 7 steps (with a bonus 8th step at the end).

   While you may consider using this guide to put on your own "Gimme the briefcase" routine at home, please be aware that it is probably under copyright by the lesser writers of "Mujhe Meri Biwi Se Bachaao," and -- what's more -- it is only to be performed by semi-professionals under duress.

2. Vijay to Rocky's girlfriend: "Gimme that briefcase!"
3. Cockroachy husband to Vijay: "Hey, gimme that briefcase!"
4. Rocky to Vijay: "Gimme that briefcase...or else!"
5. Cockroachy husband to Anuradha: "Gimme that briefcase back!
