Irrfan in Yeh saali zindagi : Irrfan delivers a sucker punch with his acting chops as well as his narration. His conversations with Saurabh Shukla is one of the highlights of this film. It’s ironical that Irrfan’s name always conjures up an image of a serious character artiste while in reality, he has breathed life to enviable comic performances as well – Yeh Saali Zindagi being a case in point.
