Summer Of ‘92 (based on actor Innocent’s anecdotes) tries really hard to achieve this through a combination of slapstick and scatalogical humour with intermittent jokes at the expense of a character’s appearance.

So when a humour specialist like Priyadarshan uses hasya to make a flat comedy starring Yogi Babu, there’s no fresh interpretation of the emotion beyond the thought that it is a film genre and that the audience must laugh while watching it. Some of them simply chose to use their emotion as a broad springboard to make a shorter version of the film they would make anyway.

What kept me going through a day-long binge of Navarasa was to see how some of our biggest filmmakers have chosen to interpret the emotions they were given.
