Waisa Bhi Hota Hai Part II (Shit Happens ) is an Indian movie starring Arshad Warsi, Prashant Narayanan, Sandhya Mridul, and Anant Jog. It was Shashanka Ghosh's debut as director and the soundtrack was composed by Vishal Dadlani (of music director duo Vishal - Shekhar), Saibal Basu, Abhinav Dhar and Shibani Kashyap
Running in many parallel threads, the movie is in equal parts a comedy, satire, crime, and Bollywood masala film. Its own subtitle proclaims that it is a 'Not-normal Urban Indian film'
Despite having a very interesting story line and good direction, the film is most famous for two of its songs, Sajna composed and performed by Shibani Kashyap, and Allah ke Bande performed by Kailash Kher.
Allah ke Bande is set in the Sufi style, and played on the guitar; a delightful fusion that gives away director Shashanka Ghosh's music channel background. (Ghosh helped run Channel V in India)
The Part II in the film's name is yet another not normal thing in this movie. There is no Part I.
[edit] Synopsis
Puneet Sayal (Arshad Warsi) is a copywriter with a dream. Some Day, he will have earned enough to dump his job, and live peacefully in (hometown?) Nainital. Till the said dream materialises however, he's living in Bombay with his girlfriend Agni (Sandhya Mridul).
Things go asunder one day when he finds out his brother's been shot dead - A brother he's hardly acknowledged in the past. Agni finds out, and throws him out of the house. Puneet goes on a drinking spree that leads him to a park bench where he witnesses someone being shot. He doesn't know it yet, but this is the end of his life as he knows it.
He saves the injured man - a gangster called Vishnu (Prashant Narayanan)- and the act lands him squarely in the middle of Bombay's famed gang wars.
The war between two ganglords - Ganpat (Anant Jog)and Gangu (Pratima Kazmi) is a second thread in the film. Ganpat is the dominant kingpin, and Gangu is the perpetual second-in-place who's never given up her dreams of displacing Ganpat as top don.
