The latest to join the bandwagon is Vipul Amrutlal Shah's Action Replayy. Based on a musical play, the flick brought in a retro Diwali for families who thronged PVR on a sparkling Friday leaving the audiences in splits with its witty gags. The film left spectators blushing and beaming which was evident in the faces of those who ventured out of their thrones for munchies at intermission.
