Mi tío
The film draws much inspiration from the works of Jacques Tati; Bakshi arrives at the party in a Morgan three-wheeler which may suggest Monsieur Hulot's car in "Monsieur Hulot's Holiday". However, it was not the same car (Salmson AL3). The entire film storyline is reminiscent of the Royal Garden restaurant sequence of "Playtime", and the comedic interaction with inanimate objects and gadgets parallels several of Tati's films, especially "Mon Oncle".
