Cast: Dharmendra, Bobby Deol, Sunny Deol, Anupam Kher, Neha Sharma Director: Sangeeth Sivan It's not even a key moment in the film, but the image of Dharmendra and an orangutan riding a scooter, swaying joyously to the tune of 'Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge', is a fair representation of the standard of comedy in 'Yamla Pagla Deewana 2'.
