David Dhawan celebrated his 60th birthday on Sunday and actually managed to cause a minor Twitter showdown between stand-up comedian and YouTuber Karan Talwar (who goes by the handle @BollywoodGandu), Milap Zaveri (the man who has written 'classics' like Masti, Grand Masti and Heyy Baby) and Vivek Agnihotri who Wikipedia describes as an avante-garde director, producer and writer but is best remembered for The Usual Suspects rip-off Chocolate. 

Now Bollywood is an industry that really sticks together through thick and thin, as we witnessed during Salman Khan's 'hit-and-run' trial case. So when Milap Zaveri, tweeted: “"Happy birthday to the undisputed No 1 KING of comedy David Dhawan sir! Grew up loving his films! Lucky to have worked with him n learnt!", Karan Talwar had to point out that it was a typical Bollywood reaction which couldn't differentiate between quality and quantity.

Vivek Agnihotri soon joined the fray claiming that sum total of quality that existed in all Indian stand-up acts was lesser than David Dhawan's floppest (sic) movie in quality. What followed were some cheat potshots
