We thought of making your weekend a lot more fun. From downright brazen to charmingly silly-here are 10 of Bollywood’s Best Comedies you can totally rely on to keep you rolling on the floor laughing.
Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron
This cult classic is a satire on the dark side of politics, media and bureaucracy. Director Kundan Shah managed to keep the tone light while bringing up serious issues. The talented star cast of actors Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri, Pankaj Kapur, Satish Shah, Satish Kaushik and Neena Gupta brought justice to their roles with brilliant performances. If you are an old soul and love a mix up of seriousness with humour, this movie is for you.
‘Padosan’ released in 1968 is the story of a simple village guy played by Sunil Dutt who falls in love with his neighbour Saira Banu. To woo her, he enlists the help of his musical-theatre friends. The film has some of the most famous comedians of its time – Kishore Kumar, Mehmood, Mukri, Raj Kishore and Keshto Mukherjee. This drama filled comic venture is sure to keep you occupied on a rather dull day.
You might have seen the damsel in distress act over million times but a cool hunk in distress? Yes, Akshay Kumar brings the character live in this classic directed by Priyadarshan with clever jokes and quips. His character plays around with a rather serious and decent Shyam (Sunil Shetty) and a kind & hilarious garage owner (Paresh Rawal). From beginning to end, the movie is an out and out entertainer, full of comical incidents.
Deven Verma and Sanjeev Kumar were seen in dual roles in 1982 comedy ‘Angoor’, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s play ‘The Comedy of Errors’. The movie is a super hit comedy that revolves around mistaken identities. Power-packed performances and a confusing plot (but in a positive sense) make this movie a must watch. Every single role in the movie is so well crafted that it will leave you in splits.

5. Gol Maal
This 1979 Hrishikesh Mukherjee directed masterpiece is in the golden books of Hindi cinema. The young Amol Palekar gets a job with a petty boss who thinks a man’s moustache and his character are closely interrelated. To keep his boss happy, Amol gets a fake one but the real fun starts when he had to invent his twin after getting caught without a stache by his boss. The funky jingle ‘golmaal hai bhai sab golmaal hai’ wouldn’t let the smile fade from your face.
Andaz Apna Apna is a 1994 Hindi comedy film directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, starring Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Raveena Tandon, Karisma Kapoor and Paresh Rawal in the lead roles. The movie has emerged as a cult film over the years. From dialogues to characters, the film is iconic in more ways than one. The character of Teja is oh so famous among people of every age group. One word to describe the movie is ‘Hilarious’.

7. Khichdi- The Movie
Khichdi: The Movie is a Hindi comedy film, directed by Aatish Kapadia. It stars Anang Desai, Supriya Pathak, Rajeev Mehta, Nimisha Vakharia and Jamnadas Majethia in the lead roles. It also features cameos from Farah Khan and Satish Shah. The movie is definitely far from the reality but will surely make you laugh every single minute while watching it. Over the top, silly and light-hearted drama is exactly what you need for a day full of laughter.

8. Satte Pe Satta
An action-comedy film released in 1982,‘Satte Pe Satta’ is the story of seven brothers. Ravi (Amitabh) is the eldest of seven brothers. He falls in love with Indu(Hema Malini) and then begins the fun series of events of their journey from unkempt, ill-mannered brats to sophisticated, clean beings. The film has Amitabh in double roles and its great fun to watch the family banter. This classic never gets too old for the taste.

9. 3 Idiots
This Raju Hirani directed film broke the record of the highest grossing film at the time. The plot involves a clever take on students and their parents’ mentality of ‘following the crowd’ – in this case, blindly choosing engineering as a career. The film stars Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, R Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Omi Vaidya and Boman Irani. The movie alongside humour and fun also conveys a strong message of following our real interests rather than doing something that is considered to be good by the society.
Released in 1975, this film is a must-watch for the fans of the comedy genre. The film stars Dharmendra, Sharmila Tagore, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan in lead roles. Dharmendra essays the role of Professor Parimal who becomes a driver Pyaremohan Ilahabadi as a part of playing practical jokes on his wife’s family. Chupke Chupke is a classic example of a film where you smile almost all the way through. The great act by Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra will leave you wanting for more.
Now that you have the list and the reason, plug in and watch them all. Let’s laugh a little more this weekend. After all, a lot of laughter even everyday doesn’t hurt 😉
