In this post, I am trying to pen down my all time favourite comedy movies of Bollywood , the movies that made us laugh like crazy
1. Half Ticket
This Madhubala/Kishore Kumar/ Pan starter movie is a laugh riot from the word go..Just imagine, the maverick Kishore Kumar who runs away from his house and tries to flee to far off city on a Half Ticket, hence behaving like a mentally retarded kid who falls in love with Madhubala and at the same time us running away from Pran. ..There is a cracker of a dialogue in the movie, when Madhubala enquires from Kishore Kumar. ..." Kya tum paagal ho" and Kishore Kumar retotrs :: "Nahi Nahi main paagal nahin hun, meraa dimaag kharaab hai"
2. Padosan
Padosan has to be in the list of the greatest laugh riots of Hindi film Industry..Produced by the legendary Mehmood, Padosan is a cult movie for any actor trying to learn nuances of comic timing in acting..Generations to come, can never forget the epic and hilarious "Song fight between Mehmood and Sunil Dutt / Kishore Kumar.Padosan is an institution in itself to learn the art of comedy in movie making
3. Chupke Chupke
Railway train and Railway station have never been decoded in any Hindi movie before like they were in Chupke Chupke....The way Dharmendra describes them in Chaste Hindi as "Bhak Bhak Laupat Gamini"...takes your heart away...Hrishikesh Mukherjee at his best, but of all the people Dharmendra was at his funniest best.......This was Dharamjis movie all the way...Professor Parimal Tripathi was a supercool character
4. Jaane bhi Do Yaaron
The Mahabharat scene will have you in splits every time you watch it..Hindi Cinemas greatest performers were sharing stage...Naseerudin Shah, Om Puri, Pankaj Kapoor, Stalwarts like Ravi Vaswani, Neena gupta added great support.Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron is Hindi Cinemas 1st political satire in the real sense
5. Peecha Karo
Not many people would have seen this, as the movie was not a great commercial success..I would rate this movie as a master of great Slapstick and loud comedy, but done with great panache..The inimitable Faruq Sheikh, Ravi Vaswani, Satish Shah and Amjad khan.. A true laugh riot from scene 1
6.Biwi o Biwi
Oh My god...I can see this movie, for another umpteen no of times..Again this movie was not commercially a very big hit, but one cracker of a movie...The Great Sanjeev Kumar was at his Hilarious best, like only he can..Rajinder Nath and the Hero who was made for comedy but did all the wrong roles...Randhir Kapoor, Raj Kapoors elder son.You will hill on to your stomach atleast once watching this one
7. Andaz Apna Apna
This one needs no introduction for sure..Raj Kumar Santoshis mega starrer,although wasn't a commercial success post it's release, but remembered for its fresh approach to slap stick and loud humour
8. Aankhein
Govinda and Kader Khan, both in double role..While this was an action movie with great humour, this finds a mention in the list purely because of Govinda outstanding work in some of the scenes in the 1st half
9. Khosla ka Ghosla
Some of the dialogues and One liners from this movie have already become part of common folk lore and lingo...Like Anupam khers advice to his elder son Bunty. ..."Hold the drink"
Aur the Name ChiraunjiLal Khosla"... a cult movie for our test and generation
10. Bheja Fry
Brilliant dialogues and engrossing screenplay, not to forget, the sheer chemistry of the performers....Bheja Fry belongs to Vinay pathak Completely,as the lovable and affable music afficionado, Bharat Bhushan...A sheer masterpiece of a movie.....Shot in one location and between 2 characters mainly, one hell of a laugh riot
The list is not exhaustive and be all...shall keep updating..Till then, keep laughing
