This review is not about 5 best Hindi comedy movies. It is difficult to choose, cos there are quite a few that can tickle that funny bone in you & make you roll in laughter.
And I must admit here that just the thought of the comedy movies I have seen brought a smile to my face. I will make a reference to a few movies that left an impression.
Padosan: This is a true laugh riot. Its the love story of a simpleton & a bit slow boy(Sunil Dutt) & the quick witted, sophisticated girl(Saira Banu). Superbly supported by Mehmood as the South Indian teacher of the girl and Kishore Kumar the music n love guru for the guy. I cannot imagine this film without these 2 suporting actors.
Chupke Chupke(the old one): This one is a typical Hrishikesh Mukherjee film. Very light hearted, easy-to-identify with characters and very good acting by the entire cast. I dont think I have tired of watching this movie whenever I have got the opportunity to do so.
Golmaal(the old one): starring Amol Palekar & Utpal Dutt, this one is very endearing. It proves the saying that all is fair in love & war where the hero wants to win the girl at any cost!
Khubsoorat: This one starring Rekha in the lead role, was like a breath of fresh air. It was a pleasure to see Shashikala, who normally is the bad one in a lot of films, do a good "bahu" role. Very sweet movie.
Bombay to Goa: This is among the first few films that Amitabh Bachchan acted in. His heroine is Aruna Irani. The film is about a girl who wants to make it big in the film industry but is blissfully ignorant of the "big bad world". She accidentally sees a murder and flees. The whole film revolves around what she goes through & how the hero saves her from the clutches of the villain.
Well, looks like I actually wrote about 5 films! But there are a few more that I would like to mention - Rajnigandha, Chalti ka Naam Gadi, Khatta Meetha, Hera Pheri.hmmm.can’t think of any more at the moment.
