This laugh a riot saw Aamir Khan and Salman Khan pairing up first time together on screen. Undoubtedly, director Rajkumar Santoshi was bang on with his screenplay and witty dialogues which had some of the best lines and gag that are used in movies to date.

Hera Pheri (2000) – Ranked 8th

This remake of a Malayalam hit served as the perfect beginning to the millennium in 2000. Made on a shoestring budget, this Priyadarshan directorial was a slow starter at the box-office but due to word of mouth the film caught like wild fire. The combo of Akshay Kumar, Suneil Shetty and Paresh Rawal spelt magic and actor Paresh Rawal’s Babu Rao Ganpat Rao Apte act continues to be remembered to date.

Hera Pheri
Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983) – Ranked 11th

This film might have not raked in the desired moolah upon its release but Kundan Shah’s debut directorial makes it to an all-time comedy classic list. Produced by NFDC on a shoe-string budget, the film was about two struggling photographers who get caught in the corrupt web of builders. The two scenes which made the film unforgettable were the corpse chase scene and the climax which involved a ‘khichdi’ of historic period dramas on stage.

3 Idiots (2009) – Ranked 15th

An adaptation of Chetan Bhagat’s novel - Five Point Someone, Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘3 Idiots’ was not just hilarious but a trend-setter and eye-opener to many of its audiences. Every scene was so diligently written that made it so memorable. Aamir Khan’s performance undoubtedly stood out but not to forget Boman Irani, Madhavan and Sharman Joshi’s support. This is a must watch for every comedy lover.

Chupke Chupke (1975) – Ranked 16th

Easily one of the best family comedy entertainers of the 70’s which had the Hrishida magic written all over it. With Dharmendra and Amitabh Bachchan at their peak this laugh-o-riot stood out that year among stalwart flicks like ‘Deewaar’, ‘Jai Santoshi Maa’, and ‘Sholay’. Though Amitabh had a pivotal role in the comedy but it was the combination of Dharmendra and Om Prakash which left the audiences in splits.

Munnabhai M.B.B.S. (2003) – Ranked 19th

Khosla Ka Ghosla! (2006) – Ranked 24th

This Dibakar Banerjee comedy was the sleeper hit of that year which told the story of how land grabbers are still prevalent in India and how the common man has to struggle to get back his property. Actors like Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Vinay Shukla and Ranvir Shorey added sheen to this small but funny tale. A must watch for simple and clean comedy lovers.

Angoor (1982) – Ranked 37th

Writer-director Gulzar’s take on Shakespeare’s ‘Comedy of Errors’ which had Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Varma playing double roles. Sanjeev’s comic timing was just brilliant and with ample support by Deven the film was a runaway success that year. Though the same concept made earlier in 1969 titled ‘Do Dooni Chaar’ with Kishore Kumar and Asit Sen in the lead failed, Gulzar felt the idea had tremendous potential and remade it in 1982.
