After the 2000s, a great Bollywood comedy film needs to have certain criteria. Most comedy films which come to our mind, stars Paresh Rawal, Johnny Lever, Rajpal Yadav and if possible Akshay Kumar in it. Whenever these people come together, the result is extraordinary and an epic comedy.
But today happens to be the birthday of Paresh Rawal, the most veteran actor among them and we are here to recommend you 5 comedy films starring the legendary actor you should never miss.
Hera Pheri Series- Prime Video
Prime Video is the only platform where both parts of Hera Pheri stream. However, Hera Pheri (2000) is streaming for free on Voot. Also, Phir Hera Pheri (2006) is on Netflix.
Both the films are beyond legendary, classic or any adjective can ever define. They are still the most prominent film in memes and never bore us after multiple rewatches. Paresh Rawal as Baburao Ganpatrao Apte steals the show with his incredible comic timing.
Doesn’t matter if you have watched the film before, it never fails to entertain.
Bade Miyan Chhote Miyan- Hotstar/Jio Cinema/Prime Video
The film starred Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda in titular roles. It is over the top, yet extremely funny film in which Paresh Rawal is unmissable. The film clashed against Kuchh Kuchh Hota Hai but it was an ideal clash. As both films came out to be blockbusters.
The highly unique music, dialogue delivery and plot keep the audience engaged and it is undoubtedly one of the most iconic comedies ever.
Hungama- Hotstar
Hungama starring Paresh Rawal, Akshaye Khanna, Rimi Sen and Shoma Anand is a pure cult classic. The epic fight between Paresh Rawal and Shoma Anand cracks up the audience every time.
It is unmissable and iconic, to say the least. However, we seriously discourage you to watch the second part which came last year.
Garam Masala- YouTube
One of the most underrated comedies of the 2000s is Garam Masala. The film starring Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav is meant primarily for a grown-up audience.
It has some hilarious sequences which must not be missed by any cinephile. Thus next time you feel low, don’t miss watching Garam Masala.
Chup Chup Ke- Netflix
Chup Chup Ke, hardly any film has a greater recall value than Chup Chup Ke. This movie is a gem which always is particularly famous for Rajpal Yadav. Still, Paresh Rawal’s brilliant act is unmissable.
The first half has a dose of comedy which is greater than many comedy films combined together. So Chup Chup Ke is a pure cult classic which refreshes you after multiple rewatches.
