Kaalakaandi: Kaalakaandi might not have brought home big bucks but the movie is a delightful watch from beginning to end. Starring Saif Ali Khan in the lead role, the adult dark comedy delves into the three aspects of nature- life, death and karma. The story is about a terminally ill man, a redemption-seeking woman and two untrustworthy goons. Kaalakaandi will make you laugh and think at the same time.
Filmistaan: Despite having a 100 per cent rate on the movie review website Rotten Tomatoes, the 2012 movie Filmistaan failed to spread its magic amongst the audience. The hilarious tale follows the life of a wannabe actor Sunny, whose quest for starring in a star-studded movie, makes him land in trouble. Filmistaan revolves around how films can break cultural barriers and bring people closer. Embedded with satirical comedy, Fimistaan is a hidden gem.
Qarib Qarib Singlle: Late actor Irrfan Khan and actress Parvathy Thiruvothu lit the screens on fire with their free-flowing chemistry, sprinkled with some romance. This 2017 romantic comedy centres around two middle-aged people who meet on a dating app, as they embark on a road trip together. Filled with rib-tickling moments and an easy-breezy plot, Qarib Qarib Singlle is a feel-good film.
Mithya: Another underrated Bollywood comedy flick is Mithya. Boasting a cast ensemble of Naseeruddin Shah, Ranvir Shorey, Saurabh Shukla, Brijendra Kala, Vinay Pathak and Neha Dhupia, Mithya is a must-watch. The film takes you on the journey of an actor who finds himself in hilarious situations after impersonating a look-alike gangster.
Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro: Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, directed by Kundan Shah is not just a comedy film but it also paints a grim picture of society, in a light-hearted way. Headlined by Nasseruddin Shah and Ravi Baswani, the film brings you the tale of two friends who encounter corruption, shady deals and murder while trying to establish a photo studio.
