It is acting of Kangana Ranaut as Haryanvi Jatni Kusum Sangwan that makes the film worth watching.

It branched out into several sequels yet none was as funny as the original film.

Why is it Funny: Many of our readers said that PK deserves the top spot or at least deserves to be in Top 3. Yes PK is a great entertaining concept but you can see many similarities between PK and OMG Oh My God.

Aamir Khan’s acting as a Bhojpuri alien is a show stealer.

7. OMG – Oh My God!


top hindi comedy movies

Director: Umesh Shukla

Why is it Funny : Indian cinema is run by superstars. It is hard to imagine a film earning even 50 crores without a superstar in it. OMG Oh My God is one of those rare films that showed that a good film can make money at the box office without a superstar factor.

The unique storyline is shown on the screen in a better way. You will love Paresh Rawal’s comic timing. Yes, there is Akshay Kumar but it is the other characters who stole the show.

Funniest Scene: The court scene where Kanji uncover every Baba.

The sequel was even better than the original.

top hindi comedy movies

Director: Kundan Shah

Plot: While working for a newspaper, two photographers tries to uncover the corruption of a builder and few officials.

Why is it Funny: Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro is probably the most underrated Hindi comedy movie on this list. The film deserves a wide recognition yet many Hindi cinema lovers have not seen this gem of a film.

Kundan Shah’s satire on corruption is beautifully shown in the movie. Om Puri’s acting as Ahuja is brilliant. While the Mahabharat scene is one of the funniest scenes of Indian cinema.

good indian comedy movies

Director: Hrishikesh Mukherjee

Cast: Amol Palekar, Utpal Dutt, Deven Verma

Plot: To save his job Ram Prasad lies about a twin brother (Laxman Prasad Sharma) to his Boss Bhawani Shankar.

Why is it Funny: All the situational comedies that you see today are directly or indirectly inspired by Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s cult classic film Gol Maal.

Many Indian comedy films tried to duplicate the scenes of Gol Maal but failed. It was not only the brilliant direction of Hrishikesh but also the chemistry of Utpal Dutt and Amol palekar that made the film a cult classic.

Funniest Scene: When Bhawani Shankar thinks that he found the truth about Laxman Prasad Sharma.

Funniest Character: Bhawani Shankar and Ramparsad Sharma

Hindi Funny Movies

Director: Rajkumar Santoshi

Cast: Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Paresh Rawal, Karishma Kapoor, Raveena Tandon

Plot: Two Daydreamers, Amar, and Prem, plans to get rich by marrying the only daughter of Rich Indian tycoon.

Why is it Funny: If Aamir Khan and Salman Khan are paired in a film today then the film is guaranteed to earn at least Rs 150 Crore. It is hard to believe that there one and only film together hardly minted 8 crores at the box office.

Andaz Apna Apna failed miserably at the box office but it was able to gain a fan following that is the wet dream of every film director.

In fact, it is one of those rare films that you can watch again and again, and still, you will thoroughly enjoy it. It is the best Feel Good film in the history of Indian cinema.

Funniest Scene: When Teja tells his goon about ‘Where is Mark?’

Funniest Character: Crime Master Gogo and Amar Manohar

Hindi comedy movies

Director: Priyadarshan

Cast: Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Tabu, Asrani, Om Puri

Plot: Three men decides to take benefit of a wrong call and make huge money from it.

Why is it Funny: Personally I would have rated Hera Pheri as the funniest comedy film of India but the voters of our site voted another gem as the funniest film.

Priyadarshan crafted Hera Pheri so beautifully that you will enjoy each and every character of the film. The movie was released in the last century and this film paved way for modern comedies. It established careers of Akshay kumar as a comic actor. Even though it spawned a sequel but it was no match to Original.

Funniest Character: Baburao Ganpatrao Apte aka Babu bhaiya.

Plot: Two friends goes on a mission to find their long lost college friend Rancho who changed their life.

Why is it Funny: We rated 3 Idiots as the best Hindi comedy movies because of two reasons.

First, it is truly funny.

Secondly, it is educational.

Chetan Bhagat’s Five Point Someone novel was given a better version by the duo of Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani. Not only they satire on the modern education system of India but also shows how much Indian parents put pressure on their kids.

Funniest Scene: Speech of Chatur
