Whether you’re a fan of old-school charm or more recent rollercoasters of ridiculousness, here’s a curated list of the top 10 Bollywood comedy movies that you can rewatch endlessly—and still laugh just as hard.

1. Hera Pheri (2000)

When it comes to Bollywood comedy, Hera Pheri is the gold standard. Starring Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Paresh Rawal, this film revolves around three broke guys who accidentally get involved in a kidnapping case. The film’s chaotic energy, hilarious misunderstandings, and iconic dialogues like “Utha le re baba!” have earned it cult status.

Why Watch: Paresh Rawal’s performance as Baburao is legendary.

2. Andaz Apna Apna (1994)

Aamir Khan and Salman Khan team up in this riotous tale of two clueless men trying to woo a rich heiress. What makes it legendary? The supporting characters—Teja, Crime Master Gogo, and Robert—who have become meme material over the years. It's a film that flopped at first, only to become one of India’s most beloved comedies later on.

Why Watch: Crime Master Gogo, Teja, and a never-ending list of iconic one-liners.

3. Chupke Chupke (1975)

This classic from Hrishikesh Mukherjee is a masterclass in subtle, witty comedy. Dharmendra plays a botany professor who pretends to be a driver to prank his in-laws, and Amitabh Bachchan delivers a cool, composed performance as his friend. A refreshing break from loud humor, Chupke Chupke proves that language itself can be funny.

Why Watch: Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan, and lots of clean language-based humor.

4. Gol Maal (1979)

Another gem from Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Gol Maal stars Amol Palekar as a man who lies to his strict boss to get a job—and ends up inventing a fake twin to cover his tracks. With its clever writing, classic mustache gags, and family-friendly vibe, this film remains a crowd favorite.

Why Watch: Relatable middle-class humor with top-notch writing.

5. Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003)

Sanjay Dutt plays a gangster who enrolls in medical college to fulfill his father’s dream. What follows is a heartfelt yet hilarious journey that introduced us to “jaadu ki jhappi” and the unforgettable Circuit (Arshad Warsi). It’s the kind of comedy that leaves you smiling long after the credits roll.

Why Watch: “Jaadu ki jhappi” and the unbeatable Circuit-Rancho duo.

6. Dhamaal (2007)

This one’s all about four lazy guys chasing treasure across India. Expect over-the-top performances, ridiculous situations, and nonstop laughs. Dhamaal is the kind of movie you watch with friends when you're in the mood for something completely bonkers and lighthearted.

Why Watch: Pure, unfiltered madness from start to finish.

7. Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007)

Though it’s technically a psychological thriller, Bhool Bhulaiyaa earns its place here thanks to Akshay Kumar’s comedic timing. His character brings levity to the film with hilarious monologues and physical comedy—right in the middle of haunted-palace drama. It’s spooky and funny in equal measure.

Why Watch: “Manjulika” meets monologues and mayhem.

8. Welcome (2007)

What happens when gangsters try to go legit and marry their sister into a respectable family? Total chaos. Welcome is packed with laugh-out-loud moments, thanks to brilliant performances by Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor. The art gallery scene? Iconic.

Why Watch: Majnu Bhai’s art gallery scene alone is worth it.

9. Padosan (1968)

This old-school musical comedy features a love triangle, mistaken identities, and a legendary song battle between Kishore Kumar and Mehmood. If you enjoy exaggerated characters, dramatic antics, and infectious songs, Padosan is a must-watch.

Why Watch: Kishore Kumar is at his funniest and most unhinged.

10. 3 Idiots (2009)

While not a traditional comedy, 3 Idiots blends humor with deep life lessons. Aamir Khan leads a talented cast in this coming-of-age college tale that features pranks, pressure, and priceless one-liners. It’s as smart as it is funny—and incredibly rewatchable.

Why Watch: A mix of deep emotion and hearty laughs.
