Comedy In Bollywood

Mehmood is the first thought that will occur when you think of comedy in Bollywood. Comedy is a vital part of any film and a lot of films made entirely in comedy. Star like Ashok Kumar was a natural comedian. In the last whole movie would be a comedy, and there were directors like Hrishikesh Mukherjee, who were specialists in this kind of movie. Then slowly comedy began to take a back seat and now comedy is only part of the movie. At this time comedians as Johnny Lever, Asrani and Kadar Khan has made a mark for themselves.

During the 80s and early 90s it was time for stars like Govinda, who made a fortune by doing only comedy films. Now directors like Deepak Tijori tried their hands at comedy and made a remake of a Tamil film, but also bombed at the box office. Director Priya Darshan is the only one churning out comedy after comedy and it is also all hits. The audience loves Shah Rukh for his comedy in films like Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge and PARD. Salman Khan in did well for his sinking career with comedy film Maine pyar Kyon Kiya.
