Comedy Hindi films that will make your tummy hurt
Four unlucky friends set off on a journey to Goa, till they receive a tip about a hidden treasure. A cop waiting to arrest them also gets to know about it and each of them set off on their individual journey to reach the treasure. This journey is filled with more downs than ups but promises you unlimited laughter.
The iconic trio of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte (Paresh Rawal), Raju (Akshay Kumar) and Shyam (Suniel Shetty) continue their journey in the midst of poverty. This is thanks to Raju's '21 din mein paisa double' scheme. Throughout the film, the trio finds ways to earn the money back, only to hit a dead-end. When they are sitting on millions, the dumb lot does not realize it. Will destiny ever be by their side? The same is waiting to be explored in upcoming Hera Pheri 3.
Again a story about four friends except this time, it is not about money. The friends seek shelter and a place to hide after being unable to recover a loan. There is a big truth waiting to be uncovered and like always, it is the journey towards the finale which makes the movie a fun watch.
Rajiv (Akshay Kumar) and Sanjana (Katrina Kaif) fall in love. The catch? His family does not want gangsters and Sanjana's only family aka her half-brother is a dreaded don. Chaos follows as the couple hopes to get married but faces one hurdle after another. For the viewers, though, it is laughter all the way.
A trio, part of a theatre group, visit London, only to find out that they are falsely charged with murder. They now have to find ways to prove their innocence, while fleeing from the cops who refuse to believe it was all a big misunderstanding. The events of this film leave you in splits every few minutes, thus making it one of the most iconic comedy films from Bollywood.
