Situations get really messy when the child's grandfather (the man's ex-father-in-law) falls in love with his disguised ex-son-in-law.If you are not a Kamal Hasan fan already, this movie will make you one.

They revisit their college days and recall the memories of their friend who inspired them to think differently, even as the rest of the world called them "idiots".Packed with loads of laughter, this film is one of the best movies of Aamir Khan. And don't you dare miss the Teacher's Day Speech.
Funniest character: Chatur Ramalingam - DirectorDavid DhawanStarsAnil KapoorGovindaJuhi ChawlaChaos ensues when a small time crook and a mental patient tries to win heart of a beautiful woman with comical outcomes.Govinda is noted to star in mainly comedies but the fun doubles when you have Anil Kapoor to join him.
Funniest character: Pappu Pager - DirectorFarhan AkhtarStarsAamir KhanSaif Ali KhanAkshaye KhannaThree inseparable childhood friends are just out of college. Nothing comes between them - until they each fall in love, and their wildly different approaches to relationships creates tension.A movie that will make you feel the way when your stomach hurts due to the jokes of your best friend.
Funniest character: Sameer - DirectorRajkumar HiraniStarsSanjay DuttArshad WarsiVidya BalanMunna Bhai embarks on a journey with Mahatma Gandhi in order to fight against a corrupt property dealer.Not as funny as it's predecessor Munnabhai MBBS, but still manages to give you tons and tons of laughter along with some great emotional moments.
Funniest character: Circuit - DirectorKundan ShahStarsNaseeruddin ShahRavi BaswaniBhakti BarveTwo photographers, who are employed by a magazine editor to expose the scandalous activities of the rich, come across corruption by a builder and accidentally photograph a murder.A cult classic with lots of comedy. Behold the Mahabharat scene.
Funniest character: Vinod Chopra - DirectorBasu ChatterjeeStarsAshok KumarVidya SinhaAmol PalekarA timid suitor seeks the help of a ruthless colonel to win the woman of his dreams when a bold young man begins to pursue her in this romantic comedy.A great romantic comedy. Always makes you fall in love with the characters whenever you watch it. Who said plain simple characters can not be interesting?
Funniest character: Arun - DirectorRamesh SippyStarsDharmendraSanjeev KumarHema MaliniLong-suffering heiress Seeta is treated worse than a servant by her abusive money-grubbing aunt. Meanwhile, her long-lost twin sister Geeta grows up to be a gutsy street performer. One day, the girls unintentionally swap places.Can a comedy movie get too old to be funny? I don't think so...
Funniest character: Geeta - DirectorKundan ShahStarsShah Rukh KhanSuchitra KrishnamoorthiDeepak TijoriA dreamer falls for a girl who is in love with someone else and tries to create a rift between her and the man she loves.Ever watched a movie which makes you laugh one moment and breaks your heart the other? This romantic comedy is that kind of a classic. Also, IMHO, this one's the best movie of Shahrukh Khan. Not that his other movies are not awesome, but this one just takes the cake. I strongly recommend this to anyone who's not a fan of Shahrukh Khan.
Funniest character: Sunil - DirectorHrishikesh MukherjeeStarsAmol PalekarBindiya GoswamiDeven VermaA man's simple lie to secure his job escalates into more complex lies when his orthodox boss gets suspicious.You must have seen a lot of comedies about twins, but a movie where a hero tries to act as his own twin brother, well that brings totally new packages of laughter. And how can I forget- "Buddha, hai ghar me?"
Funniest character: Lakshmanprasad - DirectorSingeetam Srinivasa RaoStarsKamal HaasanAmala AkkineniTinnu AnandAn unemployed graduate who coincidentally encounters a rich unconscious man, and takes over his lifestyle by keeping him a prisoner. However, he is in for a twist as a contract killer is after him, assuming him to be the affluent man.More popular by the name of Pushpak/Pushpaka Vimana, this is a silent black comedy. I think this is the best Kamal Hasan hindi-language movie ever!
Funniest character: Killer - DirectorJyoti SwaroopStarsSunil DuttSaira BanuMehmoodA simple man from a village falls in love with his new neighbor. He enlists the help of his musical-theater friends to woo the lovely girl-next-door away from her music teacher.Could even songs make a person laugh? Watch this movie and you'll know.
Funniest character: Master Pillai - DirectorImtiaz AliStarsShahid KapoorKareena KapoorTarun AroraA depressed wealthy businessman finds his life changing after he meets a spunky and care-free young woman.One of the few movies from Bollwood which can be truly classified into the Romantic Comedy genre of movies.
Funniest character: Geet - DirectorPankaj ParasharStarsSrideviSunny DeolRajinikanthTwins separated at infancy are brought up differently. One weak, one strong. One day, they end up at each others house. Their life is not the same anymore.One just can't say NO when Sri Devi wants to make you laugh. Her great comic timing is just one of her immense qualities as an actor.
Funniest character: Manju - DirectorHarmesh MalhotraStarsGovindaRaveena TandonKader KhanPoor Raja opens a fast food restaurant right opposite a five star hotel run by it's owner Singhania, earning his wrath. The wealthy hotel owner uses all his influence to remove Raja, but in vain. Things get worse for the wealthy man, when his daughter Kiran wants to marry the poor hotelier. The wealthy man refuses, leading to a confrontation and a condition - which Raja fulfills, he becomes rich virtually overnight, and proposes for the hand of Kiran. The wealthy hotelier reluctantly accepts him as his son-in-law, only to have Kiran elope with a man named Rahul.Ok, this is full of silliness and sadakchap comedy, but still, it always made my stomach ache due to laughing.
