Bollywood comedy movies – YouTube

 

While drama-filled motivational and inspirational films were always done right, We personally believe that Bollywood has evolved significantly when it comes to comedy movies. There was a time when comedy was all about lame jokes, sexist comments, fake background laughs, and even double meaning dialogues that were frankly, gross. Well, we have to accept that a lot has changed over time and Bollywood writers have a better approach towards comedy that involves realistic plots and sketches. Here are some of the best Bollywood funny comedy movies that we think you can watch and re-watch several times.
