I have observed that Bollywood lacks good comedy movies like 3 idiots, Golmaal 1 , Golmaal 3, welcome, hera pheri etc in past few years. I haven't seen a really good comedy film in last few years which became a blockbuster and gave a genuine laugh.
Most of the recent comedy films
-
lack audience taste
-
no innovative jokes (some still use WhatsApp forward jokes )
-
have cringe content
-
Overacting by actors
-
actors lacking comedic timing and expressions
-
wrong casting. Like actors who are capable of doing comedy are ignored (like Sharman joshi , Kunal kemu , akshay kumar etc) or they are not doing it for some purpose.

i think comedy is one of the hardest genres to act AND to write, people often forget about the writing part. there are comedy movies out there, but the writing falls short, and if you put an actor who half asses acting, it’s bound to fail. also everyone has different styles of humor. i found bhediya to be funny, like i literally had tears in my eyes watching the first half of that movie, but i know people on here didn’t like that movie, so it also depends on personal style. and to top it all of, i don’t see people going to the theaters to watch a comedy movie (saying this as someone who lives in america). it’s seems very OTT.
For me, it was Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar. I had low expectations and that played a big role. I wasn't sure about the cast too, but the movie proved how a good director can make a difference.
Overall I think most of the Bollywood films released in 2021 were not good. But I'm curious, what would you guys pick as your favourite of the year? Here are the results from 2020 and 2019.
