HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | BOLLYWOOD Comedies ruling the roost in Bollywood29th Nov 2005 22.22 IST By Aparajita Ghosh Comedy films have turned out to be money-spinners at the box-office this year. Despite some hard-hitting films like Black and Sarkar , it is the light-hearted comedy No Entry that has emerged as the biggest Bollywood hit of the year 2005. 
Comedy certainly seems to have become a serious business for Bollywood producers. Last week’s release Deewane Hue Pagal is drawing good crowds to the theatres despite the fact that the preceding weeks saw the release of two major comedy films, Garam Masala and Shaadi No. 1 . Garam Masala seems to have suited the audience palate, while ‘Shaadi No. 1’ has failed to click. Over the year, Bollywood has seen a spate of comedies of which the ones that stood out were Maine Pyar Kyon Kiya , Bunty Aur Babli and No Entry . Says a trade analyst: “Year 2006 has been very different. Traditionally, one gets to see either romantic or action movies taking the limelight. But save for a few average romantic grossers in this year, it is comedies that have dominated the box-office. The reason partly is that the quality of comedy in films has improved. It is no more in-your-face slapstick with nonsensical humour.” In fact, comedy seems to be working so well at the box-office that filmmakers like Vikram Bhatt (who mainly made thrillers), Anees Bazmee (the maker of ‘No Entry’) and Indra Kumar (who made romantic movies) are veering towards hilarious films. Bazmee has already announced his next movie, ‘Welcome’, a comedy starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif . Indra Kumar – he made the successful comedy Masti – is now directing another one titled Pyare Mohan. And the coming month will see the release of more comedies. On the anvil are Antara Mali’s Mr. Ya Miss and Sujoy Ghosh’s Home Delivery . ‘Mr Ya Miss’ is about a man who is reborn as a woman. ‘Home Delivery’ is about a column writer who goes on to become a scriptwriter and tastes success by using his cleverness. The two movies would release on December 2.
