Please recommend me some light comedy family films.

Thanks.

My guess is you've already seen these movies but it is good to make sure.

(1) Chupke Chupke (Dharmendra was a great comedian)
(2) Angoor
(3) Padosan (Kishore Kumar's best comedy - very good movie)
(4) Gol Maal (1979 version)
(5) Pati Patni Aur Woh (not purely comedy - but excellent movie)
(6) Hungama (2001 - not a fan of today's movies but this was very good)

Btw...you can watch a lot of Mehmood comedies (not exactly my cup of tea) and other classics like Suraj, Tumse Achcha Kaun Hai, Evening in Paris, Chote Nawab (you can guess my theme with these movies lol) on rajshri dot com.

Some more if you don't mind Black and white movies. Some of these are not pure comedy but light
family oriented and fun to watch.

Chalti ke naam gaadi
Chori Chori old Raj Kapoor- Nargis version.
Albela (old) Bhagwan = Geeta bali
Kisi se na kehna - This is colour with Deepti Naval and Farook Sheikh
Victoria 203

What!!! Not even a cursory mention of

Azad

Koh-i-Noor

Ram Aur Shyam

and you call that a list?????

*furious Noorie

I know the basic story line of Ram Aur Shyam. Majority of it is NOT comedy. Of course there are antics where the not-so-shy Dilip Kumar gets mixed up with the shy Dilip Kumar and teaches Pran a lesson - but this is a minority of the movie.

As for Kohinoor - is even half of that movie comedy? I'm very fond of Meena Kumari. If so - I'll order it myself. My suspicion is there are a few comedic moments but no more. That is what I gathered from the story line. Can't believe they classified Sholay as a comedy movie - even if it had that Mausi ji scene!

Good pick on Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. Good entertainment and one of my favorite songs "Ek Ladki Ti Bheegi Baghi Se...Mili Ek Ajnaji" - you gotta love the SDB-Kishore combination.

Noorie,
Azad I saw a really long time ago and don't remember much, although it is on my list to watch.

Kohinoor I have yet to see ?

But I am surprised, as DK fan, you picked Ram Aur Shaym over say Gopi or Leader

I certainley did not mean to Ignore DK but I gave my list in a hurry and for comedy type

they are a better choice IMO

[Unregistered_050208]

What would you call that?

There are just as many scenes where Pran is torturing the shy Dilip Kumar. Scenes like those are the opposite of comedy. Not what I call "light".

You're right - those comedy movies were entertaining! Some of my favorites

Gopi is not a comedy movie. There is a clear distinction among full comedy movies like Padosan, Chupke Chupke, Angoor and movies like Ram Aur Shyam & Gopi which have just a few comedy scenes but a lot of not-so-light scenes.

So what's the reason for omitting Half-Ticket from your list? Salil C not quite to your taste?

A bowl of piping hot chicken soup is highly recommended for a feverish temperament. Would you like to have some now?

Sadhu Aur Shaitaan ( watch it 4 the corpse in the taxi scenes )

Shaukeen ( Ashok Kr, Utpal Dutt and A.K.Hangal )

Perhaps it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to resume this conversation when you’re better acquainted with the subtleties of the Urdu zubaan.
