It is sad story that none of
recent movies could grace the list. I cannot list some sense less movies made in
the name of comedy mainly by David Dhawan and Rohit Shetty. I am a big fan of
Priyadarshan. However, ‘Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro’ would have been topped the list if
I haven’t listed it in the offbeat section. Because, for me the film was one of
the best comedy ever made.
