If you find yourself saying “Ye Baburao ka style hai”, “Ladki ka chakkar Babu bhaiyya”, or “Uthaa le re baba” very often, there’s a high chance you have the Hera Pheri fever. And I don’t blame you. Most of us have got it. We’ve grown up watching these films, whether it’s Hera Pheri or Hera Pheri 2, aka Phir Hera Pheri. But now, let me be honest: After all these years, Hera Pheri 3 feels like that flaky friend who always says “Bas 5 minutes!” but keeps you waiting for years. Sometimes it’s just normal delays, sometimes it’s a different cast, and now there’s a Hera Pheri 3 controversy? Paresh Rawal, aka our beloved Babu Bhaiyya, has quit? And now Akshay Kumar’s production house is suing him?
Well, all of this is a little too much for my poor little heart. And to be honest with you, right now, it seems like things are going in our favor. At this rate, we might never get a Hera Pheri 3. But hey, the heart wants what it wants, right? So, while you and I wait for some positive news on Hera Pheri 3, let’s watch some of the best comedy movies online! Here are my top picks. And mind you, you might have seen a lot of these, so have I, but they definitely have a re-watch value. So, without further ado, let’s check out the 10 hilarious comedy movies to watch on ZEE5.
10 Best Comedy Movies to Watch While Waiting for Hera Pheri 3
1. Dhamaal
What do you get when you mix four out-of-luck idiots with a hidden treasure and Sanjay Dutt as a grumpy cop? Pure, unfiltered chaos! Dhamaal is that timeless comedy that proves slapstick never gets old. Every scene, from Iyer’s intro to the epic climax, is laugh-out-loud gold.
2. Welcome Back
Uday and Majnu bhai are back in this sequel, and they’re still trying to leave their bhai-giri behind. But when a new suitor enters the picture for their other sister, Ranjana, all hell breaks loose—again in Welcome Back! Add Nana Patekar’s don-wannabe-actor routine and Anil Kapoor’s smooth swagger with John Abraham’s macho avatar, and you’ve got a rollercoaster of laughs.
3. Luv Ki Arranged Marriage
The newest addition to the comedy club, Luv Ki Arranged Marriage, brings generational drama and romance together, with a hilarious twist. While fixing their kids’ wedding, the parents fall in love. But then, so do the kids. And that’s when things spiral into a delightful mess. It’s fresh, funny, and an absolute must-watch if you love watching quirky family comedies.
4. Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari
Set in the ’90s, this film follows Suraj, a dairy-farm-owning bachelor. Then there is Mangal, a nosy wedding detective who’s out to ruin his rishta. Now Suraj must dodge Mangal at any cost. Starring Manoj Bajpayee and Dijit Dosanjh, Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari is full of retro charm, cultural quirks, and comic punches.
5. Ghoomketu
If you enjoy meta-comedy and films that revolve around the crazy business of making films, then Ghoomketu is your jam. Nawazuddin Siddiqui plays an aspiring writer from a small town who lands in Mumbai. Meanwhile, Anurag Kashyap plays a bumbling cop on his trail. It’s wacky, warm, and weird in the best way possible.
6. Happy Ending
This one’s for the rom-com lovers. Happy Ending pokes fun at every Bollywood cliché in the book. It features Saif Ali Khan as a commitment-phobic writer and Ileana D’Cruz as his no-nonsense counterpart, who is also, by the way, commitment-phobic. Will they find love in each other? Happy Ending is truly a smart comedy that doesn’t take itself too seriously. And I guess, that’s what makes it so funny.
7. Entertainment
What happens when a struggling man finds out he has inherited millions—only to discover the sole beneficiary is a dog named Entertainment? You get a goofy yet heartwarming ride! Akshay Kumar and a golden retriever make for the most unexpected comedy duo. Dogs and dad jokes? Count me in.
8. Phata Poster Nikhla Hero
Shahid Kapoor as a mama’s boy who accidentally becomes a fake cop? Sold. Phata Poster Nikhla Hero is a masala entertainer with flying kicks, filmy drama, and full-on fun. It’s the perfect throwback to the good old days of over-the-top Bollywood comedy.
9. Golmaal Returns
While we wait for Hera Pheri 3, we can’t ignore Rohit Shetty’s comic masterpieces, right? The Golmaal series is amazing, but my favorite has to be this madcap sequel. With miscommunication, mistaken identities, and Ajay Devgn’s dry wit, Golmaal Returns is an absolute riot from start to finish.
10. Khilari 786
Action meets absurdity in Khilari 786. Akshay Kumar plays the dual role of a real cop and a fake cop who falls while falling for a don’s sister. Sounds crazy, right? Well, it’s exactly this chaos that makes it worth watching. With over-the-top punchlines, Khiladi 786 is a loud, colorful comedy film. It’s the kind of film you watch with popcorn and zero logic.
Watch the Best Comedy Movies Online on ZEE5!
You know what’s my final verdict? Hera Pheri 3 can wait, laughter cannot! And that’s why, while we await the return of our favorite trio and their legendary confusion, we need to watch other comic gems. These Hindi comedy films are here to remind us that Bollywood comedy is alive, kicking, and ridiculously funny. So grab your snacks, gather your gang, and let the laughter marathon begin as you watch comedy movies online on ZEE5!
