Free Guy

Ryan Renold starrer Free Guy is a perfect oscillation between action-comedy and a stealthy rom-com. Free Guy is an outright Ryan Reynolds film. Wide-eyed and poker-faced, he is fun to watch. Judie Comer, as his love interest, is strikingly impressive. And Utkarsh Ambudkar, as Mouser the problem solver, Taika Waititi, and Joe Keery, are all-natural and charismatic.

Khosla Ka Ghosla

An underrated comedy, the 2006 Khosla Ka Ghosla, not only makes for a good laugh but is also a relatable, feel-good film.

Jolly LLB 2

Even though the film is an earnest attempt to showcase the world of lawyers and their battle for justice, it’s surprisingly funny and filled with witty humour by Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Huma Qureshi, and others. Watch it for a good story, and even better comedy, y’all.

Kesu Ee Veedinte Nadhan

Simple yet smart and hilarious. Kesu Ee Veedinte Nadhan revolves around Kesu and his family. Starring Dileep and Kavitha Ranjhini in lead roles, the story looks at the idea of how fortune favours the good with snappy and fun-filled family moments.
