De De Pyaar De: Is Ajay Devgn the King of Comedy? Here’s How His Last 10 Comic Movies Performed at the Box Office!
Ajay Devgn, once considered a serious action star, is now popular in the business of making people laugh.
After giving a big hit in Total Dhamaal earlier this year, Ajay Devgn returns to the genre of comedy with his next, De De Pyaar De. While Total Dhamaal's humour relies on the slapstick kind, De De Pyaar De is more of a romcom. The movie is written by Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety fame Luv Ranjan and is directed by debutant Akiv Ali. Rakul Preet Singh and Tabu are the female leads in the film, with the supporting cast consisting of Jaaved Jaaferi, Jimmy Sheirgill and Alok Nath.

It is a strange observation that Ajay Devgn, once considered a serious action star, is now popular in the business of making people laugh.

Why, Ajay's biggest hit in his career - Golmaal Again - also happens to be a comedy. Here's looking at the last 10 films of the National Award-winning superstar and how they performed at the box office.

However, Devgn has also given some big hits with other directors like Indra Kumar (Total Dhamaal), Ashwni Dhir (Son of Sardaar, Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?). With the positive reception the trailers and songs of De De Pyaar De have been getting, we expect another hit for Ajay. What say?
