Golmaal: Fun Unlimited
The best film in the Golmaal franchise is without a doubt the first entry. The movie gained a cult following after its run on TV. The whole movie is available to watch on YouTube for free, so if you haven't already, check it out.
Sunday
An underrated comedy by Rohit Shetty. This movie featuring Ayesha Takia, Ajay Devgn, Irrfan Khan, Arshad Warsi is a comical ride from start to end. The plot also has a mystery going on, which is also engaging. The scene where the hero tries to impress the heroine at a cafe and fails at it has been replicated as it is in Rohit's subsequent film, Singham Returns.
Singham
Rohit started off with his cop universe with this Ajay Devgn starrer action film. The following epic scene in Singham went viral internationally. It is as campy as it gets and the world loves it for that.
Chennai Express
Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan teamed up with Rohit Shetty for this comedy. It has a decent story but is definitely funny The scene where Deepika Padukone talks in her sleep is hilarious AF.
Simmba
This Ranveer Singh starrer action comedy started off the cop-universe. The movie is funny, full of action and also emotionally dramatic. The mixed bag of genres works nicely.
Rohit has also directed Zameen, a movie about a plane hijack. This is the only all-the-way serious film in his filmography. We'd love to see him give another go at this genre. He surely has the potential. Happy birthday Rohit Shetty.
