Gabbar Singh's Chilling Laugh (Film: Sholay)
Who can forget Gabbar Singh (Amjad Khan)'s terrific introduction scene in Sholay? One of the best villains of all time in Bollywood, if not the best, makes a late entry in the movie, but he makes it worth it with a scene that has plenty of laughter but is chilling to the core.
Prem's Victorious Laughter (Film: Andaz Apna Apna)
When we talk about laughter, how can we forget one of the best comedy scenes of all time in one of the best humourous Bollywood movies ever? The above scene is the statement of how rib-tickling Salman Khan and Aamir Khan's funny bones are, something they don't get to use much these days!
'Madan Chopra's Dead' Laughter (Film: Baazigar)
The bloody climax of this Abbas-Mustan film is quite memorable for how it all happens. The villain, Madan Chopra (Dalip Tahil), thinks he has the upper hand over his opponent, Ajay/Vicky (Shah Rukh Khan), after stabbing him fatally and laughing over his deed. It's when Ajay begins his own laughter, when Madan realises that something is not right, but it's too late by then!
Naina Breaks Monotony (Film: Yeh Jawaai Hai Deewani)
Naina (Deepika Padukone) has had a very sombre life till this iconic scene, when Bunny (Ranbir Kapoor) takes her on top of a snow-laden mountain peak and asks to let herself out. Terrific performances from both Ranbir and Deepika.
The Laughter Club (Film: Khosla Ka Ghosla)
When we talk about laughter, how can we miss out on the laughter club? This hilarious scene at the start of the Dibarkar Banerjee movie is not just funny, but also manages to set up Khosla's dynamics with both his sons, as well as his new house. Which is why it makes sense that the movie ends with a laughter club too!
The Laugh Before The Death (Film: Rang De Basanti)
Laughter is supposed to be funny, but no one felt that in the final scene of Rang De Basanti. DJ (Aamir Khan) and Karan (Siddharth)'s final laughter surely sent tears down our cheeks.
The Audience Representation (Film: Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron)
Let's end this feature by mentioning another iconic comedy film and its most hilarious scene. Where it is not just the characters laughing (fake and real), but also the audience, both in the scene as well as the ones watching it, that is, us, are ripping their guts out!
