Also, please note that almost all Hindi movies have Song and Dance numbers, as both Romance and Drama (plus Action) are the key ingredients of any Hindi movie. So, all the Hindi movies mentioned above in the list are typical Indian masala movies, with tadka maar ke (these Hindi words can be roughly translated as a bit of ‘masala (spiced-up) tempering’), which is done to add more flavour and aroma to the films. And this tadka-masala flavour of Hindi (Indian) movies is loved by its mass audiences.

We have seen all the comedy-drama movies mentioned above and we loved all of them. They are hilarious and perfect to watch. In case you wish to start watching these, then start with Hindi Medium, as it has the late Irrfan Khan, a terrific actor, missed by many fans. Anyway, watch all these Hindi language movies, they are typical Indian masala comedy movies, with all the flavours mixed in a perfect and not-so-perfect style.

Laugh & Enjoy!
