Many movies have come and gone under in the Bollywood cinema, some left their never forgetting mark, and some were left misunderstood. However, the most underworked genre in Hindi cinema is the horror genre.

There are quite a few movies in the Hindi Horror films area, but in the history of 100 Years of cinema, the movies are more than just up to the mark. The number of horrors isn’t just equivalent when compared to other genres. The Telugu Film Industry has created better and more numerous movies when compared to Bollywood.

Horror Comedy Movies Bollywood

We have a few films that deserve to be mentioned on the Best Bollywood Horror Comedy list.

Bhool Bhulaiya (2007)

Bhool Bhulaiya is a horror comedy film that stars Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Paresh Rawal, and Shiney Ahuja, directed by Priyadarshan. The remake of the Malayalam film Manichitrathazhu has also been made in Tamil Cinema (Chandramukhi) starring Rajnikanth. The movie has a lot of comedic elements paired with Paresh Rawal’s satires and Akshay Kumar’s witty comebacks. The movie was a huge success, and why wouldn’t it be with the amazing casting choices and the finest script. It is considered one of the finest pieces of Horror Comedy in Bollywood.

Golmaal Again (2017)

The 4th not-so-sequel of the Golmaal series, directed by Rohit Shetty, famous for his action direction movies, tried his hands at a horror comedy genre. The cast was monotonous except for the new addition of Parineeti Chopra and Tabu. As you can expect from a Rohit Shetty film, the film is dramatic and hyperbolic in every sense. Not giving away the climax of the film, the film is more comedy than horror. However, like every Golmaal film, it is enjoyable and a blast to watch.

Khilona Bana Khalnayak (1993)

Khilona Bana Khalnayak was originally titled Zapatlela (in Marathi). The movie stars Laxmikant Berde in the lead role, besides Mahesh Kothare as a CID Inspector and the film’s director. The movie revolves around a gangster Tatya Vinchu played by Dilip Prabhavalkar, running from the law. He uses black magic or something of sorts to transfer his soul into a ventriloquist’s doll (the mantra called “mrutunjay mantra”) to escape being arrested by a CID inspector. Laksha (Laxmikant Berde) owned that doll, and the wrath of the doll’s reign began when the lead role found out the truth about Tatya Vinchu.

Bhoothnath Returns (2014)

Bhoothnath Returns, the sequel of Bhoothnath, is a political satire portrayed comedically. The story is the standard parallel of the last film with a twist, with Bhoothnath (Amitabh Bachhan) coming back on earth as a ghost to scare children, owing to his reputation in the Bhoothworld of him being a sucky ghost. He comes back to frighten kids but ends up making a friend. A boy named Akhrot (Parth Bhalerao) can not only see him but isn’t afraid of him. Soon, both of them are caught victims in the web of a political scandal. Bhoothnath ironically takes part in the elections as a candidate, using the discrepancies of the Indian System. It is one of the Best Bollywood Horror comedies.

Hello Brother (1999)

Hello Brother is titled one of the most embarrassing films ever to hit the Hindi Cinema. The film casts actors like Salmaan Khan, Arbaz Khan, and Rani Mukherjee. However, the film gained a cult status and is funny periodically. Also, actors like Ninja Chaddha, Havalda Hatala, and Padoda breathed life into the film. Hello Brother, directed by Sohail Khan, was acquired from a Malayalam film Aayushkalam and is not on top of the Best Bollywood Horror Comedy list.

Go Goa Gone (2013)

The movie Go Goa Gone is the first zombie comedy movie in India. The film stars Saif Ali Khan, Kunal Khemu, Vir Das, Pooja Gupta, and Anand Tiwari, all in the lead roles, directed by Raj and D. K. Three burned-out friends who need a vacation decide to spend a holiday in Goa. They get invited to a rave party and, to their misfortune, are faced with their unexpected nightmare. They encounter zombies, turned this way by a Russian drug, and are stranded on the island.

Bhoot Bangla (1965)

The 7th film on the Best Bollywood Horror Comedy list is Bhoot Bangla starring Mehmood, Tanuja, and Nazir Hussain in main roles. The king of comedy, Mehmood, scripted and directed the film. Bhoot Bangla revolves around a girl (Tanuja) who is dissatisfied and is trying to investigate the murderous link between the killing of her father and uncle in the haunted house where she lives.

Chamatkar (1992)

Chamatkar is again a cult classic in the Best Bollywood Horror Comedy list starring Shah Rukh Khan as Sundar Srivastav, Naseeruddin Shah, and Urmila Matondkar. Shah is a betrayed ghost, formerly a vile gangster Marco. He is murdered by his own “loyal” man and is thought by his family to be on the run. His ghost meets a simple man of simple means (SRK), a high devotee of Hanuman, and can communicate with Marco’s ghost, and helps his soul get the redemption it requires.

Hum Tum Aur Ghost (2010)

Hum Tum Aur Ghost is another film that is famously added to the Best Bollywood Horror Comedy list. The film stars Arshad Warsi (Armaan), Boman Irani (Virendra Kapoor), and Diya Mirza (Gehna Sinha). Armaan has the potential to identify ghosts and can communicate with them; the gift-turned-curse burdens Armaan with the sense of liability to help ghosts attain salvation. Tired, he turns to alcohol but is soon met by another ghost Virendra, who is also seeking help. Will this time be different, for the better, or the same?

Nanu ki Jaanu (2018)

On the 10th number of the Best Bollywood Horror Comedy list is Nanu ki Jaanu starring Abhay Deol and Patralekha and direction by Faraz Haider. Abhay, a land mafia, “lands” a deal with a ghost which turns his life upside down. The film has its moments with both comedy and sentimental scenes. Nanu ki Jaanu did badly at the box office due to promotional engagements’ shortcomings. However, the film got satisfactory praise from the public.

Stree (2018)

Last but not least, the film on the Best Bollywood Horror Comedy list is Stree. The film stars Rajkumar Rao, Shradhha Kapoor, and Pankaj Tripathi. Stree is an unusual film and received a lot of praise from both the audience and critics. The ratings of this film have provoked us to vote it the best film in this particular genre.
