I belong to the generation that grew up watching the Doordarshan (DD as it was called). That was the time when satire on various aspects of public life was viewed as a necessity. There were movies and shows that were filled with fun. The first movie that comes to mind - Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro, though the movie is serious one, there are certain scenes that were hilarious, and I laughed out loud then and even now. Jaspal Bhatti’s various shows that were aired on DD were amazing, Flop Show, Full Tension and Ulta Pulta.
I watch mostly movies in Telugu, some of the old movies – Missamma (1955), Mayabazar (1957) and Gundamma Katha (1962), which are considered as classics still make me laugh. I enjoy watching good comedy movies of actors like – Rajendra Prasad, Naresh and Allari Naresh. One of the iconic directors of Telugu movies Jandhyala is my favorite director as his movies always will have full length comedy.
Some of the movies I enjoyed watching – English - The Intern (2015) and in Malayalam – Kurukkan (2023).
I enjoyed watching 'Jane Bhi Do Yaro' and Jaspal Bhatti shows. A good fusion of Humour and satire.
