Each year Bollywood comes with dozen movies in the theatre but only few movies do better or average.  Directors come with different plots like multi starrer movies to non commercial movies. Some Movies manage to encapsulate all the right ingredients to create hit films which may even go on to become classic. Here the list of top three  films from Black Comedy Movie Peepli Live to full Masala Movie “Dabang” which left their remarks in Hindi film Cinema.

Peepli showcased the real India: the rural rot, the yawning rural-urban divide, the vote-bank politics, the out-of-sync bureaucracy, political class, the TRP-lusting media and the total insensitivity towards real people, real problems, and real solutions for a real India. 
Peepli live come out of the Amir Khan’s Production house. Anusha Rizavi has directed this movie very beautifully which leaves a hard core message to the society and Indian Media with comedy. This is a hard hitting satire about the state of farmer suicides in rural India. Only a couple of directors have the ability to take a well written script and churn it into prime time entertainment which not only sends a strong message but also manages to rake in good money at the box office. Peepli was the first Indian movie to make it to the Sundance film festival in USA. This movie has taken up two important issues, farmer’s suicide and how Indian Media especially electronic media is presenting these issues in front of the society. No star in this movie, which was also a great challenge for Anusha Rizvi but all actors acted superb and made it a hit at Box office. This Movie entertained and educated Indian Society, politics and Media as well.

“Munni Badnaam Huyi” rocked the dance floor and Salman Khan made noise as he released Dabang. Just like Wanted, Dabangg is an all-out Salman film, specifically tailored for the superstar and it has super hit written all over it. Salman Played Chulbul Robinhood Pandey, a cop in Uttar Pradesh who is Courageous but also has some negative means “quality the sometime good but mostly bad guy’, the right mix for our present times”. Dabang is shot and well produced; the scenes are constructed tightly even as the story telling has a larger than life grow to it, helped by the significant western style background score. Sonakshi Sinha looks sultry and makes a very assured debut.  Sonu Sood is quite good, while Arbaaz puts in a solid performance. Dabangg is pure chavanni chhap entertainment, easy to ridicule but the toughest to create. Before Dabangg hit screens the world was hooked to "Munni Badnaam Huyi" which is one of the hottest item songs on the scene.

Back with laughs, Arshad Warsi, , Ajay Devgan, Tusshar Kapoor, and ShreyasTalpade brought us the third installment of Golmaal. Golmaal 3 is an ideal fun ride with thrice the enjoyment and gratification, thrice the magic and thrice the hilarity. The movie has lot of twists and turns with each twist give you laughter and each turn gives you more laughter. Films don't often have sequels; the cast and crew of Golmaal were brave to create G 3. The risk was worth taking because Golmaal 3 earned great reviews and pulled in a huge crowd! The film was able to bring us new jokes and more star power as Bebo and Mithun joined in on the fun. In an industry where sequels rarely work, the Golmaal franchise seems to have struck gold with its formula of making sense out of nonsense. If Golmaal-l was sheer fun, the second in the series took a slight dip in terms of merriment. AndGolmaal 3 provided right graph of laughter meter. Golmaal Three done fantastically at Box Office and audience laughed at Rohan Shetty’s well directed movie.

These are three movies which includes laughter as well as serious message to the society. If we watch these movies, they are very different from each other but remarkable at their story telling. Movies are well written, directed and produced.
