Looking back to 2002, Subhash K Jha in a new edition of This Day That Year, focuses on Ankhiyon Se Goli Maare, which was directed by Harmesh Malhotra and starred Govinda and Raveena Tandom.

In the US, there is a ‘PG’ censor rating for films that require Parental Guidance. There should be a ‘PG’ rating in Bollywood as well. It would stand for ‘Putrid Garbage’. Effortlessly and immediately , veteran filmmaker Harmesh Malhotra’s “comedy” would fall into that extra-special bracket of ‘PG’ films which are meant to amuse the morons of the world.

Or so, Malhotra thinks. Going by the film’s ghastly sense of comic slumming and the characters’ seeming pleasure in perpetrating noise-and-visual pollution Ankhiyon Se Goli Maare could well be titled ‘Splendour In The Crass’. The laugh-turf is so crudely and inexpertly laid out that it seems the director manoeuvred the mirth yatra on a landmower . The ‘gross...

Bollywood has always been a land of transformation. While some actors rose to fame through romance, others made their mark through tragedy or action. However, a few rare talents began their cinematic journey portraying terrifying villains, only to surprise everyone by becoming audience-favorite comedians later in their careers.

Here’s a look at five such versatile actors who redefined their image in Indian cinema.

1. Paresh Rawal: From Intense Villain to Comic Genius

Paresh Rawal’s early career was filled with intense and often negative characters. In films like Sir, his portrayal of Ram Avtar was both powerful and chilling. He also played a negative role in Andaz Apna Apna, where his dual character added layers of tension and humor. However, once Rawal stepped into the world of comedy with films like Hera Pheri, Chup Chup Ke, Welcome, and Maalamaal Weekly, he became a household name. His comic timing and...

Known for his unapologetic style since Arjun Reddy, Vanga’s latest venture was Animal, which doubled down on raw intensity and sheer audacity, raking in more than ₹900 Crore despite a storm of controversy.

While the movie had an ensemble of Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, Tripti Dimri, Anil Kapoor, and Shakti Kapoor, at its heart was the protagonist, Ranbir Kapoor. Without a doubt, he played the chaotic Ranvijay Singh with a fearlessness that matched Vanga’s vision. Ditching on his previous image among the fans, Kapoor took on whatever role the director wanted him to, and this conviction even surprised Vanga at certain times.

Mere Husband Ki Biwi takes you down the rib-tickling route again. How difficult is comedy?

It’s always very, very tricky to try the rib-tickling route, sir. Humour is a very personally varied emotion. Comedies rarely bring its makers their due credit, but I stick to it to see smiles on faces perhaps!

Your Pati Patni Aur Woh was also a love triangle. Are you fascinated by that format?

On the surface, Mere Husband Ki Biwi comes across as a chaotic...

When one thinks of Bhumi Pednekar, they think of her gritty performances. Evidently she is stepping into a new era in her career with Mudassar Aziz’sMere Husband Ki Biwi, channeling a vibrant, glamorous, and comedic role reminiscent of Karisma Kapoor’s unforgettable performances in the David Dhawan universe. For Bhumi, who grew up admiring Karisma’s effortless blend of comedy and charm in films like Biwi No. 1 and Coolie No. 1, this role feels like a tribute to the 90s Bollywood style of entertainment.

Speaking about her inspiration, Bhumi shared, “I have always been a huge fan of Karisma Kapoor. I was four and was hell bent on getting a cap she wore in one of the film from my parents on my birthday. She had this electric screen presence, an unmatched energy that made her performances so iconic. Whether it was her impeccable comic timing or her dazzling dance numbers,...

In this This Day That Year special feature Subhash K Jha looks back at the Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor film Haan… Maine Bhi Pyar Kiya.

The actor said, “Working with Suneel and Dharmesh Darshan is like having ghar ka khana”, but more on that and his thoughts on his character in Haan… Maine Bhi Pyar Kiya further down.

Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor were engaged to marry when this fluffy, silly film was launched. They parted ways by the time the film was released.

Somewhere in the second half of this marital drama about Man, Woman, and Angel, Kader Khan, playing a valet to a strangely benevolent film star, Akshay Kumar, tells Abhishek Bachchan, “What films they used to make in the old days!

In this exclusive interview RajKumar Santoshi talks with Subhash K Jha on the return of the Salman Khan, Aamir Khan comedy, Andaz Apna Apna called me to inform me that they are planning to re-release 500 prints. I am very happy, of course. Why wouldn’t I be? The love and devotion that the film has collected over the years is beyond anything I’ve seen. Now, all those who love the film and were not there when it was first released would be able to see and enjoy it on the big screen.

Is it your favourite film from your repertoire?

It is my most popular film for sure. But I have other favourites. I like my work in most of my films, including Ghayal, Ghatak, Khakee, and Lajja, which I know is your favorite. Andaz Apna Apna is special for two reasons.

Romance and comedy, i.e., the rom-com, is coming back to the big screen and Filmi fans cannot wait. Starring Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, and Rakul Preet Singh, Mere Husband Ki Biwi is set to win hearts when it releases on February 21st.

Mere Husband Ki Biwi is a hilarious and heartwarming modern-day romance set in Delhi, where love, fate, and unexpected twists put one man in a chaotic dilemma. Caught between a rekindled spark with Antara and a surprising twist with Prabhleen, Ankur’s life takes a hilariously unpredictable turn.

Arjun Kapoor said, “I’ve always loved stories that bring warmth, laughter, and love to the screen, and this film does exactly that. My goal is to make content that the audience likes and enjoys, so I’m happy to be doing a project in this space.”

It is no secret that Aamir is considered to be among the finest actors in Indian cinema. His brilliance has always shone through in movies such as Lagaan, 3 Idiots, Rang De Basanti, Taare Zameen Par, and more.

However, it turned out to be a massive success when it came out on cassettes and television. Over the years, the film has attained a cult status. While some say that the movie was ahead of its time, some call it the right movie at the wrong time.

According to Rajkumar Santoshi, Andaz Apna Apna failed not because of the story or the star cast but because the makers could not advertise it properly. In a recent interview with Doordarshan, Santoshi said that the publicity for the movie wasn’t done well, and people didn’t know it was a comedy.
