There say it is easy to make some cry but making someone laugh is a hell of a job. And this is the reason why comedy is considered the most difficult genre of cinema. An actor is only considered a complete actor after he proves his mettle in a comic scenario. After looking at some so-called ‘comedy movies’ we can say that comedy is not as easy as it seems. But several Bollywood divas made look like an easy peasy job for them. Even after getting very rare chances to showcase their comic timing, these divas have proved their comic work. Today here we bring you a list of the top 10 Bollywood actresses who gave the most iconic comic performances:
1. Sridevi: The late Bollywood actor proved herself a complete actress in her rights. The comic timing of the comedy queen came out in movies including Mr. India, Chalbaaz, and many more. In Mr. India her imitation of legendary Charlie Chaplin made the audience roll down from their seats.
2. Hema Malini: imagining someone else playing the role of Basanti is impossible for us. And credit for that goes to the stupendous acting performance of Hema Malini. Hema Malini is one of the few actresses who learned the art of slipping into the shoe of every character no matter what it is.
3. Tabu: Tabu and jaw-dropping acting performance share a better love story than most couples out there. Whether it be Hera Pheri or Golmaal, the actress put every right foot forward to decorate her comic roles with perfect timing. Suffice to say- Tabu has convinced us that she can do more comedy.
4. Kangana Ranaut: Imagining Kangana Ranaut who is known for her boldness and outspoken personality, in a comic role was hard for us until we saw her in the suit of Rani in Queen. Not just queen, she also flaunted her perfect comic sensibility in Tanu wed Manu and Tanu Weds Manu return.
5. Seema Pahwa: Finding a replacement for Seema Pahwa is next to impossible. What Seema does is not the tea of everyone’s cup. With Gangubai Kathiawadi and Badhaai Do, Seema proved she has mastered the art of doing layered roles.
6. Madhuri Dixit: This list is incomplete without the mention of the ever-green beauty of Madhuri Dixit. The actress has showcased her perfect comic timing in countless cunt classics but we can’t get enough of her. Especially mentioning Hum Apke Hai Kaun which saw several ROFL!, LOL, and LMAO scenes delivered by the diva.
7. Supriya Pathak: Supriya Pathak who rose to fame with her performance as Hanse in Khichdi changed all our beliefs when she donned the grey suit and portrayed the villain in Goliyon ki Rasleela: Ramleela. Over the years, Supriya has given us some outstanding performances, but we all miss seeing her doing comedy, right?
8. Neena Gupta: Neena Gupta is the first name that pops into my head when it comes to good comedy. From Badhaai Ho to Panchayat, one cannot unsee how epic her joke timings are. The latest web series Panchayat marked how Neena Gupta can succinctly be funny. Sure, she has aced many other roles, but we cannot wait to see more of her in comic projects.
9. Kareena Kapoor: Many of you'll not agree with me on this but I do believe that Kareena is the best mainstream comedic actress we have today. Bebo is versatile enough to pull off any role really, but her comic timing never really shone through.
10. Vidya Balan: Vidya Balan has given us some brilliant women-centric films. Her latest flicks- Sherni & Jalsa, talked about many important issues in our Indian society. But movies like Ghanchakkar and The Dirty Picture prove how she can pull off comedy so well.
