Everyone loves a good laugh, be it during tough times or lively moments. Adult comedy is a genre that adults enjoy themselves but often shy away from exposing their children to, and for good reason. Adult comedy films use situations that are motivated by explicit scenarios, adult or black humour to create comedy that adults can understand. Bollywood has made a couple of ventures into this genre, but the number of films that exist are perhaps telling of the still-persistent reluctance that Indians have towards explicit content on the big screen. Nonetheless, here are the best Bollywood adult comedy movies that have made people laugh through the years.
