The day this post was typed; I stumbled on the imdb comedy chart for confirming the answer for one of the Quiz questions on the internal bulletin board.
Here’s what I found: http://imdb.com/chart/comedy
The imdb charts list the truly great movies of all time, and also genre wise and it’s more or less a correct compilation.
And the movie that heads the comedy charts now is Lage raho munna bhai!!!!!!
What the!!!!
And this is placed right above the all time classics of the like Singin in the rain, Some like it hot and Monty python and the holy grail
I guess the hindi speaking (knowing as well! :D ) population is crawling all over the place and hell bent on spreading it’s mediocrity world over
IMHO, Lage rahoo….was decent…silly movie, good enough for a few laughs, summer hit. That’s all…In fact I liked the first part much better…
It definitely is not in the all time greats league…Someone please drive the bollywood scum off imdb!
And if a hindi movie does have to be up there, I would gladly carry the banner for Jaane bhi do yaaro…may be for position 8…

P.S: the highest rated Indian movie however is Pushpak (pesum padam; kamala hassan and amala) at 9.6/10

I liked that movie, you know ! It is rare that I sit to watch a 3 hour movie ! :D But this was an exception. I only wished that that heroine ( pretty as she was ) did not shout out good morning like that ! :D
