5 Best Comic Performances Of Ajay Devgn That Made Him The Ultimate Superstar Of Comedy In Bollywood

Box-office records? Check. Critical Accolades? Check. National Award? Check. Very few actors can boast of a career graph like that of Ajay Devgn. He is one rare superstar who has proved his mettle in any genre be it romance, drama, action or even comedy.

Despite starting his career in action and delivering knock out dramatic performances in films like Zakhm that earned him a National Award, some of his biggest hits has been in the comedy genre. As Total Dhamaal hits the theatre with a promise to mimic the super success of Golmaal Again last year, we take a look at some of the best performances of Ajay Devgn which makes him the most bankable superstar in the genre.

Rank 5: Son Of Sardar

Who would have thought that the next time we Ajay Devgn as a Sardar after his intense performance in The Legends Of Bhagat Singh, it would be in his maddest avatar? Son of Sardar, which was a remake of the Telugu film Maryada Ramanna by SS Rajamouli of Baahubali has Ajay playing the character of Jassi. Full of ultimate madness Ajay showed his mettle in comedy yet again in this genre. It is hard to point out one particular scene in this ultimate comedy caper, but the drunk scene remains a personal favorite.

Rank 4: Bol Bachchan

Though Abhishek’s double role was the talked about aspect of the film, Bol Bachchan would not be what it is without Ajay Devgn giving a rib-tickling performance. As the brawny buffoon Prithviraj Raghuvanshi, he was simply in his elements. The song  ‘Jaan Le Lo Na Jaan Re’ is just too funny to believe. Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn yet again proved why they are the best in the business.

Rank 3: All The Best

You know you have signed up for something good when Ajay Devgn’s name in a Rohit Shetty film is Prem Chopra. One simply has to watch the movie to understand why full masala comedy is one of the most successful genres in Bollywood. A particular scene where Ajay describes a car and Sanjay Dutt misunderstands it as him describing a girl is cheesy comedy goodness at its best.

Rank 2: Golmaal

The Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn collaboration that gave Bollywood its most successful comedy franchise is probably one of the favorite comedy films of every Bollywood fan. While Sharman Joshi, Arshad Warsi, and Tusshar Kapoor are equally responsible for the historic success of the film, it is really Ajay Devgn who is the star of the show. The ‘Black’ scene from the movie is just textbook comedy gold.

Rank 1: Ishq

If you are a true blue 90s kid there is no way Ishq is not your favorite comic performance of Ajay Devgn. Though the film becomes incredibly intense and tragic in the second half, the first half is comedy performance by Aamir Khan and Ajay Devgn that is at par with the cult classic Andaaz Apna Apna. From the bathtub scene to the car brake fail scene, no matter how many time you watch the film, you end up rolling on the floor every time you see it again.
