The series comprises humour, subtle drama, and a whole lot of emotions. It also shows how strong friendship comes to rescue in the test of times.

Bored Of Action And Suspense? 4 Comedy Films Will Make You Laugh Till Your Stomach Hurts
From thrillers and romances to laugh-out-loud comedies, Sony Liv hosts an array of films that continue to find new audiences With streaming platforms dominating the entertainment space, Sony Liv has steadily emerged as a go-to destination for cinema lovers. From thrillers and romances to laugh-out-loud comedies, the platform hosts an array of films that continue to find new audiences. This week, several titles stand out for those looking for a good dose of humour blended with drama and suspense. One of them is Kadak, starring Ranvir Shorey, which follows the chaotic life of Sunil, a middle-aged man caught in an affair with another man's wife. When her husband Radhe confronts him with a gun, the encounter takes an unexpected twist where Radhe accidentally shoots himself. Sunil, now stuck with a dead body on Diwali night, is further trapped when friends arrive for a party, oblivious to the situation. What follows is a sharp blend of thriller and dark comedy, making Kadak one of Sony Liv's most entertaining offerings. Another gem on the platform is Dedh Ishqiya, the cult favorite featuring Naseeruddin Shah, Arshad Warsi, Madhuri Dixit and Huma Qureshi. A sequel to the much-loved Ishqiya, this film balances romance, betrayal and mischief with wit-laden dialogues and unpredictable twists. Madhuri's poetic charm and the chemistry between Shah and Warsi add depth to a story that continues to captivate viewers more than a decade after its release. Comedy fans also have Poster Boys to revisit. Starring Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Shreyas Talpade, the film is built around a hilarious misunderstanding, when the trio's photos mistakenly appear on sterilisation posters. What follows is a chain of comic mishaps that cleverly addresses a serious subject with humour. The strong comic timing of its lead actors ensures it remains a crowd-pleaser. For those who prefer edgier humour, Kangana Ranaut's Revolver Rani offers a darker take on comedy. Playing Alka Singh, a small-town don navigating politics, passion and chaos, Ranaut delivers a quirky performance that has since become one of her most unconventional roles. The film's unusual mix of satire and crime drama makes it a unique addition to Sony Liv's comedy catalogue. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
