Zany Films

 Not sure if the word zany prevails, but my gen. might understand what it means. There are a few films which are a lovely ride and make you forget yourself and your worries, if you had any. Mostly, it has to do with editing, not the story necessarily. Some fun films of this kind-

Satte pe Satta- I think it was baed on Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Well-adapted, and all the actors did a good job. The songs were also good.

Finding Fanny- I liked it for its quirky humour, and Shahid Kapur's dad- he is awesome. Pankaj Kapur.

Gol maal- with Amol Palekar and Utpal Dutt. Plot, direction, acting, all superb.

Angoor- Based on Shakespeare's play, Sanjeev Kumar and Deven Varma added zest.

Albela..Just for the songs and the unlikely lead pair (Bhagwan Dada and Geeta Bali), this gets in my list.

The Indian version of Irma La Douce was Manoranjan. Very entertaining. Sanjeev Kumar, Zeenat and Shammi Kapoor excelled.

Hum Kisise Kam Nahin..the foursome of songs, and in general, an entertainment-oriented plot. Bachna ai haseeno was also a chart-buster.

Hathi Mere Sathi was one of the biggest hits of its time. Novel plot and great songs.
