The beginning: Chor Machaye Shor and Khushi

These were the 2 movies that first gave us a taste of the badmaksh world. Although we never refer to specific incidents in these movies anymore, we do have fond memories of watching them.
Here are some salient features:

Khushi
  • Amrish "Badmash Ranjit Singh" Puri beating up a rickshaw driver (which itself was funny) ... in the middle of marine drive!
  • kareena getting pissed off when fardeen stares at her stomach
  • fardeen opening his heart out about kareena to a random person from a village (amrish puri) who turns out to be her dad ... and who says that whoever this woman is has to be a "gadhe ki aulad" ... thus calling himself a gadha
  • some guy making a funny face by raising his eyebrows ... v v v funny .. and this i think was the first time we ever paused a movie and fell off the sofa laughing .... to be repeated many times in rudraksh and badmash
Chor Machaye Shor
  • millions of low blows delivered by Bobby deol to the various villains
  • bipasha basu playing "inspector ranjita" ... just the very idea is funny
  • paresh rawal as acp ... hes quite funny
  • shekhar suman dressed as a woman
  • shekhar suman shaving while dressed as a woman
  • shekhar suman saying that "she" shaves everyday when caught shaving while dressed as a woman
  • bipasha basu/shilpa shetty (cant remember which one) believing shekhar suman saying that "she" shaves everyday when caught shaving while dressed as a woman
  • the great title song - CHOOOOOOOORRRR MACHAAAYE SHOOOOORRRRRR
another thing to mention -- both bipasha basu and the late great amrish puri star in 2 of the badmaksh movies, and are hence the undisputed king and queen of the badmaksh world.
