While, Khans and their masala films ruled the box office for a long time, now it is the turn of comedy films to catch the imagination of the audiences in 2017. Rejecting big films like 'Jagga Jasoos,' 'Tubelight' and 'Jab Harry Met Sejal', movie goers have chosen comedy genre. Right from big budget 'Golmaal Again' to a small film 'Shubh Mangal Savdhan,' light-hearted films have been excepted by the audience. Here are five comedy films, which attracted the audience.

'Golmaal Again': Ajay Devgn’s 'Golmaal Again' became 2017’s biggest blockbuster but also the highest-earning comedy film. The film has collected £20.55 million. 'Judwaa 2': Varun Dhawan impressed the audience in his Raja and Prem avatar with 'Judwaa 2.' The comedy became Varun’s highest solo grosser with a business of £13.86 million. 'Mubarakan:' Arjun Kapoor and Anil Kapoor-starrer 'Mubarakan' opened on a low note but later the comedy film managed to earn £5.56 million in its theatrical run. 'Fukrey Returns.' The recently released 'Fukrey Returns' has surprised the audience with the superb response it received at the box office. In just six days the film has earned £4.66 million. 'Shubh Mangal Savdhan:' Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar’s 'Shubh Mangal Savdhan' made on a shoe-string budget raked in £4.31 million, thus making it one of the most profitable ventures of this year.
