A dark comedy is a type of movie that essentially takes on a serious subject—like war, terror, crime, or even death—and injects it with humour. It goes without saying that this genre is not for everyone, which is why it is currently being little researched. The dark comedy genre is challenging to master. Making a profoundly humorous movie is challenging, and it happens extremely rarely that the audience finds such a movie amusing.
Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt is going to make debut in film production with her upcoming film Darlings which is a dark comedy set in Mumbai. The first teaser of the film released on July 5 making fans intrigued for the release in August. If you are among those rare audiences who like dark comedies, then this is for you. Sometimes the greatest way to approach challenging subjects is with humour. Here are some of the best Bollywood dark comedies.
