Happy Birthday, Johnny Lever: Top 10 memorable performances by comedians

There is no denying that Johnny Lever is one actor whose facial expressions and comic timing cannot match. Although Johnny is popular for comic roles, he is one of the finest actors in the film industry. Even while portraying comedic roles, he has the ability to differentiate each role from the other so that the characters are not repeated. As the actor turns a year older today, let’s take a look at some of his remarkable characters who have etched our hearts.

Tony in reality

You can never imagine Johnny, but even when he portrays him, it is extremely difficult to control his laughter. When Tony keeps busting at the dance bar and putting forth his lame excuses, he leaves the audience in splits in those scenes.

Aslam Bhai in Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega

Although the film was completely inspired by the Coen Brothers’ 1996 classic Fargo, the makers added an original character to the Bollywood version. This character was of Aslam Bhai and it was played by Johnny. You really can’t think of anyone who can match his timing and acting in this particular role. The character, a small time gangster who wants to be a movie star, got huge sympathy from the audience and even bigger laughs.

Babulal in Baazigar

A character with a shot-term memory loss, Babulal who was the owner… Oh no… was the head of the Chopra household in the 1993 blockbuster film Baazigar. Johnny made Babulal’s portrayal impeccable and once again he proved that he has the ability to play challenging characters like no other. His crazy antics and series of PJs are sure to give you a regular dose of laughs.

Hiralal in Judai

After Luv Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega, Johnny once again took on the role of a normal movie star, but separated his character Hiralal from Aslam Bhai. Judaai was a love triangle starring Anil Kapoor, Sridevi and Urmila Matondkar, but people walked out of the cinema hall remembering the love story of Abba Dabba Jaba, that was Harilal and Vaani.

Anna in Khiladi

Johnny gave comic relief as Anna in an intense thriller film by Abbas Mustan. The actor knows very well how to play stereotypes to his advantage and as a lodge owner who has ‘little little kids’, Johnny does the same.

Small umbrella in Awara Pagal Deewana

Awara Pagal Deewana, released in 2002, was a powerpacked film with all the necessary elements from action sequences to memorable songs. However, what once again won the hearts of the audience was the stuttering, unsteady little umbrella. Johnny’s performance in Awara Pagal Deewana is considered to be one of his hilarious works. Who can forget the scene of Paresh Rawal flirting with his wife?

Pappi Bhai in Golmaal 3

Johnny joined Golmaal Wagon in the third edition as Puppy Boss aka Puppy Bhai. Reviving one of his older characters, Babulal, Johnny once again took on the role with short-term memory loss. He not only made Pappi Bhai different from Babulal but also laughed in his unique style.

Ram Lal in Baadshah

Johnny’s performance in Badshah was appreciated by his fans. Despite the film getting cult status, the actor knows very well how to make his character memorable in the film. Oh by the way you remember ‘Casino Goggles’?

Gopal in Kunwar

For those who think that Johnny cannot dance, then definitely watch The Bachelor. The epic dance won’t let your laughter rest even for a second.

Winston Churchgate in Housefull 4

After playing back-to-back quirky characters in the Housefull series, Johnny was seen in one of the funniest avatars in Housefull 4. The comedy of errors received mixed reviews but Johnny once again managed to make the audience laugh.
