Comedies kick start the New Year

If dozen odd comic successes in 2007 were not heartening enough, even 2008 would see a splurge of comedies arriving at theaters beginning this Friday.

First to come would be My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves which is a complete 'masala' fare with a good dose of comedy. E Niwas returns to directing a comedy after Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega which had done decent business at the box office. A week later comes a twin treat in the form of Bombay To Bangkok and Rama Rama Kya Hai Dramaaa. While former is Nagesh Kukunoor's first attempt at making an out and out comic/light hearted entertainer, latter would see producer Surendra Bhatia aim at repeating the success of his last comedy hit Tom Dick and Harry.

Fun continues till the end of January with Sunday being the last (and the biggest) release of January. Director Rohit Shetty, whose last film Golmaal was an out and out laugh riot, would be mixing action and suspense elements in Sunday which boasts of a huge star cast and an entertaining soundtrack.
