Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi is popularly known for his comedy timing. His upcoming comedy movie Pagalpanti is ready to hit the silver screens on November 22, 2019. The plot of the movie revolves around a tourist group from India who are on a vacation abroad only to have their trip turn into a patriotic mission. Pagalpanti stars John Abraham, Anil Kapoor and Kriti Kharbanda in pivotal roles. Arshad Warsi has done tons of movies related to the comedy genre. Here are some of his best comedic scenes.
1. The admission scene (Munna Bhai M.B.B.S 2003)
Munna Bhai M.B.B.S was a massive hit of the year and became one of the films to achieve a silver jubilee status at the box-office. The humorous pair of Munna Bhai (Sanjay Dutt) and Circuit (Arshad Warsi) had a tremendous effect on the audience. In the admission scene, the duo is seen to ask the doctor about how to get admission in the medical Institute. When they come to know that the doctor has topped the entrance exam they kidnap his father and involve him in the process of cheating. The crisp and perfectly timed dialogue delivery from Arshad Warsi and Sanjay Dutt was what made the scene hilarious.

The Vasuli scene (Golmaal 2006)
Golmaal is a light comedy movie which portrays four runaway crooks taking shelter in a house which is owned by a blind couple. The movie was filled with epic comedy scenes and jokes. One such scene was when Arshad Warsi tricked Vasuli (who wants his money back) in making him believe that he looks like Sanjay Dutt. The actor teaches Vasuli to walk like Baba and runs away from him. The scene created a significant impact as his timing of running and dodging him was so perfect that it left the audience to burst out in laughter.

Yeh 2nd October kya hai? Scene (Lage Raho Munna Bhai 2006)
Lage Raho Munna Bhai is the sequel of the movie Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. Just like Munna Bhai M.B.B.S, Lage Raho Munna Bhai also became one of the most appreciated movies of the comedy genre. The scene where Sanjay Dutt asks Arshad Warsi “Yeh 2nd October Kya hai?” became the joke of the year. As Arshad Warsi replies “Dry day Hai bhai”. The comedic timing of the actor was on point as the joke stayed in the minds of the people for a very long time.

The screwdriver scene (Dhamaal 2007)
The movie Dhamaal as we all know belongs to the comedy genre, and the equation between Arshad Warsi and Javed Jaffery took the audiences on a roller-coaster ride of laughter. The screwdriver scene from the is a testimony to it. In the scene, Javed Jaffery is seen stabbing Arshad Warsi with a screwdriver in his lower back twice.
