Bollywood Mom Characters That Will Make You Go ROFL

Here are some of the best Bollywood mom characters that are sometimes dramatic, sometimes comic, but always entertaining:

Mrs Acharya (Dostana)

Kirron Kher should be declared the funniest mom of Bollywood already. Whether it is the movie ‘Khubsoorat’, ‘Total Siyappa’, ‘Singh Is Kinng’, or Dostana, she makes every character a hit. Out of all, Kher’s high-octane Punjabi mother’s role in Dostana remains iconic to this date. The dramatic dialogues mixed with funny banter make every scene a delight to watch. Though it’s been sixteen years since the movie was released, the song Maa Da Laadla Bigad Gaya — with its hook step — still remains a favourite among fans. In the movie, where she finally accepts her son’s gay boyfriend and tries to bless him, her dialogue ‘Jeete raho, phulo phalo, khair chodo’ still makes us crack with laughter.

Dolly Ahaluwalia (Vicky Donor)

Dolly, who plays the role of a typical Punjabi mom to Vicky in the film ‘Vicky Donor’, is enough to receive a National Award and recognition for a lifetime. She played the role with much conviction that we, as viewers, couldn't help but relate. She works hard all day while cursing her unemployed son. But at night, she sits with her mother-in-law and drinks whiskey, forgetting all the worries she has in her life. Her role as Dolly will always be remembered for a wonderful vivacity.

Dimple Kapadia did justice to the role of a typical Indian mom who curses, beats, and throws sarcastic comments at their children, but still showers them with love. In the movie Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, all of Dimple’s dialogues screamed ‘Every desi mom ever’.
