1. Hera Pheri
Released in 2000, Hera Pheri is considered a cult classic comedy film that has become a staple in Indian cinema. The film is directed by Priyadarshan, and it stars Paresh Rawal and Suniel Shetty other than Akshay Kumar. For those who love watching comedy movies, Hera Pheri is indeed a must-watch.

3. Pad Man
Inspired by the life of Arunachalam Muruganantham, who reformed menstrual hygiene in rural India, Pad Man is another milestone film in Akhay Kumar’s long career. Directed by R. Balki, the film breaks the taboos surrounding menstruation and talks about the importance of women’s health.
