The Hindi filmmaker Hrishikesh Mukherjee made mostly simplistic social comedies and he has been loved by his fans for making movies like “Chupke Chupke”, “Anupama”, ”Anand “, “Abhimaan”, “Guddi” , “Gol Maal”, “Bawarchi”, and “Namak Haraam.” Most of these films were based on families, fun together in families and it was inspired from Calcutta (Bengali) way of living.

His films did not have actions, thrills, costumes, sets or locations but every movie had a kind of theme that was amazing to watch.

The comedy in “Chupke Chupke” made fun of intellectual grammatical languages that is difficult to be adopted in normal living. ”Anand” said “Life is short and it should be lived completely with happiness.” No word for amazing mustache moive “Golmaal “and”Bawarchi” theme was “In our family with our people we should be happy doing our small jobs.”

The film “Guddi “taught of ill- craze for cinema,”Abhimaan” catches on ego of famous people and “Namak Haram” was about the plot of an industrialist to uses his deprived close friend to win labors in his business for financial benefits and the plan falls apart when his friend turns against him for the benefit of the suffering labors in the business house.

All his movies had something to do with the education system, sciences and colleges and that may be because he himself taught mathematics and Science after graduating in Chemistry.
