Franchise evolution
Refreshing change in the comedy franchise
The Golmaal franchise has always been known for its ensemble cast and comedic chaos. The first four parts featured a female lead, Rimi Sen in Golmaal: Fun Unlimited (2006), Kareena Kapoor Khan in Golmaal Returns (2008) and Golmaal 3, and Parineeti Chopra in the last installment, Golmaal Again (2017). The absence of a traditional love interest is seen as a refreshing change.
