The list must begin with 'Andaz Apna Apna' as it was one of the first films that showcased the extraordinary comic timing Rawal has! The actor played a double role (Ram Gopal Bajaj / Shyam Gopal Bajaj aka Teja) in the film, and received enormous praise for his performance. His dialogue, "Teja main hoon, mark idhar hai" became immensely popular at the time.
