He is most known for his comedy classic ''[[Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro]]'' (1983) and his 1986–1987, TV series ''[[Nukkad]]'' with [[Saeed Akhtar Mirza]].

==Biography==
Kundan Shah was born in a [[Gujarati people|Gujarati]] family.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://scroll.in/reel/853214/kundan-shah-1947-2017-the-man-who-found-laughter-in-woe-is-no-more|title=Kundan Shah (1947-2017): The man who found laughter in woe is no more|date=October 7, 2017|first=Devarsi|last=Ghosh|publisher=Scroll.in}}</ref>

Shah studied direction at the [[Film and Television Institute of India]] in [[Pune]] and he developed an interest in the [[comedy]] genre.

His directorial debut was the comedy film ''[[Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro]]'' (aka Who Pays the Piper) in 1983. He also was the co-writer of the film, with Satish Kaushik. The film introduced [[Indian cinema]] to satirical comedy for the first time and was well accepted as not being [[slapstick]].

Shah then started to work in television. He was one of the directors of the popular sitcom [[Yeh Jo Hai Zindagi]], which started telecast in August 1984. He became a partner of ''Iskra'', a company founded by [[Saeed Akhtar Mirza]], [[Aziz Mirza]] and others. In 1985–1986 he directed the TV series ''[[Nukkad]]'' (street) along with [[Saeed Akhtar Mirza]]. The serial was another folk comedy dealing with the routine life of street youngsters. In 1987 he directed another television serial named "Manoranjan", the comedy serial was based on film industry and became an instant hit. In 1988, he started directing sitcom, ''[[Wagle Ki Duniya]]'', based on cartoonist, [[R. K. Laxman]]'s character, the common man, starring [[Anjan Srivastav]].<ref name=exp>{{cite news |title=Trapped in Wagle's mould |url=http://expressindia.indianexpress.com/ie/daily/19991109/ile09094.html |publisher=Indian Express |date=9 November 1999|access-date=16 May 2013}}</ref>

After directing several serials, Shah took a long break of 7 years from cinema.

Shah made his comeback to cinema in 1993. He directed the famous ''[[Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa]]'' and wrote the screenplay for the film. The film was another comic love story but it also displayed new aspects to its credit – it was the first time that the hero in the film was an absolute loser. The film starred [[Shah Rukh Khan|Shahrukh Khan]] in one of his first roles. The film was much acclaimed and both Shah and Khan were appreciated for their work. In 1994, Shah won the [[Filmfare Critics Award for Best Movie]] for the film. He was the first filmmaker to win this award.

In 1998, Shah directed another acclaimed film, ''[[Kya Kehna]]''. Due to delay, the film released in 2000 and became the surprise hit of the year. The film dealt with the socially controversial issue of single parenthood and premarital pregnancy. [[Preity Zinta]] gave a critically appreciated performance in the lead role of a teenage single-mother who tries to overcome the values of her society. This was to be her debut film but, due to the delay in release, she instead debuted in [[Dil Se...]], followed by [[Soldier (1998 Indian film)|Soldier]]. The film also starred [[Saif Ali Khan]] and [[Chandrachur Singh]].

Shah's next releases were ''[[Hum To Mohabbat Karega]]'' in 2000, starring [[Bobby Deol]] and [[Karisma Kapoor]], ''[[Dil Hai Tumhaara]]'' in 2002, starring [[Rekha]], [[Preity Zinta]], [[Arjun Rampal]], [[Mahima Chaudhry]], and [[Jimmy Shergill]], and ''[[Ek Se Badhkar Ek (2004 film)|Ek Se Badhkar Ek]]'' in 2004, starring [[Suniel Shetty]] and [[Raveena Tandon]]. While the second film received generally positive reviews, none of the films fared well at the box office.
