{{Main|Golmaal: Fun Unlimited}}

Laxman is an intelligent student who is diverted from doing well in college by his mischievous band of friends Gopal, Madhav and Lucky. Lucky is a mute in the movie. The three friends use Laxman's hostel room for their mischief. The naughty foursome then finds refuge in the bungalow of a blind couple, Somnath ([[Paresh Rawal]]) and Mangala ([[Sushmita Mukherjee]]), who are waiting for their grandson

A cat-and-mouse game unfolds as Laxman's body and Gopal's voice make up Sameer. Each time the blind Dadaji comes amidst them, hilarious situations arise. Enter Nirali ([[Rimi Sen]]), the saucy girl-next-door, and the group now have time, place and 'resources' to fall in love. Their individual efforts at winning the lady's heart fail. Apart from their amorous interests, there is a quest for hidden treasure in the old couple's house. There is also a gangster named Babli who wants to steal from the couple's bungalow.

===''Golmaal Returns'' (2008)===
{{Main|Golmaal Returns}}

Gopal ([[Ajay Devgn]]) lives with his wife Ekta ([[Kareena Kapoor]]), who is addicted to watching soap dramas. He also lives with sister Esha ([[Amrita Arora]]) who is in love with investigating officer Madhav, and a mute brother-in-law Lucky ([[Tusshar Kapoor]]). Lucky is in love with a deaf girl named Daisy ([[Anjana Sukhani]]). One night, while returning from his office, Gopal saves an attractive young woman named Meera ([[Celina Jaitley]]) from some dreaded goons. Due to the circumstances, both of them decide to spend the night at Gopal's friend's yacht.

When he arrives home the next day, his over-suspicious wife suspects him of flirting around with his female employees and having an affair with his secretary. Knowing how difficult it is to convince her with the truth, he invents a story about spending the night with a fictitious friend named Anthony Gonsalves. Ekta becomes suspicious and does not believe his story as she knows that he never had a friend by that name and, hence, she decides to write to Anthony to visit her and to confirm Gopal was telling the truth.

Gopal meets Laxman Prasad ([[Shreyas Talpade]]) who has come to interview for a position in his office. He is Meera's boyfriend, which is not known to Gopal who asks him to pretend to be Anthony, and meet and convince Ekta that he was indeed telling the truth, in return for a job. Laxman agrees to do so, and everything goes according to plan until the address on which Ekta had written a letter to Anthony turns out to be real. Meanwhile, Gopal finds out that a dead body was found at the same location where he saved Meera from the goons. Investigating Officer Madhav ([[Arshad Warsi]]), who also happens to be Esha's boyfriend, does not get along with Gopal. He finds out that Gopal was missing from his home that very night and that the dead person was Gopal's colleague whom he had threatened to kill over a spat. Madhav also finds out that Laxman is not the real Anthony. Madhav is really suspicious of Gopal and often accuses him in front of his wife, Ekta. He asks Gopal to get Meera to the police station to prove that Gopal had been with her, and did not murder his employee. In panic, his friends hire a woman called Munni ([[Ashwini Kalsekar]]) who needs money to get her boyfriend Vasuli ([[Mukesh Tiwari]]) out of jail. But Munni is kidnapped by the murderer.

In a rage, Vasuli comes to Meera's house, where Laxman and Lucky learn the woman was none other than Meera whom Gopal had saved from the goons that night. After an initial shock, they decide to go to the police station. However, Vasuli kidnaps Meera in anger, and they follow him, along with Madhav, Esha and Ekta in tow. Gopal learns that this was a plot concocted by his employer, Sawant ([[Murali Sharma]]) to frame him for the murder. The drama grows, as everyone attempts suicide, much to Sawant's anger. Finally, Sawant goes crazy and kills himself. Ekta and Gopal get back together in the end.

Lucky meanwhile marries the daughter of the president of Gopal's company who happens to be Daisy and becomes the new boss, giving a shock to the others. Gopal and Laxman are the junior bosses while Madhav is a 24-hour guard for Lucky.

===''Golmaal Again!!!'' (2017)===
{{Main|Golmaal Again}}
{{cleanup|section|reason=Needs cleanup for grammar, typography, syntax, etc. Any interpretive content needs to be removed.|date=October 2017}}
The cast consists of Gopal ([[Ajay Devgan]]), Madhav ([[Arshad Warsi]]), Lucky ([[Tushar Kapoor]]), Laxman 1 ([[Kunal Khemu]]) and Laxman 2 ([[Shreyas Talpade]]). The female roles portrayed are Anna ([[Tabu (actress)|Tabu]]) and Khushi ([[Parineeti Chopra]]). The villains in the movie are Vasu Reddy ([[Prakash Raj]]) and Nikhil ([[Neil Nitin Mukesh]]).

In their childhood, all the main characters were raised in an orphanage by Jamnadas in [[Ooty]]. The five main characters are the first batch of orphans and Khushi is added later, found lying at the gate of the orphanage, abandoned by her parents. Anna is the daughter of the librarian in the orphanage and she is gifted with the power to see and talk to spirits/ aatma. The five males abscond from the orphanage in their childhood, due to conflict with the owner Jamnadas, on account of their internal kiddish fights. The girl, Khushi is later adopted by Colonel Chauhan ([[Sachin Khedekar]]), a retired army man. The five males adapt a mawali lifestyle; whereas, Khushi grows up into a lavish lifestyle with her father, who later buys the land beside the Ashram and hence, she grows up with Anna the librarian. One day Jamnadas's nephew Nikhil returns to India and is gifted the orphanage land by Jamnadas as he is the only heir to him, with the promise to take care of the orphans after him and improvise the orphanage and build up more opportunities for the orphans. Here comes the twist, Nikhil gets into an affair with Khushi and later gets engaged with her. One day it is found that he is a fraud and just interested to have the orphanage land to build his own property and add to his business. After the disclosure of his real intentions, he ends up in a quarrel with Jamnadas and murders him, which is unknowingly eyed by Khushi, who is in turn gagged and killed by Nikhil. However, Anna can see and talk to Khushi's soul/aatma due to her powers so Khushi told her how she died.
Anna reunites the five man again. Gopal falls in love with Khushi. Khushi is apparently visible only to the five lead actors and Anna. Eventually, all five come to know that she is a soul/aatma/ghost. But because of their childhood friendship bond with Khushi, they decide to bring Nikhil back to India and take revenge. In the climax, Khushi's ghost gets Nikhil to the custody of the police when he admits his crime.
