  Pappu(Kuthiravattom) has actd in 1226 films.But it wasnt a big deal cos he isnt as famous as jagathy .Prem Nazir alone has acted in about 1000 films. He died in 1989.Lets count another 1000 films without Nazir till 1989.From 89 till 2003(14 years)there should have been about 1000 films(@70-75 per year).That makes it 3000 (Even though today only about 50-55 films are released per year there used to be many more previously).
  
  
  Jagathy ,Pappu and co has acted in almost 40% of the movie during 80s-mid 90s

  It would not be a good idea to rank the comedians. Its as difficult as any other job. But I thik that Jagathy(great improvisation,repartee),Sreenivasan(simple way of giving dialogues,simplicity is the key),Jagadeesh(big eyes and expressions,tone),Mohan Lal(a bit of everything),Innocent(accent,expressions)Haneefa(appearance,accent),Mukesh(Kollam accent),Dileep(repartee).....Thilakan has done extrmely well in Kilukkam.My favourites among the females are Meena(Meleparambil,Yodha),KPAC(many films),Kalpana,Urvashi,Manju Pillay..
  
  I think Adoor Bhasi didnt get the oppurtunities.In the 60s and 70s the role of a comedian was just to prove that the hero was intelligent.He would get himself into certain situations out of which the hero helps him out.
  
  I never liked Mala.
  
  I think the best combinations are
  Mohanlal-Jagathy
  Mohanlal-Jagadeesh
  Mohanlal-Mukesh
  Jagathy-Kalpana
  Mukesh-Jagadeesh

  Lets not include lal in this category since he is a lead actor and not a comedian...He was terrific with his comedy..especially in the earlier priyadarshan movies...
  
  My pick for best comedy actors with individual best performances:
  1) No doubt: Jagathy number 1(kilikkum)
  2) Innocent(godfather)
  3) Pappu tie(poochakorru mukkuthi)
  3) Harishree(Punjabi House)
  4) Jagadish(In Harihar Nagar)
  
  My pick for best lead/supporting actors doing comedy
  
  1) Sreenivasan (the 3 CID movies)
  2) Mohanlal (the 3 CID movies)
  3) Mukesh (Boeing Boeing)
  4) Jayaram (Similar performances in fun movies, e.g, Pattabishekham, One Man Show)
  5) Dileep (All his movies..comedy is all he does..nothing else)

  any one remembers the performance of mukesh, soman, maniyanpilla raju in movies like boeing boeing, aram+aram=kinnram, poochakkoru mookhutti and maazha peyyunnu madalam kottunnu,
  another noticable comedy is by siddique, name of the movie i dont remember but in which he goes to a ladies hostel to sell undergarmants..
  these are the most natural comedies i've ever seen in my life.. not to forget mohanla's roles too in these movies
