Garam Masala (transl. Hot spices) is a 2005 Indian Hindi-language comedy film written and directed by Priyadarshan. The film stars Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Paresh Rawal, and Rajpal Yadav. The story revolves around Makarand "Mac" Deendayal Chatpatiya (Kumar) and Shyam "Sam" Salgaonkar (Abraham), two photographer friends, who like to flirt with women constantly. After a trip abroad, Shyam decides to disrupt Makarand's life when he sees him enjoying the company of three ladies. The film is a remake of Priyadarshan's own 1985 Malayalam comedy Boeing Boeing which in turn was based on the 1960 French play of the same name. However, the basic plot of Garam Masala was based on John Rich's film Boeing Boeing (1965), which was based on the same French play as well.

Garam Masala was released during Diwali in 2005 and received mixed reviews from the critics and was a commercial success. However, Kumar was appreciated for his performance which also won him the Best Actor in a Comic Role award at the Filmfare Awards.
