Synopsis

Champak Chaturvedi runs a theatrical troupe in India. He hires two men, Bunty - a graduate in Arts, and Babla- who cannot read nor write English. One has to play the role of the play's hero, while one the villain. Both men end up squabbling with each other, as both want the hero's part. Then Champak finds out that Bunty has molested the play's heroine, Anjali, and punishes him. The group gets a contract to stage 30 plays in Britain, however, on the day of the departure, Anjali opts out, leaving Champak no alternative but to travel without a heroine, but hoping to recruit one while in Britain. Upon arrival, Babla sets about to find a suitable heroine from the Indian population, but Bunty beats him to it and recruits a woman named Munni.

Reviews

Avinash Patalay Its Priyan movie dude and nothing short of a full time-pass entertainer.Akshay Kumar:: Wherever humanly possible Akki delivers more than 100%. In layman terms, he overacts. If you ignore, with the assumption of signature style, then he is full-two.Govinda:: Makes his presence felt and surprisingly get adequate screen time too, considering the fact he is pitted against Priyan favourites namely "editing notorious" Akki and "cat-o-nine lives" Paresh Rawal. And Sunil Shetty would have been a bad choice definitely.Bunty and Babla? Any references to Bunti & Babli? Sorry just thinking aloud! Lara Dutta:: Doesn't leave any impact, hence its safe to say that she was miscast. And her suicidal tendencies part was not fleshed out adequately. In fact Tanushree Dutta in the cameo was far more convincing.Paresh Rawal:: If you don't expect a reprise of Hera Pheri, he is spot on in its own right. Any deficiencies... blame the writing department.Jackie Shroff:: Its good to see a Priyan's old timer this time around and being London MetPolice Chief is nothing short of creative liberties.Other regulars just chip in with special mention to Rajpal Yadav (spot on!), Sharat Saxena, Manoj Joshi (howls again!) and Asrani.Sorry I forgot about you Arbaaz. Bhagam Bhaag is a remake of Malayalam movie which was sequel to Hera Pheri. As usual Priyan and his team customised the recipe to suit the palette. Needless to say, moving the story-base to London, capturing the English summer and yet not losing sight of the plot has translated into a decent show. And for those who are crying foul, never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal... then.
Dingataca I saw this with high expectations. Come on, it is Akshay Kumar, Govinda, and Paresh Rawal, who are all amazing at their comedy, I was really hoping for a laugh riot. Sadly, that is not what I got at all...Unfortunately, nothing in this movie really made me laugh out loud. There were times when I chuckled at one or two things, but nothing really made me laugh. In short, it was badly attempted comedy, and in a way, a bit of a Hera Pheri wannabe.Out of the three main guys, I think Paresh Rawal's role was the most powerful. It wasn't the biggest role, but it certainly stood out more than Govinda or Akshay. Their performances were okay I guess. Nothing special, just mediocre. Though Govinda stole the limelight from Akshay in more than a few scenes. Lara Dutta and Tanushree Dutta also make appearances in this film, and both of them were pretty bad. Lara's role did not move me, or make me laugh, and Tanushree Dutta's character just got on my nerves! The music seems to be the only good thing about Bhagam Bhag. My favourite song is "Tere Bin", followed by "Afreen", which I really liked. "Signal" and the title song "Bhagam Bhag" are also worth a listen.You either will like it or you won't. And judging by the poor comedy and lack of direction, I don't think you will.
Amrit Singh Move on Priyadarshan. No doubt you gave us one of the best comedies ever made in Hera Pheri, but its enough now. Accept the fact that you cannot create another Hera Pheri. Its time to try something new.The biggest issue with Bhagam Bhag is everyone is trying too much, just too much, while comedy should as effortless as possible. The storyline is haphazard. In race of making a comic thriller, the end product was neither a complete comedy and remained far from being a thriller. Pitching comic line in most tense of situation dilute the grip of thriller and could not manage to grab the comic timing totally either.Another problem lies in the fact that Akshay Kumar is over utilised while Govinda is almost wasted. Its high time for Akshay to change his comic style. Of course he possesses probably the best comic timing in the current generation of lead actors, but excess of every thing is bad. He should give it a break, may return to action flicks for a while. Govinda proves he still has it in him, in the limited screen presence and unimaginative script.Its a typical Priyadarshan type film. Some good laughs in the start, some twist in the tale and chaos in the end. Not that its bad, just nothing new. But still some really funny sequences in the start makes the first half entertaining.But again, its time Mr. Priyadarshan. Move on. We hear that David Dhavan is giving finishing touches to some of his ventures. Move on before David recaptures his throne of Comedy King.
psi_factor007 This was a Hindi movie. Hindi=Horrible. reasons: cheap dialogues, cheap special effects, cheap directing + stretching a 2 hr max movie into 3 hrs. %^^^^^^spoiler...little bit%%%%%%%%Specifically for this movie: 1. dialogues are not funny. they are cheesy, and cheap. Though akshay tried his best acting for which i admire him, comedy was not funny at all! I laughed only 3 times during this movie. 2. first half of the movie was useless to the story of the 2nd half. the 2nd half was the actual story/movie. the first half was time pass/build up. 3. The characters are not developed properly at all. paresh rawal is smart in the first half, an idiot in the 2nd half/rest of the movie. we don't really develop any feelings or caring for akshay, and govinda. their characters are stupid nothing more. they do not seem to struggle in their difficulties. Jokes are funny, but they are not funny in a very serious scene. the characters of the gang and the drug smugglers are cheesy and have been used in last 20 movies. there is nothing new about those characters. Again, they are shown to be stupid for being funny. however, stupid=funny when stupid is the norm throughout the whole movie. the only character that made sense was that of lara dutta with a real story. 4. special effects were crap. at the end, ppl r fallin off the ladder of a fire truck. you notice that they are not actually on ladder in air. secondly, ppl start to fly off when the ladder starts to move around. ppl can't fly off a ladder when its moving...they fall directly to the ground due to something called gravity. 5. the whole movie was dubbed. all the dialogues were recorded after the movie. The actors' lips hardly synced to the dialogues. There are probably many other reasons why this movie was crap, but i can't remember them. look at this masterpiece of crappy Indian movies by non-intelligent, even stupid, director yourself and you will agree with my review. ppl who like Hindi movies, please increase your expectations for decent quality in Hindi movies. Let me say that not all Hindi movies are bad. I like some. i did not like this one. 1.5/10 (1.5 for the effort by akshay and lara)
