Like the name all the characters in the movie keep running till the movie ends. I wonder how come the audience sticked to their seat till the end. I can not say this is the best Govinda movie I have seen till date as long as there are movies like Hatya & .... I don't remember anymore.This is a much hyped comeback movie of Govinda. But will it be a real comeback for him or he will have to come back again and again till one more decade only time will tell.Critically speaking, the movie is horrible. But the movie has been a hit among masses. On an average a nice attempt by Priyadarshan to revive a sinking career of Govinda.

The very reason I had for seeing this movie is now questionable, I've said it many times before but Neeraj Vora is the bane of Indian Comedy and if I had known that he has written this movie I would have never seen it.Anyway I'm sure his expiry date is near and sooner or later the Indian audiences will reject his brand of inspired humour, and hopefully unlike Indian Cricket, Priyadarshan to will be rested till he comes back with something original. Both of them have contributed nothing new to movies in the last 5 years and have instead relied on the narrow exposure of the Indian Audience to rehash every successful movie from anywhere in the world.In this case the movie in question are ITS A MAD MAD MAD WORLD (1963) and would you believe it AJNABEE (which I'm told was inspired to) Haha much like his earlier movies that are a blend of English movies and a Hindi one (mainly Govinda's).Still I had my doubts and had the good sense to see it in a single screen theater at cheaper rates.This movie starts of promisingly enough with the original story and the identifiable concept of the Indian Troupe, which is always on the lookout for funds and the Big Foreign Break, the competition between the protagonists is hilarious.Towards the second half of the movie the copy mode starts and then no movie is left sacred once again he rehash's the stories and even copies the last 10 minutes exactly from Its a mad mad...Till the last 45 Min's or so of the movie you are laughing and smiling but its all down hill from there and your not really able to leave the movie with a good feeling.Even the stalls (which really makes or breaks movies, who cares about me who's watched 100s of movies on DVD and in multiplexes), was bored and the laughter index was on a constant downfall.Direction and technical aspects were not important although the film had a couple of good sets.The acting was very good and predictably so, but Akshay, Paresh and Govinda (who seemed like a supporting actor after a while) have delivered similar performances in at least a dozen movies in fact of the lot Govinda gave the most different performance so you know how boring their performances are becoming.Lara Dutta still cannot act she always looks like she is about to smile, RAJPAL YADAV HAS CROSSED THE LINE he has crossed Johny Lever in the annoyance department in less movies then Johny took to be annoying.The songs were bad and you hardly felt like singing along with any of them (another low for priyadarshans films).The Indian setting is once again sacrificed to extensive benefits doled out foreign countries so that they can promote tourism, and the fact that filmmakers feel that foreign locales are much better, and preferred by Indian Audiences.Still the comic performance of this movie is unquestionable, there are scores of hilarious scenes and dialogues.Some brilliant ones are Ladki Ki izzat, the bag exchange in the park, the stuffed car etc.You are laughing quite often especially for the first 2 hours of the movie, but the downhill journey from there and the feeling that you've been had, and watched a sub-par movie purely based on the past credentials.Overall despite the stellar performances and some good scenes this movie falls way short of expectations (this is govindas comeback film even).A trip to the theater at multiplex rates will guarantee disappointment and so will buying the DVD, this movie is better watched at low matinée rates or better still in parts when it comes on TV.-s pathetic script, bad supporting cast, bad songs, steep downhill journey at the end.+/-s Govinda, Akshay and Paresh doing what they do best (seen to many times?....i think so),London setting (not London actually though).+s bunch of hilarious scenes.total (5/10 after factoring in expectations and on absolute scale, the fact that Neeraj Vohra wrote it has not been considered).

Go and Watch it. It's not as bad as it's been portrayed by our friends.When we learn Bhagam Bhag is been directed by Priyadarshan then expectations are too high, but we should understand not every Comedy Flick can make it as big as Hera Pheri.so guys don't expect and watch Bagham Bagh, since it's a OK or i should say Good Movie ( because of some moments in movie ).As every one were expecting this movie to be a rip roaring comedy, since * Akshay, Govinda, Paresh and Directed by Priyadarshan ( Who provided us great comedy hits like Hera Pheri, Hungama ), I was little disappointed when i watched Bhagam Bagh, since Story was not convincing, as he had compromised comedy to murder mystery ( Comedy gets faded at every stage), There are few funny moments to tickle your rib's. Akshay as expected was good with his comedy timing, Govinda was looking too OLD or should i say Horrible, Paresh Rawal didn't had much to act. Lara Dutta has substantial role, she tried to enact well. Jackie role was wasted.Songs are good, Some of the scenes where picked from south Indian movie.

After three hours in the Cinema hall,the strongest impression garnered was that their is something amiss. What was clear was that the Directors forgot to direct, the actors to act and most importantly the script writer to write. Evervbody shouted without reason and made one cringe. The script moved on and on with lots of avoidable twists and turns ending in now, too familiar Priyadarshan theory of Converging actors at a single point. This theory worked well in Hera-Pheri and Hungama but somehow managed to irritate this time, so did the habit of every actor's incapacity to answer asked of them directly. Simplest questions such as " what is your name would be repeated N times".Finally what was amiss was that the director forgot that his audience have something called intelligence.
