Bhagam Bhag Trailers

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.

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.

Everybody was damn excited about this film. More than 22 crores of budget, perfect star cast, Priyadarshan and amazing promotions. But Bhagam Bhag doesn't go well compared to all the above mentioned jazz. Govinda is back after a very long time but there is nothing much to do for him! He is the biggest star when you call for an effortless dancing and perfectly framed comedy but look at him in this movie. There's no solo dance no. for him, no perfectly timed comedy and he is looking old and fat. We all know, for Priyadarshan movie, don't use your brain to find out some logic in that movie. You just enjoy the trail-rail of all the comic scenes lined-up just to make you laugh! But here, nothing so great and nothing to title 'perfect comedy'. Akshay Kumar has repeated his same old comic style that has been done and re-done in Hera Pheri, Awara Pagal Deewana, Garam Masala, etc.Still, the movie has lot to offer. The first half is fast and you'll hardly have time to understand what's going on! Govinda still has that charm and Akshay, Raghuvir Yadav, Shakti Kapoor have done justice to there roles. Not to forget, king of all comedies, Paresh Rawal! Doing all villainous roles in his earlier days and now, full-fledged comedian and character artist Paresh has also got his own space to lead some hilarious scenes. To be honest, he could've performed better. Lara Dutta is looking pretty and has some moments.The confusion scenes between our heroes and the funny underworld guys are too hilarious and one of the highlights of the movie. The combo of Govinda and Akshay goes well all together and in spite of lesser footage value to Govinda, they both look funny and equal all together.The music is totally in. The title song, 'Signal' and 'Tere Bin' are major hits already and ruling all the music/ video charts. Though there was some controversy with the music and story of the film. Bhagam Bhag is a re-make of a famous Tamil movie and the producer Sunil Shetty, famous Indian actor, faced a law-suit on not taking the permission before re-making. Sunil ended-up paying 75 lacs to the producers of that original movie. The music director, Pritam, has been charged of copying an English song and using that melody and tune in 'Bhagam Bhag'-the title song. In fact, all of Pritam's so-called original compositions in movies like Dhoom, Gangster, Garam Masala, Apna sapna money-money, Chocolate, Who lamhe, Pyar ke side effects, Fight-club, etc., have been lifted from other international music groups! All said and done, the movie is a good time-pass and watch-able for once. So please, do not hesitate and watch 'Bhagam Bhag' without finding any logic in it!

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.

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.
