I am disappointed with the sequel, much like I am with other sequels of terrific movies. This is a film which is nowhere near its prequel but is a decent comedy on its own.Vinay Phatak slightly overacts out of his witty, jovial character. Shekhar Menon as his IT officer friend is good, just like Ranvir Shorey in the prequel. But the latter excels. Kay Kay Menon is fantastic as always, but the plot is cringe-worthy and it destroys all their performances. First half is bearable, but second half when is just an example of poor writing & screenplay.Not much to talk about the film factors, Bheja Fry 2 is a one-time watch, if at all you should give it a chance. 5.6 out of 10. A failed sequel.BOTTOM LINE: Bheja Fry was not original but is a classic. Bheja Fry 2 is suicide. Bheja Fry 3 may be better.Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YESProfanity/Sex/Foreplay: No | Nudity/Vulgarity: Very Mild | Violence: Mild | Gore: No | Smoking/Drugs: No | Alcohol: Strong

After watching Bheja fry 1 I had high expectations for the sequel.Although it was a copy of a French movie,still it was a good one.However Bheja Fry 2 is a downer .Be prepared to douse your expectations in cold water.Firstly,its not exactly funny in the stricter sense of the term,may be once or twice it did bring a laugh or two.Otherwise its content may keep you mildly interested for a while.On the acting front Vinay Pathak is great as the bumbling,good hearted tax inspector.He is the only silver lining to this lackluster venture.May a good way to go and watch this movie would be to have very low expectations.You might as well enjoy it a little then.Otherwise don't waste your time and money.

Well well well Bharat Bushan(Vinay Pathak)is back,and back with a bang .All of you must have seen the promos and you would have thought that the film is about Bharat Bhushan meeting the girl of his dreams,getting married etc etc...But trust me its not about that .In the movie,Bharat wins 25 lakh rupees and also gets a free stay of 2 nights and three days at a star cruse after winning a certain quiz show .Over there he is misunderstood as an income tax officer by a business tycoon named Ajit Talwar .Hilarity ensues when Ajit Talwar(Kay Kay Menon) tries to put an end to this supposed income tax officer .They get stranded on an island and embark on a small adventure of saving themselves .Now,you must be wondering "where's the chick?".Well,she's just one of the makers of the quiz show and her name is Ranjini(Minissha Lamba).Her role is minimal and quite insignificant .Now,lets get to the performances .Vinay Pathak plays his role splendidly well and deserves all the plaudits which he is sure to receive .However,his role tends to drag and gradually gets boring and very irritating .Kay Kay Menon is very impressive and he this time he's the one who plays the victim of Bharat Bhushan's companionship .Amole Gupte,Minissha Lamba and Suresh Menon have minor but well played roles .Overall,the film is a success .The end is quite touching just like the first movie .Apart from certain drawbacks and flaws I am impressed with the film .7 stars out of 10 from me .

A low key 'Bheja Fry' was a runaway hit in 2007 and a lesser known Vinay Pathak was catapulted to comic stardom. Despite the fact that it was lifted straight from a French film, it had the audience laughing their hearts out. Pathak again dons the role of the stupid-irritating- talkative-singer-tax-man Bharat Bhushan in 'Bheja Fry 2'.The story begins by introducing Ajit Talwar (Kay Kay Menon), a successful businessman albeit with fishy dealings and an eye for pretty women. Ace tax-man MT Shekharan (Suresh Menon) has Talwar in his cross-hairs and is all set to nab him. Meanwhile, Bharat Bhushan is on a TV show where the audience loves his antics. Bhushan's popularity wins him the prize money and a holiday on a cruise-liner.Events unfold and the plot eventually leads Talwar and Bhusan to a marooned island, shot in Bintan, Indonesia where the lost duo meets a madcap photographer Raghu Burman (Amol Gupte) who loves Bhushan's singing. Shekharan who's on a chase adds to the mêlée. A twist here and there leads to an ending that seems quite pointless.In the absence of an 'inspiration', it appeared as if the filmmakers were lost about how to take it forward. Vinay Pathak becomes Bharat Bhushan, but his humor is predictable. One can find parallels with his role as Manu Gupta in 'Chalo Dilli'. Suresh Menon isn't as effective as Ranveer Shorey was in the first. Kay Kay Menon was as good as Rajat Kapoor was but didn't have a supporting character like that of Milind Soman's. Minisha Lamba was only supposed to look pretty.The first half had the perfect setting: a corrupt and womanizing corporate honcho, a funding hungry channel owner, reality TV, some adultery, a couple of tax sleuths who are best buddies but with opposing attitudes towards work, and all on a cruise liner for a weekend. But, the second half lost itself on the island as did its lead its characters.Seen stand-alone, it is a sub-standard screenplay which didn't use good actors like Kay Kay Menon, Vinay Pathak or even Amol Gupte. On whether it justifies the genre it belongs to, 'Bheja Fry 2' is quite funny at times, although not as funny as the first one was. Still, the actors manage to hold the plot together despite its flaws. Nonetheless, it is better than the multitude of senseless Akshay Kumar comedies that only ride on stars and item numbers. To sum up, Bheja Fry 2 isn't well cooked, but it won't hurt your tummy! But a wee bit of finesse could've made it much better.
