Memorable, crazy movie

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I was all in awe of the film looking at the promos and went to watch it FDFS The film was horrible to say the leastThe first scene is good and till they go to London things are funny but slowly the pace slackens and they is nothing funny about itThe Manoj Joshi subplot is funny at places but is unwanted and adds to the boredomThe drugs part is funny especially the monologue of GovindaThe film goes on and on aimlessly just like a small kid has written itThe interval brings a twist in the story but by then i lost hopeThe second half starts okay but the way things are handled makes a mockery The entire Arbaaz- Jackie angle is half baked Also how come people don't identify them?The climax is quite funny though stupidPriyadarshan is not at all in his elements, from this film he started doing craps and his films got bad and bad Music is good, SIGNAL, TERE BIN stand out and AFREEN too Camera-work is goodAkshay Kumar has white in his stubble and looks old but he acts well though this role he has done many times yet thanks to his natural comedy acting things look bearable Govinda looks out of shape, bad and his act except monologue is boring too surprising from Govinda seems too much pressure on him to comeback and Priyan fails to utilize him Paresh is okay in parts but overall just repeat act Manoj Joshi is funny at places Sharat Saxena is okay Shakti Kapoor is great Jackie Shroff looks overweight and acts in his sleep Arbaaz Khan is bad Lara Dutta shrieks to glory but fails to act

Or ridiculously hilarious, whichever you prefer, you'll still get side splitting pains from laughing so hard. Bhagam Bhag is Indian slapstick comedy in probably it's purest form. The writer Neeraj Vora (the writing brain behind the Golmaal, Phir Hera Pheri, Hera Pheri, Hulchul, Rangeela, and Hungama) clearly is no stranger to the genre but obviously was either smoking something serious or had a screw or two lose while drafting this sometimes hard to digest mega mêlée.Govinda (in his welcome back from hiatus role) and Akshaye Kumar play competitive entertainers working together in a traveling stage company. They compete over everything including the unsolicited attention of whomever or whoever is playing the female lead in their shows (we meet Ms. Tanushree Dutta in the current role as the film begins but later come to understand that many women have filled this role in the past). Blink and you'll miss her (Ms. Tanushree that is, em...I'm going to refrain from referring to her as Ms. Dutta as there are two of them within the same film as you will see later on). Ms. Tanushree's character gets caught up in a fake-love-triangle-confusion between Babla and Bunty (Govinda & Kumar respectively) which forces her to quit the show in the wake of an overseas travel gig. This sends their boss (Played by Paresh Rawal) into a tizzy. Since Babla and Bunty were responsible for the leading lady's resignation, the boss makes it their sole responsibility upon arriving in the UK to scout around for a new leading lady. And to make sure that they don't take the assignment lightly he tells them that whomever finds the most suitable leading lady by the deadline will play the leading man opposite her. This sends to the two into a competitive overdrive that lands them more than they actually bargained for. Personally, the plot twist that is introduced after this, is where the film started to go wrong for me. I was fine without the introduction of Lara Dutta's character, her multiple identities and all the drama she brought with her.Bunty and Babla get mixed up in a international drug ring operation the eventually reveals that every character that you've seen in the film so far has some kind of past history that connects them to the next person. When Lara Dutta's character is introduced as a suicidal witch-like figure in the middle of the night, it's no doubt who is going to fall in love with her (Bunty for those of you who don't already see the cliché), she over-acts most of her scenes and lacks genuine emotion in the ones where she doesn't over-act! This film did her no justice at all, except for in the one song number she appeared in 'Tere Bin' which also happens to be arguable the best song in the movie.Jackie Schroff plays a police commissioner with a secret of his own, Sharat Saxena "Yes Bosses" his way through his goon role, Rajpal Yadav is honest and quite himself as Gullu the Cabbie, Shakti Kapoor plays a drunken street thug who inadvertently helps Bunty land Munni(Ms. Lara), Manoj Joshi and Arbaaz Khan round out the cast with co-starring roles. Yes it was funny and yes it's worth a watch but it wasn't worth all the hype at all. C+

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!

Its VERY difficult to make a murder mystery with a comical theme, and priyadarshan created it successfully - perhaps his best film to date. The story revolves around 3 main characters - Govinda and Aakshay who play main leads in Paresh Rawal's theatre group. the group of around 30 strike lucky when they're called to London to perform, but due to Aakshay and Govinda's flirtatious nature they lose the heroine! What follows is the mad search for a heroine, bhagam bhag from police, bhagam bhag from gangsters and bhagam bhag from underworld dons! Govinda's comeback is sweet - only he could portray the character with such excellence, and the reason behind the movie's comic nature is due to mostly him and Paresh Rawal. Rawal, as usual, is gold. His timing is perfect, and sometimes you're on the floor in laughter (for example the bomb joke). Aakshay followed suit with a loverboy/leader attitude, his emotions sometimes made you feel sorry for him, but also laugh as the movie progresses....all in all, a laugh riot, and a thrilling ride keeping you on the edge!
