just watch it!

Brilliant and touching

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

My actual rating is 7/10 but after seeing other reviews and critics reviews I made it 8. Bhagam bhag is an entertainer of all time. One can't change the TV channel when it's Bhagam Bhag on the screen. Its a film which is connected in all aspects. It needs to be watched with attention and dialogues need to be heard carefully to understand this movie. Each and every scene in this movie is very well acted funny and entertaining. BGM is the powerhouse of this movie its one of the best BGMs of all time. Locations are very nice. Editing is done very well, there is no scene extra. There is no scene you can say why is this in film because everything is interconnected so well. Performances are like when it comes to Priyadarshan Comedies its obvious that you just can't sit without rib tickles by some actors. I will go by order of best performances I felt. Paresh Rawal is master of this film. Manoj Joshi is simply amazing. Then comes Akshay Kumar then Rajpal Yadav, Govinda, Shakti Kapoor, Lara Dutta, Jackie Shroff, Asrani, Sharat Saxena and others. The suspense part of the film is gripping. Comedy starts from starting of the film till the end. The police chase scene is the highlight scene and shows acting class of the actors in that sequence. Climax could have been better. Some scenes you can consider illogical but they are taken in a comic way. Dialogues I would say people haven't heard them well and they are really awesome, appreciable and making us laugh very much. The suspense and Comedy are mixed is a very nice way by the director. And if this is considered lame comedy by critics then Jim Carrey, Mr. Bean and Charlie Chaplin comedies are lame too. It is one of the best comedies ever made. Overall Bhagam Bhag is a joyride and is an all time entertainer by all means.

This film was a hit, it's supposed to be a no brain popcorn entertainer but there are far to many times that this film fails to do what it set out to achieve. The problem lies within it's writing, direction, and to a lesser extent - it's acting. But there are a few positives, there are certain scenes that may induce a chuckle but not a laugh and there are also moments where the actors shine. Unfortunately, the script never allows for the film to reach it's full potential.Akshay Kumar heads the ensemble, he works competently with what the script and the direction have given him. But he by no means shines, he is the Akshay that we have seen before. He is suited for physical comedy but has not been able to harness the magic that could possibly help elevate him in the eyes of others. There are certain scenes he manages to reach beyond the script and entertain but ultimately the is dragged down by poor direction and a poor script. Govinda, however, manages to work well with what he has and dare I say it, manages to outshine the rest of the cast which includes Jackie Shroff, Lara Dutta, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadev and Shakti Kapoor. The problem with the acting is there is almost no direction given to the actors, it's almost as if Priyadarshan has given free reign to them but they are not capable of handling that freedom.The script is ludicrous and has no rhyme or reason to it. Even if the film functions as a no brainer popcorn flick, there still has to be an underlying aspect to the story for it to function properly. The film contains shades of noir but is to hollow to be regarded as noir and instead we get a mystery that is never fully explored and a comedy that doesn't live up to it's potential. Granted, I had low expectations to begin with - and this film did not even live up to that, barring a few amusing scenes (which included the film's climax), but not once did I laugh. Instead I groaned, moaned, and continued to watch because I'm the type of person who sits through a film all the way through.The music is horrendous and like the film - has potential but does not live up to expectations or go beyond anything sub par.The direction is horrible and unrestrained, even for a comedy there needs to be restrained in the direction - one singular vision that can help bring everything together, but Priyadarshan does not live up to the hype that once surrounded his name and because of his direction, he manages to bring the entire film down with his fledging career.5.5/10: The film has it's moments but in capable hands it could have used several re-writes as well as another director for it to succeed.

Rs.30/- is all I paid as rent for the DVD of the movie and believe me it is not worth it.Bollywood directors think that showing fools is funny? well it is not. Please grow up.Here goes a dialog from the movie -'AGAR TUM LADKEE KO IJJAT DOGE TO LADKEE TUMHE APNI IJJAT DEGI'.Plot is useless, criminals and police alike running after fools. That is it. BHAGAM BHAG.Well it lived the title, I had to run away from it. :) I switched over to Star Movies and watched Home Alone 2 instead, and had a good laugh.

Think of it. Comedy King GOVINDA, Comedy Champ Paresh Rawal & Comedy Star Akshay Kumar. Then Priyadarshan is the Director. What else can you look for, what better combination can you make! Of course expectations have to be high, higher, highest.Bhagam Bhag is a nice movie with lots of its own moments of laughter, some very funny dialogues, nice scenes and beautiful song & music. But is that just enough when we have the Champions around. Don't we expect more, a BLAST may be? Its story of Champak Chaturved (Paresh Rawal) who has a theatre group in India and he performs shows all over the country. Bunty (Akshay Kumar) and Babla (Govinda) are actors in the group who are very naughty natured guys who never miss any chance to flirt with girls, even the girls in the group. They Go to London for a series of show but there heroine runs away. They discover a girl Munni (Lara Dutta), who suffers from amnesia to act in their drama and just as Bunty and Munni fall in love, her memory returns and it brings chaos into their lives, including a murdered husband! A series of funny event start which lead to an unexpected climax. Initially it seems Arbaaz & then the Commissioner (Jackie Shroff) who is behind all the mystery which further leads to strange ending.So its an OK movie with OK storyline & concept. Of course all of these are not major elements of a Priyadarshan movie. The major element is laughter, which doesn't seem as strong and powerful here. Akshay, Paresh & of course Govinda rock & roll. It's a nice come back for Govinda but again it could have been better. Same with the whole movie.Priyam Sir, we expected more, a lot may be...
