Diagonaldi Very well executed

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Sherazade 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+

bemine_pras 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.

danzs This movie is crazy. Now that's acceptable for a comedy but what is Priyadarshan trying to do.Though he is quite innovative in creating a few scenes - on the whole he fails miserably in delivering a well packaged ride. I saw this movie albeit after a delay and expected a lot. After all getting to see Govinda join the fun-fare and great promos of the movie were very promising.But it turned out to be a damp squib. The director fails miserably to conjure up the magic of 'Hera Pheri,' and this time around he seems to have totally lost the plot.Govinda is wasted since even the best actor requires a script, Akshay Kumar is passable and does what's necessary, Paresh Rawal is nowhere half as humorous as he was portraying Baburao Ganpatrao Apte (Hera Pheri- 2000), the females are there to be forgotten.The plot or what little there is to it, revolves around the desi stage troupe of Champak Chaturvedi (Paresh Rawal). His lead pair is Bunty (Akshay) and Babla (Govinda). The troupe gets its best break when Asrani offers them a chance to tour London for a month. Alas the heroine (Tanushree Datta) runs away having had enough of these two who keep coming on strong.So the troupe reaches London and the chase begins to find a leading lady. Akshay meets up and enlists Lara Dutta despite her suicidal tendencies and affinity to fling herself before speeding cars…. Crazy enough… hold on.It gets crazier with these two getting all mixed up with criminals thinking them to be the police and vice-versa … plus there are a few local goons headed by Shakti Kapoor who is also after them to extract revenge for his fractured limbs. Rajpal Yadav is good as a taxi driver and Jackie Shroff struts along occasionally as the local police chief.Hold on… there is still something more, this chase gets now real complicated with a murder mystery attached to it. This comes across as a real spoiler... and I need not say more. Left the way it is… a crazy senseless chase with all the misconceptions, the movie shows promise with funny moments to tickle the audience and dialogues to boot. But this mystery angle comes along and simply spoils everything.Sanjay Dutt is supposed to have a guest appearance so watch the first 30 minutes closely.. I for one sure missed out on him. And for some reason the climax seems inspired from - It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) Once done with, I am confused whether to call it a comedy or a tragic comedy. Watch it in the theatre if you really have nothing better to do. Or else wait for the DVD release and watch it at home… better still… borrow it … cause though this chase is humorous on occasions … most of the time it gets to you with its unnecessary complexities and simply not worth spending much on.

psi_factor007 This was a Hindi movie. Hindi=Horrible. reasons: cheap dialogues, cheap special effects, cheap directing + stretching a 2 hr max movie into 3 hrs. %^^^^^^spoiler...little bit%%%%%%%%Specifically for this movie: 1. dialogues are not funny. they are cheesy, and cheap. Though akshay tried his best acting for which i admire him, comedy was not funny at all! I laughed only 3 times during this movie. 2. first half of the movie was useless to the story of the 2nd half. the 2nd half was the actual story/movie. the first half was time pass/build up. 3. The characters are not developed properly at all. paresh rawal is smart in the first half, an idiot in the 2nd half/rest of the movie. we don't really develop any feelings or caring for akshay, and govinda. their characters are stupid nothing more. they do not seem to struggle in their difficulties. Jokes are funny, but they are not funny in a very serious scene. the characters of the gang and the drug smugglers are cheesy and have been used in last 20 movies. there is nothing new about those characters. Again, they are shown to be stupid for being funny. however, stupid=funny when stupid is the norm throughout the whole movie. the only character that made sense was that of lara dutta with a real story. 4. special effects were crap. at the end, ppl r fallin off the ladder of a fire truck. you notice that they are not actually on ladder in air. secondly, ppl start to fly off when the ladder starts to move around. ppl can't fly off a ladder when its moving...they fall directly to the ground due to something called gravity. 5. the whole movie was dubbed. all the dialogues were recorded after the movie. The actors' lips hardly synced to the dialogues. There are probably many other reasons why this movie was crap, but i can't remember them. look at this masterpiece of crappy Indian movies by non-intelligent, even stupid, director yourself and you will agree with my review. ppl who like Hindi movies, please increase your expectations for decent quality in Hindi movies. Let me say that not all Hindi movies are bad. I like some. i did not like this one. 1.5/10 (1.5 for the effort by akshay and lara)
