Bhagam Bhag Movie Review

The basic formula of ‘Bhagam Bhag’ is the same as any other Priyadarshan movie. The story’s central characters try to outsmart each other, but wind up in a situation where they are hunted by a number of other over-the-top characters. There are mistaken identities, a murder, an underhand plot, chaos and commotion.

The film’s crazy plot, filled with comic chaos and confusion, is its main USP. On top of it, Akshay Kumar shows his impeccable flair for comedy.

In the movie, Champak (Paresh Rawal) owns and runs a theatre group in India. Bunty (Akshay Kumar) and Babla (Govinda) are two of the many actors who work in it. Both are naughty guys who always run behind girls. Because of their misbehaviour, the main heroine of their group (Tanushree Datta) opts out of the theatre. On the other hand, an organizer (Asrani) offers Champak to perform various shows in London.

Champak and his group reach London and they start finding a girl who would work in their shows in London. Bunty finds one girl, Munni (Lara Dutta). Bunty started falling in love with Munni. But there is one problem-Munni suffers from amnesia and suicidal tendency. And one day, she regains her memory and reveals that she is actually married to rich man in Liverpool, Vikram (Arbaaz Khan).

Bhagam Bhag has lots of nice and funny moments in the first half. In fact, the first half does not have a single boring moment. It moves very fast. During the intermission point, you are fully entertained and you look forward for a great second half--a second half with lots of expectations. But in the second half, humour evaporates and its place is taken by murder mystery. The murder mystery sequence begins quite well. It was very clearly carried out and it was slightly shocking too. But later, you get a feeling that the mystery gets solved quickly and the movie should end fast

On the whole, Bhagam Bhag is not the best from Priyadarshan. The first half is excellent with lots of funny moments. But it’s the second half, which largely disappoints due to the murder mystery and its excessive length. Therefore, it’s worth watching just once.

All said, ‘Bhagam Bhag’ is a good timepass flick. It offers nothing outstanding or extraordinary. It entertains you for three hours and leaves you with smiles.
