Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

pop-16 This film brought two great actors together for the first time - Govinda and Akshay Kumar. Akshay Kumar was fast becoming the new comedy king while Govinda was making a comeback after some time out of Bollywood to concentrate on his political career.This movie was about a couple of theatre actors Bunty and Babla (presuming these character names were inspired from a film Bunty Aur Babli released in the previous year) who visit the UK to perform but end up embroiling in a murder incident.The film was mainly Akshay Kumar's with Govinda unfortunately playing his sidekick. Paresh Rawal had great scenes and Lara Dutta had been OK.It was a shame that Govinda was restricted in this film. I still cannot understand why he chose to act in such a movie. His role would've suited Sunil Shetty or someone who would suit better to play second fiddle to Akshay. Govinda was truly wasted in this film. When this film released I was really hoping Govinda would play a top role with Akshay Kumar but perhaps Priyadarshan was more in favour to give a better role to Akshay than Govinda. It was a shame that this film treated Govinda like a below average actor.Akshay Kumar did brilliantly in this film and had some comic scenes. He had more screen presence than Govinda.It is unlikely that these two will be in another movie after this (although they were in Holiday but Govinda in a small role) as Akshay Kumar is now in a different league while Govinda is trying to resurrect his fading stardom and career.

Avinash Patalay Its Priyan movie dude and nothing short of a full time-pass entertainer.Akshay Kumar:: Wherever humanly possible Akki delivers more than 100%. In layman terms, he overacts. If you ignore, with the assumption of signature style, then he is full-two.Govinda:: Makes his presence felt and surprisingly get adequate screen time too, considering the fact he is pitted against Priyan favourites namely "editing notorious" Akki and "cat-o-nine lives" Paresh Rawal. And Sunil Shetty would have been a bad choice definitely.Bunty and Babla? Any references to Bunti & Babli? Sorry just thinking aloud! Lara Dutta:: Doesn't leave any impact, hence its safe to say that she was miscast. And her suicidal tendencies part was not fleshed out adequately. In fact Tanushree Dutta in the cameo was far more convincing.Paresh Rawal:: If you don't expect a reprise of Hera Pheri, he is spot on in its own right. Any deficiencies... blame the writing department.Jackie Shroff:: Its good to see a Priyan's old timer this time around and being London MetPolice Chief is nothing short of creative liberties.Other regulars just chip in with special mention to Rajpal Yadav (spot on!), Sharat Saxena, Manoj Joshi (howls again!) and Asrani.Sorry I forgot about you Arbaaz. Bhagam Bhaag is a remake of Malayalam movie which was sequel to Hera Pheri. As usual Priyan and his team customised the recipe to suit the palette. Needless to say, moving the story-base to London, capturing the English summer and yet not losing sight of the plot has translated into a decent show. And for those who are crying foul, never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal... then.

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+

veerpattani 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!
