BHAGO RE BHAGO THEATRE SE….
When I stepped into my favorite fast food chain Shiv Sagar, I was absolutely delighted to know that the Pav Bhaji maker hadn’t change since 2 years of my absentee from city. The same ingredients under safe hands of the chef assured me of mouth watering, finger licking and tongue rolling Pav Bhaji. Well, similar expectation rose while buying tickets to latest flick Bhagam Bhag knowing ingredients like Akshay Kumar , Neeraj Vora etc under master hands of Priyadarshan. But hardly was I known that my expectations would fall deeper than depths of Mumbai’s potholes.
All’s a world is a stage, was the film trying to show and we all are characters which run throughout our lives. The plot if they insist calling that a plot revolves under drama company headed by Champak Seth (Paresh Rawal) and to his uttermost worse fate has 2 good for nothing women chasing actors , Babla (Govinda) and Bunty (Akshay Kumar). These romeos are always luring after drama heroines and flirting with them leaving them no option but to leave the company. The drama company earns up a jackpot, a businessman (Asrani) from London, to perform there. But their heroine (Tanushree Dutta) runs away from group fed up of the flirts. Hence the company lends up in London with no heroine to stage. The hunt begins for their heroine in London, which is complicated and bigger than Zee Cinestars Ki Khoj. The search lands up them in police station having Commissioner Jackie Shroff for falsely acquiring drugs from local Mafia. In the hunt of their actress Bunty along with taxi driver (Rajpal Yadav) bang with Minni (Lara Dutta) a gal with sucidal tendencies for unknown reasons. Bunty manages to convince Minni by some unknown words and unshown scenes to work in their theatre group. And then the usual mushy romance between the hero Bunty and heroine Minnie occurs off stage during tour of London. Now to add twist to story Minni gets knocked off by a car and on regaining consciousness undertakes new identity with a husband (Arbaaz Khan ) from Liverpool. But then she ends up burning herself. The theatre decides to continue their musical without the Heroine, Cut to Minnie aka Aditi aka Sheetal appears alive and in front of Bunty and Sethji and also during show leading to confusion. Amidst the confusion, the hubby Arbaaz is shot and no one knows who shot him, but prime suspects are bunty, Babla and Sethji. The plot thickens and leading to so call run for the lives, drugs and money………
The script is stale and very poor retake of Marathi movie “Bindaast” along with excerpts taken from new “Ajnabee”. Whats with you, Neeraj Vora first Phir Hera Pheri now this? And for Priyanji please always plots on confusion and commotion do not work. So give us a brek and don’t waste your creativity.Show us something new. Well acting wise Paresh Rawaal was at his best with limited role and space to showcase his overpowered talent. Govindaji had extremely miniscule role, well was it the editor or Akshay Kumar who was brilliant for his role to blame for. Well as for Govinda , he better limit him to politics as his genre of comedy is gone. The bhelpuri and sexy jokes are niches of yore, today its substance which is perceived Virar ke babu.In all for audience its run away from theatre, Bhagam Bhag from theatre.
