Director Priyadarshan who attempted varied genres over the years, has come out with a
simple story. 'Bhagam Bhag' is not his finest effort in the comedy genre, but it provides
ample laughter and entertainment in the final tally.
Champak (Paresh Rawal) has a theatre group in India and he performs shows all over
the country. Bunty (Akshay) and Babla (Govinda) along with others are actors in the
group. Both are naughty-natured guys who never miss a chance to flirt with girls, even
with girls in the group. Once Champak's group is offered to perform shows in England.
Unfortunately, the heroine of the play (Tanushree Dutta) opts out due to Bunty's
misbehavior.
They reach London and start their search for a new girl for their play, with the help of a
taxi driver Gullu (Rajpal Yadav). In the process, Bunty and Babla fall into trouble
involving a drug baron (Manoj Joshi). Thereafter, Bunty and Gullu discover a girl Minni
(Lara Dutta), who suffers from amnesia, to act in their drama and just as Bunty and
Minni fall in love, she regains her memory and reveals that she's married to a
U.K.-based entrepreneur (Arbaaz Khan).
Performance:
Akshay Kumar did his best in the film. One can say Akshay Kumar is the best thing
about this film.Govinda doesn't get it right in his comeback vehicle. Also, he's looking
older and obese in the film. Paresh Rawal is competent, while Rajpal Yadav is superb,
but is sidelined in the second hour. Lara Dutta lacks the talent to carry off a challenging
role. Jackie Shroff is mechanical. Arbaaz Khan doesn't get much scope. Shakti Kapoor
is in true form. Manoj Joshi is okay. Tanushree Dutta looks glamorous in the 'Signal'
track. Pritam's music is loud and bordering on crass at times. Jeeva's camera work is
fine. Priyadarshan is saddled with an ordinary screenplay, there's not much he can do
to elevate the goings-on. Yet, there's no denying that his handling of the comic scenes
is superb.
