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.

I saw this with high expectations. Come on, it is Akshay Kumar, Govinda, and Paresh Rawal, who are all amazing at their comedy, I was really hoping for a laugh riot. Sadly, that is not what I got at all...Unfortunately, nothing in this movie really made me laugh out loud. There were times when I chuckled at one or two things, but nothing really made me laugh. In short, it was badly attempted comedy, and in a way, a bit of a Hera Pheri wannabe.Out of the three main guys, I think Paresh Rawal's role was the most powerful. It wasn't the biggest role, but it certainly stood out more than Govinda or Akshay. Their performances were okay I guess. Nothing special, just mediocre. Though Govinda stole the limelight from Akshay in more than a few scenes. Lara Dutta and Tanushree Dutta also make appearances in this film, and both of them were pretty bad. Lara's role did not move me, or make me laugh, and Tanushree Dutta's character just got on my nerves! The music seems to be the only good thing about Bhagam Bhag. My favourite song is "Tere Bin", followed by "Afreen", which I really liked. "Signal" and the title song "Bhagam Bhag" are also worth a listen.You either will like it or you won't. And judging by the poor comedy and lack of direction, I don't think you will.

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+

Like the name all the characters in the movie keep running till the movie ends. I wonder how come the audience sticked to their seat till the end. I can not say this is the best Govinda movie I have seen till date as long as there are movies like Hatya & .... I don't remember anymore.This is a much hyped comeback movie of Govinda. But will it be a real comeback for him or he will have to come back again and again till one more decade only time will tell.Critically speaking, the movie is horrible. But the movie has been a hit among masses. On an average a nice attempt by Priyadarshan to revive a sinking career of Govinda.
