(translates as "running around")
2006
2/5 stars
Champak Chaturvedi (Paresh Rawal) is the director of a theater group whose heroine (Tanushree Dutta) attracts a British businessman into hiring them for a London show. His two male leads, Bunty (Akshay Kumar) and Babla (Govinda), are both vying for the attention of said heroine and annoy her enough that she quits, leaving Champak in a lurch. While in London, Bunty and Babla search for a replacement, leading to a mix-up with a drug ring, trouble with the police, a murder, and involvement with an amnesiac, suicidal actress, Munni (Lara Dutta).
With three superb comedians in the lead, and an excellent supporting cast, this suspense-comedy had such promise, but did not deliver. There was little-to-no chemistry between any of the main actors, particularly between Akshay Kumar and Govinda, so most of the humor simply fell flat, or the situations were so silly that they just were not funny. The thriller element was good, but simply was not strong enough to override the rest of the movie. The songs were average or below, with one being particularly off-putting. Overall, Bhagham Bhag was such a disappointment.
