Dotbankey A lot of fun.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

silvan-desouza I was all in awe of the film looking at the promos and went to watch it FDFS The film was horrible to say the leastThe first scene is good and till they go to London things are funny but slowly the pace slackens and they is nothing funny about itThe Manoj Joshi subplot is funny at places but is unwanted and adds to the boredomThe drugs part is funny especially the monologue of GovindaThe film goes on and on aimlessly just like a small kid has written itThe interval brings a twist in the story but by then i lost hopeThe second half starts okay but the way things are handled makes a mockery The entire Arbaaz- Jackie angle is half baked Also how come people don't identify them?The climax is quite funny though stupidPriyadarshan is not at all in his elements, from this film he started doing craps and his films got bad and bad Music is good, SIGNAL, TERE BIN stand out and AFREEN too Camera-work is goodAkshay Kumar has white in his stubble and looks old but he acts well though this role he has done many times yet thanks to his natural comedy acting things look bearable Govinda looks out of shape, bad and his act except monologue is boring too surprising from Govinda seems too much pressure on him to comeback and Priyan fails to utilize him Paresh is okay in parts but overall just repeat act Manoj Joshi is funny at places Sharat Saxena is okay Shakti Kapoor is great Jackie Shroff looks overweight and acts in his sleep Arbaaz Khan is bad Lara Dutta shrieks to glory but fails to act

simian_ninja This film was a hit, it's supposed to be a no brain popcorn entertainer but there are far to many times that this film fails to do what it set out to achieve. The problem lies within it's writing, direction, and to a lesser extent - it's acting. But there are a few positives, there are certain scenes that may induce a chuckle but not a laugh and there are also moments where the actors shine. Unfortunately, the script never allows for the film to reach it's full potential.Akshay Kumar heads the ensemble, he works competently with what the script and the direction have given him. But he by no means shines, he is the Akshay that we have seen before. He is suited for physical comedy but has not been able to harness the magic that could possibly help elevate him in the eyes of others. There are certain scenes he manages to reach beyond the script and entertain but ultimately the is dragged down by poor direction and a poor script. Govinda, however, manages to work well with what he has and dare I say it, manages to outshine the rest of the cast which includes Jackie Shroff, Lara Dutta, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadev and Shakti Kapoor. The problem with the acting is there is almost no direction given to the actors, it's almost as if Priyadarshan has given free reign to them but they are not capable of handling that freedom.The script is ludicrous and has no rhyme or reason to it. Even if the film functions as a no brainer popcorn flick, there still has to be an underlying aspect to the story for it to function properly. The film contains shades of noir but is to hollow to be regarded as noir and instead we get a mystery that is never fully explored and a comedy that doesn't live up to it's potential. Granted, I had low expectations to begin with - and this film did not even live up to that, barring a few amusing scenes (which included the film's climax), but not once did I laugh. Instead I groaned, moaned, and continued to watch because I'm the type of person who sits through a film all the way through.The music is horrendous and like the film - has potential but does not live up to expectations or go beyond anything sub par.The direction is horrible and unrestrained, even for a comedy there needs to be restrained in the direction - one singular vision that can help bring everything together, but Priyadarshan does not live up to the hype that once surrounded his name and because of his direction, he manages to bring the entire film down with his fledging career.5.5/10: The film has it's moments but in capable hands it could have used several re-writes as well as another director for it to succeed.

Biswajit Tripathy 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.

himaank Everybody was damn excited about this film. More than 22 crores of budget, perfect star cast, Priyadarshan and amazing promotions. But Bhagam Bhag doesn't go well compared to all the above mentioned jazz. Govinda is back after a very long time but there is nothing much to do for him! He is the biggest star when you call for an effortless dancing and perfectly framed comedy but look at him in this movie. There's no solo dance no. for him, no perfectly timed comedy and he is looking old and fat. We all know, for Priyadarshan movie, don't use your brain to find out some logic in that movie. You just enjoy the trail-rail of all the comic scenes lined-up just to make you laugh! But here, nothing so great and nothing to title 'perfect comedy'. Akshay Kumar has repeated his same old comic style that has been done and re-done in Hera Pheri, Awara Pagal Deewana, Garam Masala, etc.Still, the movie has lot to offer. The first half is fast and you'll hardly have time to understand what's going on! Govinda still has that charm and Akshay, Raghuvir Yadav, Shakti Kapoor have done justice to there roles. Not to forget, king of all comedies, Paresh Rawal! Doing all villainous roles in his earlier days and now, full-fledged comedian and character artist Paresh has also got his own space to lead some hilarious scenes. To be honest, he could've performed better. Lara Dutta is looking pretty and has some moments.The confusion scenes between our heroes and the funny underworld guys are too hilarious and one of the highlights of the movie. The combo of Govinda and Akshay goes well all together and in spite of lesser footage value to Govinda, they both look funny and equal all together.The music is totally in. The title song, 'Signal' and 'Tere Bin' are major hits already and ruling all the music/ video charts. Though there was some controversy with the music and story of the film. Bhagam Bhag is a re-make of a famous Tamil movie and the producer Sunil Shetty, famous Indian actor, faced a law-suit on not taking the permission before re-making. Sunil ended-up paying 75 lacs to the producers of that original movie. The music director, Pritam, has been charged of copying an English song and using that melody and tune in 'Bhagam Bhag'-the title song. In fact, all of Pritam's so-called original compositions in movies like Dhoom, Gangster, Garam Masala, Apna sapna money-money, Chocolate, Who lamhe, Pyar ke side effects, Fight-club, etc., have been lifted from other international music groups! All said and done, the movie is a good time-pass and watch-able for once. So please, do not hesitate and watch 'Bhagam Bhag' without finding any logic in it!
