Bheja Fry

Bheja Fry directed by Sagar Ballary is very funny.

One might be surprised that how the director must have packed all the funny scenes in those 95 minutes.

I have never laughed this much in any movie as I did in Bheja Fry.Its a laughing gas.The start is a bit slow,but once we are introduced to the hero Bharat Bhushan(Vinay Pathak),the movie starts getting fast paced.

The story is good.

The screenplay is watertight.

There is only song in the movie which is okay.

Dialogs are witty.

Performances-Vinay Pathak is the real star!He is superb as Bharat Bhushan.Rajat Kapoor is effective.Milind Soman is good.Ranvir Shorey is funny in a brief role.Sarika is good.Tom Alter is plain.

Overall Bheja Fry is for those who are die-hard fans of COMEDY and for those who are not it can be a stress-buster.Enjoy!

Beginning with, I must say this movie, knit around few characters is a real winner in its own sense. No big casting, few characters and all these characters were a perfect match. The real show stealer was Vinay Pathak in the role of Bharat Bhushan. With the flavor of foolishness and innocence he cruised well along the movie, and this foolishness also brings along a hilarious range of events which is pretty enjoyable. Also Ranvir Shorey in his small role was impressive. Also the length of the movie is nearly 90 minutes which makes sure u are gripped through the entire movie. I would recommend to watch this movie with keeping your working brains aside and just NJOI !!!

Bheja Fry is unlike any comedy film you must have seen in recent past. It has no big names in the cast, you might not have heard about the director either, promotion of the film is a low key affair... No loud comic drama, no banana slips to make you laugh, no double meaning dialogs. But still it easily qualifies for the most hilarious film of the year. It is 100 odd minutes of pure humor. The film surprises you with the unique wit and classic comedy.

You might not be expecting anything from the film and might come out highly satisfied. That is the best thing about the film. This is probably the first time the comic potential of Vinay Pathak has been utilized fully. This is one actor with amazing comic timing. The characters of the film are highly believable and you can actually recall at least one person you know/have met which is similar to each character in the film.

The film boasts of great acting,great situations and a very simple script. Though its an adaptation of a french film, it hardly takes the credit away from any of the actors.

Watch it for sure, because if you've not seen this, you've laughed less this year.

Bheja fry even though a good movie ... is sadly ,copied "inspired" from the 1998 French movie Dîner de cons, Le (1998). Also known as "The Dinner Game" (English title).

Many scenes are exact copy "inspiration" of the French version. The difference being that the French counterpart is an artist who has a great talent of making structures using matchsticks , while as the Indian one is a no good singer, in the French version the customs officer loves football , and the Indian , Cricket. apart from these "regional" details the movie is a complete copy of the already highly acclaimed French movie . The directors and producers keep the Indian public in dark by making them think how well the story line is and what a wonderful "indigenous" movie have they made. It would have been much respectful , it they would have mentioned at least in the credits that this movie was " inspired " from the play and movie written by Francis Veber.

Anyways its good to see at least they are aiming their "inspirations " not just at Hollywood movies , but also to the other foreign language movies too . Its a treat to know how well do they copy the real one but anyhow the Movie is a treat to watch and really a must watch movie , the actors and the movie staff have done their job really well. So go ahead n watch the movie .

The name "bheja fry" didn't promise much grandeur for sure and I went to the hall expecting the worst and cursing my friend who has dragged me into this. But what came was a pleasant surprise as the 95 min. film turned out to be an enthralling rib-tickling joyride. Vinay Pathak has long been an underrated actor and he proves his calibre by delivering a powerhouse performance which lifts an otherwise average film to a comic extravaganza. Everything from his looks to his dialogue delivery was spontaneously suave and had the audience rolling with laughter. The story basically is based on one night when a Music-company owner(Rajat Kapoor) invites a "talented" singer (Pathak) for dinner and that night changes his life in many ways.

Rajat Kapoor delivers a decent performance. Sarika looks fresh in a comeback role of sorts. Both Milind Soman and Ranveer Shorey does their part full justice but again Vinay Pathak stole the show. Watch it if you want to watch a good comedy........boy!! Indian cinema needs more of these.
