Featured reviews
The movie is about the entire stretch of a night and how a man pays for his mischief that he intended to play on others. A very light hearted comedy and very enjoyable.
Then why just 6 stars ? Well reading through some others reviews on this site I find that this movie is a copy of the french movie "Dinner Games" . To verify this I checked on the plot of the original and I found that indeed it is true. This requires that the director should acknowledge this fact in the titles but I don't remember having seen that in the movie titles.
Well apart from this fact ( though a very embarrassing one ) the movie's direction is flawless and the story is very humorous.
Some people say its bad just because its a copy, but i go against those statements,because copying is not the point, the point is the good movie of French could be understood only by people who knew French but because Sagar Ballary made the movie in Hindi, a language know by many people in India, the movie could be viewed in India, and give the excitement of of the French movie in India. OK we could tell the movie was bad if the acting was bad, but actually the acting was too good.
Seeing the above statement i feel the movie is a 1 time must watch since its an excellent movie and i think it was a worth watching movie since it was a simple good comedy, I do not care whether it was a French copy, I am happy that Sagar Ballary brought the movie to India.
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!
