Bheja Fry

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 !!!

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.

I first came to know about this movie was through IMDb votes. May be because of its star cast (which I respect a lot today) I was not interested. Any ways I decided to watch it because of reason I mentioned. To my surprise it turned out hilarious.

It's not one of your Adult comedies which turn out extremely entertaining because of its adult factor.

The show runs for about one and half hour. It is perfectly scripted and synchronized to keep you in your seat for all this time, kudos for that. The fun ride never ends; something comes up at every instance as the movie progresses.

While reading some of the reviews I got to know the movie to be copy of a French film. What I think is it doesn't matter. For me it was original. To add further I encourage such originals.

Acting: To act with such a script was difficult. Vinay Pathak nailed it. Ranvir Shorey was a treat to watch as well.

Final Verdict: I would say I have seen such a level of humor only in adult comedies. Thus it stands in crowd. Please do watch it!

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 .

I do not know, whether its a copy of a French movie as it is said by other people.

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.
