Featured reviews
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!
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.
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.
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!

- TriviaThis is a copy of a french movie Dîner de cons, Le (1998). Also known as "The Dinner Game" (English title). Someone says that it has been copied from dinner for schmucks which is absolutely wrong as this released in 2007.
