Bhagam Bhag

Last month Arka, our long time coffeehouse friend left for the states. Today we received a letter from him. Arka still likes to write letters. He used to say writting letter is an art . He used to feel that email applications are gradually making it an extinct species on earth.

Coming back to the letter, Arka wrote a letter about a recent hindi film that he watched in a theater in New York. Here is how he wrote the letter.

Dear Friends,

Wish you a merry christmas. I hope you guys are still having a good time at the coffeehouse. I had nothing else to do in the evening today. So, I thought to write about the film that I saw in the afternoon today. The name of the film is "Bhagam Bhag". It is the latest Indian film showing in the theaters here. I went to watch the film right after lunch. I was little early at the theater. The usual commercials were showing on the big screen which made me feel sleepy. I woke up suddenly with the Dolby Digital sound. As you are familiar, I am not a very big fan of hindi movies, I thought I probably would be sleeping through the movie. Well, it turned out to be the other way round. After a few minutes of watching I found it quite interesting and it drove my sleep away.

It is a commedy flick by Priyadarshan where Paresh Rawal leads a Drama company. The drama company flies to London for a performance scheduled there by Asrani. However, the drama company lost their heroine when she left after being irritated by the erotic approaches of Akshay Kumar and Govinda. The performance is now in a jeopardy without the heroine. So Paresh Rawal announces whoever can find a heroine will act as the hero in the drama. Then starts the "Heroine Search" competition between Akshay and Govinda. In pursuit of a heroine, Akshay meets Munni(Lara Dutta) who was suffering from Amnesia and had suicidal tendency. Akshay talked her into acting in their drama as a heroine. It later turns out that Lara is part of a bigger conspiracy that leads to a murder. Akshay, Govinda and Paresh Rawal become the prime suspects of the murder. They managed to escape from police custody. They were determined to get to the root of the conspiracy to prove themselves innocent. Finally they come out triumphant.

The movie did not have a great story but it was hilarious. Rajpal Yadav, Akshay, Govinda and Paresh did great in the movie. The movie is in the same lines as "Hera Pheri" and when watching some scenes you might actually think that you are watching Hera Pheri.

To conclude it is a movie worth watching. If you have not seen it yet go see it soon.

I must signoff now. Write to me about your recent discussions at the coffeehouse(about the ones you have not published yet).

Arka.
