Bhagam Bhag's first half, which is full of whacky humour tickles your funny bone, with the sheer hysteria that it creates; while the second half takes a form of a suspense thriller leaving you glued to the edge of your seat - a murder mystery unfolds!
Bunty (Akshay Kumar) and Babla (Govinda) are actors working in Sethji's (Paresh Rawal) drama troop. One fine day, destiny strikes gold, when an organizer offers this theatre group a chance to perform 30 shows in England, after witnessing one of their vivacious performances.
Just as they are about to leave, the heroine, Anjali (Tanushree Dutta) chooses to opt out thanks to a flirtatious Bunty. The troop decides to carry on the plans of finding a heroine in England. Once they land in UK, Bunty and Babla start their desperate chase to find a belle, as, whoever finds a heroine first, gets to be the hero!
Babla secretly seeks help of Gullu (Rajpal Yadav), a taxi driver, who misinterprets Babla's 'girl's need' thus leading him and Bunty to a drug baron and many more misunderstandings thereby. Bunty too doesn't have it easy.After much trial and tribulations, Bunty bumps into a mentally disturbed and suicidal girl, Mini (Lara Dutta), who agrees to play the heroine's role. Everything seems good until, after yet another suicide attempt, Lara loses her memory and remembers only her husband (Arbaaz Khan)!
After she gets back to her hubby, shocking events follow - a murder takes place and the trio of Bunty, Babla and sethji is held responsible for it!
'Who has committed the murder?' is the question.The music is fun and jazzy while ' Pyar ka signal' sets a carnival mood, ' Tere Bin' , has a strong romantic flavour to it.
Akshay steals the show with his amazing comic timing while Govinda looks a tad too old but his wonderful performance overshadows his looks department. Paresh's character is quick-witted as usual and he's the icing on the cake, Lara acts well, however, Tanushree doesn't have much scope in this one.
Don't miss this one. It's a must watch!!!!
