Now days, there are few Bollywood movies which are once watchable. Few of these make an impact, and very rare of those can be watched again and again. "Bheja Fry" has succeeded in entering in these rare category movies. It has everything a perfect Bollywood comedy should have.
Most part of it is comedy, but a tiny part is drama, and this tiny part is the one which makes a lot impact. The story revolves around two characters Ranbeer, a music company producer and Bharat Bhushan, a tax officer who thinks he is the best in everything, but very humble in nature. Ranjeet wants to take Bharat Bhushan to the special Friday night party but Ranjeet's wife Anjali leaves him at the same night. The rest of the movie is what all things he do to get his wife back, and how Bharat Bhushan helps him, even after knowing the bad intentions of Ranjeet.
The movie from starting get the hold of the audience and till end the grip gets tighter. Nowhere we find the movie boring or slow pacing. Songs are not introduced in the movies as they are not needed at all. The direction and script are too good. Special hats off to the actors Rajat Kapoor and Vinay Pathak, who has given full justice to their characters. Sometimes, you feel pity for Ranjeet, and again at others he is the worst guy you have ever seen. Same goes to Bharat Bhushan but in other sense. Other actors have also done very good in their limited roles.
After watching this movies I have guessed that the script can not be original. And after reading the comments here I find it is true. I haven't seen the original movie. But still I do not want to take credit from director or writer who has made this movie so hilarious.
The reason being copy cat movies are not new to Bollywood. In fact every other movies in todays Bollywood era is copied from some other movie. And these movies has failed miserably at box office, and also at the critics. This is because they didn't change the original script or story properly for Indian audience. There is a big list of such movies e.g all Bhatt movies 'Saaya', 'Zeher', 'The Killer', and many other movies as 'Awara Pagal Diwana', 'Diwane Huye Pagal' , 'Ab Bas', 'Kaante', 'Chocolate', 'zinda' and many more. Some of these were changed properly and were hits e.g. 'Aetbaar', 'Murder'. But most of the others failed miserably as the director don't know what to do to change the script for Indian audience, and end up putting unnecessary songs and romantic scenes in it.
It is because of this, I believe that creating a copy cat movie is more difficult than an original movie. Off course making is simple but making it in a way that Indian audience will like it is difficult. Even in this movie 'Bheja Fry' the idea that someone's wife is sleeping with other man and finding fun in this is not acceptable in Indian movies. But the way and the situation in this happens in the movie it makes people laugh loud. All those who are taking credit because it is copy cat movies, I am sure have not seen the other stupid movies that Bollywood has made. But off course if the story is copied from somewhere the crew should have mentioned that, but then as it is usual in Indian movies they have not done that. And this is something not forgivable. But again you may like to forget this while watching the movie again and again.
At least I would like to forget this fact, and as long as someone is making movies like this I don't care from where the original script is coming.
