Bhaagam Bhaag is an interesting movie - lots of slap stick comedy of the college festivals genre, a sudden, shocking twist in the story just before intermission and a deepening suspense in the second half, before ending on a laugh-till-the-guts-spill-out note.
Govinda and Akshaye Kumar work in a drama troupe, on a one month tour of London. Assigned the task of finding a heroine, they team up with Gullu the taxi driver(Rajpal yadav) before stumbling upon a silly gang supplying heroin "pudiyas", get mixed up in a murder, take panga with the London Metropolitan Police led by Jackie Shroff, rescue a damsel in distress (Lara Dutta), and get chased around town by a local goonda and his hencemen led by Shakti Kapoor. Every situation is hilarious until and after a suicidal Lara is "burnt to death", and her "husband" is murdered, before Lara starts to "reappear" all over London. Of course, all pieces fall into place before a hilarious end scene, a rip off from the famous fire engine scene from "It's a Mad Mad Mad World".
I enjoyed the "Pyaar ka Signaaal" rendition by Remo in the opening credits, with a scantily (and I must say, unfortunately, not very tastefully) dressed "chocolate" Tanushree Dutta as eye candy. "Ab toh akele mein, jiya jaaye na..." is another beautiful song, and Lara looks absolutely stunning while giving us a mini tour of London. And the icing on the cake - the centerpiece of attraction - a silver Ford Fiesta that absolutely hugged my attention whenever it burst onto the screen :)
Keep your thinking at home, and go enjoy the movie - you will come out happy and humming, and looking forward to some more bhaagam bhaag in your life!

Another great flick and quite unexpected too.. Akshaye has an extrememly good comic timing and loved the song.. "Ab toh akele jiyaa jaye na" - Shot beautifully and awesome chemistry between Akshaye and Lara.. While Govinda came across as a supporting actor in the second half, which is unusual, since in most comedy flicks, he's the source of all laughter, it seemed to fit! Just Fine! Great Movie for a Good Laugh..
