I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

In my review of Anari, I had asserted that Bollywood's greatest showman, Raj Kapoor was most liked by the Indian audience in the role of the golden-hearted simpleton. Anari, Jaagte Raho, Teesri Kasam, Shri 420, Kanhaiya, Chhaliya, Deewaana; the list movies featuring him as a simpleton is quite long. And he conquered the hearts of the audience for good through them. Still these movies are considered as gold-plated, diamond-studded gems from the treasure of Bollywood cinema.Times have changed. Now neither such quality movies are made in Bollywood, nor we have any Raj Kapoor with us. However, a few years back, one actor arrived on the scene of Indian cinema who is not only a versatile actor but also a perfect fit for the role of a clean-hearted, innocent simpleton. And he is Vinay Pathak. Vinay Pathak has, in fact, re-written some acting lessons through his natural and heart-winning performances.In 2007, director Sagar Ballari presented a movie Bheja Fry featuring Vinay Pathak in the lead role of Mr. Bharat Bhushan, the straightforward (and fortunately for the income-tax payers, non-corrupt) income-tax inspector who's an amateur singer in his personal life and very fond of music. The story which mainly consisted of the witty and laugh-provoking interaction between Bharat Bhushan and the owner of a music company, Ranjeet Thadani (Rajat Kapoor) was a rip off from a french movie - Le Diner De Cons (1998) which means the dinner game. The amusing story which contained less laughters more ticklings, was applauded a lot with Vinay Pathak effortlessly winning the hearts of the audience.Inspired by the success and admiration received by Bheja Fry, Mr. Ballari decided to make its sequel and it has come before the audience in the form of this movie. In this movie, Mr. Ballari, for a change, has not lifted the story from anywhere and used an original script instead. The novelty is that the movie has been shot on a cruise in the first half and on a desolate island in the second. And the change is that except Vinay Pathak, i.e., Mr. Bharat Bhushan, the hero, none of the characters of the prequel has been repeated in the sequel.Actually, both the prequel and the sequel seem to be based on the concept of the collateral with two main characters of the story trying to outwit each other (or being helpful to each other). In the prequel, the clean-hearted income-tax inspector and music lover Bharat Bhushan was up against the oversmart music company owner - Ranjeet Thadani whereas in the sequel, he is crossing path with a cunning, tax-evading, womanizing and high-handed businessman - Ajeet Talwar (Kay Kay Menon). As a prize of winning the Aao Guess Karen contest hosted by a TV channel, he gets a paid holiday trip on a cruise and there he stumbles upon Ajeet Talwar who is already scared of the income-tax officials. In his bid to get rid of Bharat Bhushan by throwing him in the sea, he himself also falls into it alongwith Bharat Bhushan and both these gentlemen reach a desolated island to further interact and try to tickle the funny bone of the viewer. There comes a different track of Raghu Burman (Amol Gupte) too who listens to old songs on his antic radio and keeps on missing his separated sweetheart - Mahua. Bharat Bhushan stumbles upon his uncle (Virendra Saxena) too who has arrived the island to enjoy with a girl (being infidel to Bharat Bhushan's aunt). And the movie goes on aimlessly to fill its time-duration.I have read several reviews of this movie, trying to prove as if the prequel was a masterpiece and the sequel, in comparison to that, is a disaster which is untrue. Neither the prequel was great, nor the sequel is a disaster. Its not at all a disappointment for the die-hard fans of Vinay Pathak who has infused life into the story (if we deem that some story is actually there) of the movie with his innocent mannerisms and he has been ably supported by Kay Kay Menon who is definitely an actor par excellence. The first half is thoroughly gripping and despite the dragging, the second half is also enjoyable at least for a few reels. Had the director reduced the time duration of the movie to around 100 minutes only by removing unnecessary tracks and characters, that shortened movie would have been a better one. It is entertaining, all the same.Technical aspects, except editing, are OK. Background score is also OK. Songs are unnecessary and could have been done away with. It is more or less the show of the collaterals, i.e., Vinay Pathak and Kay Kay Menon who are just outstanding. The supporting actors have done well but there was nothing much to do for them. Characters like Rahul Singh, Rukhsaar and Aditi Govitrikar are no better than junior artists. And that again is the weakness of the director who failed in doing justice to many characters.Still I recommend this movie to not only the fans of Vinay Pathak but also to the viewers who fall into the the category of the audience of clean-comedies. This neat and clean and overall entertaining comedy is manifold better than the crap made by David Dhawan or Anees Bazmee in the name of comedy as well as many over-hyped movies of Priyadarshan.

BF2 is a real roller coaster of fun & humor. At one point you are at bottom at end of your patience thinking to skip the sequence and at another on the top with laughing you lungs out. The film drags a bit towards the end especially after Amol Gupte is introduced. Unlike the BF1 the film is not about Bharat Bhushan only. The plot has a lot more and a romantic angle too this time. BF1 was almost entirely relied on urban humor; BF2 with some crude dialog brings in required freshness that makes the sequels stand apart and not a ripoff. With punches like "Who is he? : He is Indian", this comedy is for serious humor enthusiasts.

After watching Bheja fry 1 I had high expectations for the sequel.Although it was a copy of a French movie,still it was a good one.However Bheja Fry 2 is a downer .Be prepared to douse your expectations in cold water.Firstly,its not exactly funny in the stricter sense of the term,may be once or twice it did bring a laugh or two.Otherwise its content may keep you mildly interested for a while.On the acting front Vinay Pathak is great as the bumbling,good hearted tax inspector.He is the only silver lining to this lackluster venture.May a good way to go and watch this movie would be to have very low expectations.You might as well enjoy it a little then.Otherwise don't waste your time and money.

A low key 'Bheja Fry' was a runaway hit in 2007 and a lesser known Vinay Pathak was catapulted to comic stardom. Despite the fact that it was lifted straight from a French film, it had the audience laughing their hearts out. Pathak again dons the role of the stupid-irritating- talkative-singer-tax-man Bharat Bhushan in 'Bheja Fry 2'.The story begins by introducing Ajit Talwar (Kay Kay Menon), a successful businessman albeit with fishy dealings and an eye for pretty women. Ace tax-man MT Shekharan (Suresh Menon) has Talwar in his cross-hairs and is all set to nab him. Meanwhile, Bharat Bhushan is on a TV show where the audience loves his antics. Bhushan's popularity wins him the prize money and a holiday on a cruise-liner.Events unfold and the plot eventually leads Talwar and Bhusan to a marooned island, shot in Bintan, Indonesia where the lost duo meets a madcap photographer Raghu Burman (Amol Gupte) who loves Bhushan's singing. Shekharan who's on a chase adds to the mêlée. A twist here and there leads to an ending that seems quite pointless.In the absence of an 'inspiration', it appeared as if the filmmakers were lost about how to take it forward. Vinay Pathak becomes Bharat Bhushan, but his humor is predictable. One can find parallels with his role as Manu Gupta in 'Chalo Dilli'. Suresh Menon isn't as effective as Ranveer Shorey was in the first. Kay Kay Menon was as good as Rajat Kapoor was but didn't have a supporting character like that of Milind Soman's. Minisha Lamba was only supposed to look pretty.The first half had the perfect setting: a corrupt and womanizing corporate honcho, a funding hungry channel owner, reality TV, some adultery, a couple of tax sleuths who are best buddies but with opposing attitudes towards work, and all on a cruise liner for a weekend. But, the second half lost itself on the island as did its lead its characters.Seen stand-alone, it is a sub-standard screenplay which didn't use good actors like Kay Kay Menon, Vinay Pathak or even Amol Gupte. On whether it justifies the genre it belongs to, 'Bheja Fry 2' is quite funny at times, although not as funny as the first one was. Still, the actors manage to hold the plot together despite its flaws. Nonetheless, it is better than the multitude of senseless Akshay Kumar comedies that only ride on stars and item numbers. To sum up, Bheja Fry 2 isn't well cooked, but it won't hurt your tummy! But a wee bit of finesse could've made it much better.
