Disturbing yet enthralling
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Alright I have not seen 'Bheja Fry'. Now that's out of the way. 'Bheja Fry 2' is a disappointment. Sagar Ballary's movie is filled with inconsistencies, lack of direction, poor writing and editing and even forced humour in some parts. He should have focused less screen time on the sequences that take place before the businessman and income-tax officer get stranded. The most entertaining parts are the sequences between Kay Kay Menon and Vinay Pathak and this is primarily due to the two actors performances. Pathak has played similar characters in many films. Even in the more recent 'Chalo Dilli', his Manu Gupta has almost exactly the same personality as Bharat Bhushan. Menon is the one who stands out with his spontaneity (especially his reaction to Pathak's Bhushan's antics) and natural charm. They make the island sequence enjoyable up until the point of Amole Gupta's appearance. Gupta's character is out of place and his over-the-top acting only takes the film further down to the point of no redemption. Anyway, if it weren't for Menon and Pathak this would have been an entire waste.
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.
Considering how popular this movie was, I was surprised to see no review. So I decided to write one. Here it goes, Don't even think of comparing it to the first one, because this is way worse. The movie desperately tries to be funny, but ultimately falls flat. It is Bheja fry for the audience, because Bharat Bhushan ends up getting really irritating for K.K. Menon, but more for the audience. I don't blame Vinay Pathak. In fact, acting overall was superb and that is the only reason, the movie is watchable and humorous, because the jokes are simply bad. Ultimately, I would advise you to go for it only if you are a Vinay Pathak fan. The comedy is not worth it.
