भेजा Fry

भेजा Fry

There are lot of times when you go for a movie just to vie away your time. Deciding to watch Bheja Fry was one of those. Rediff review was for this movie, the only reason I wanted to watch it was that I like movies without the obligatory song and dance sequences.

The movie is a riot. One of the better comedies made in Indian cinema for a long long time. No slapstick, no innuendos, no nothing - pure comedic talent. I'd be disappointed if Vinay Pathak does not win an award for his role. His portrayal of an easily excitable singing idiot is perfect. He delivers every line, every scene with the exact timing and honesty as only a few can. This guy along with Ranvir Shorey are a class apart. Lesser comedians (nah, not actors) like Rajpal Yadav and Johnny lever look like Ramlila clowns compared.

The movie is about an upper class music producer (Rajat Kapoor) and an idiot (Vinay Pathak) who he brings along for a dinner game where the guy who brings the most idiotic talent wins.

Rajat Kapoor underplays his character pretty well. Vinay slips into the character very comfortable and is adorable and irritating at the same time.


Must watch. One movie I'll rewatch again (already did). A cult movie waiting to happen.


p.s. I don't give a damn if it is remake of some obscure French movie, I don't get the French anyways.
