Director : Sagar Bellary
A rich man gets his kicks from inviting and making fun of talentless singers but this time the tables are turned with hilarious results.
A small film big on laughs, "Bheja Fry" does what most big budget comedies are unable to do nowdays -- inspire genuine laughter. (The awful Bhagam Bhag comes to mind).
The wholecast is competent in their mostly well written roles, but the film belongs to Vinay Pathak. As a bathroom singer with illusions of granduer and a penchant for messing things up coupled with a desire to help everyone, he is a hoot.
The only disappointment comes from Ranvir Shorey whose character comes across more as a caricature than a real one. But that does not take away form the fun you are going to have watching it.
However, the film cannot be called wholly original. It has infact, been heavily inspired from the French film, "The Dinner Game". For this I am taking away one star.
Plus Points: Very funny, good characterisation and Pathak is great!
Minus Points: Too 'sitcomish'and theatrical to completely work asa feature film. Primise and some jokes copied from French film "The Dinner Game".
