Bheja Fry Movie review

For a start Bheja in mumbai-speak means Brain,, and bheja fry (fried goats' brain) is a popular dish in many irani retaurants in mumbai... while that may sound gory to some, bheja fry has another meaning..it means a brain/ mind that is addled by confusion or harassment.

well the movie has no big names, no giga watts of music power, no foreign locales, no item numbers, no pithy persian laced dialogue and barely one song. but it entertains and how !!its humorous , to say the least. i wont give away the story, but i think its a stroke of genius to take an everyday situation and make it into an entertaining movie.

the pluses of the movie> great acting specially by vinay pathak and also by kapoor and soman> very good dialog... its the language you and i speak everyday... > great editing.. no superfluous scenes the only flaw i found was that ranvir shorey was wasted in the small part. this guy is also very good and could have had a bigger role.

and this is one movie where u cant have two separate experiences before and after the interval. it probably doesnt have AN INTERVAL.

my money is on vinay pathak and the director for winning several awards. dont miss it......

what i loved abt BF was that the narrative was structured like the good old tales in the panchatantra...despite the humor, it lends itself to much deep thought.
