Bheja Fry 2

Bheja did get fried this time too but the humourous touch which the prequel had was lacking. The primary character was the same and so were his ways to irritate everyone around him with his unbearable singing and forced entrance into the personal discussions and lives but Vinay Pathak couldn't carry the charisma of the character which he so wonderfully played earlier. Right from his weird laugh to dialogue delivery were kind of not natural and the flow which was so visible in the prequel was missing.

He did have the support of another mischievious and great comic Suresh Menon but his role was kind of repressed as the whole focus was on Bharat Bhushan, the man who still wishes to launch an album of his own and considers all the singing greats as his idol. This time he does wins a TV show, drools over Ranjini (Minisha Lamba), and is living in his own world until someone knocks on his brains to tel him the true scenario. He is a man who would charm people sooner or later even with all his weirdness and is seen bugging one and all with his not so developed singing skills.

Kay Kay Menon justified his role well but like everybody else he too didn't have much to do apart from displaying his increasing displeasure over Bharat Bhushan whom he consideres a freak but plots his murder when he comes to know that Bhushan is an income tax officer. The plan turns against him and both are stranded on an uninhabited island. Until this point movie was still quite watchable but once they start their search for an escape route from this island, then begins a series of unwanted scenes lengthening the movie a bit too much.

The inclusion of Bhushan's chacha fooling around with a foreigner on the deserted island out of nowhere made no sense at all. Neither the monkey scene was necessary by any means. Amol Gupte was another forced character who actually was present just to increase the movie length. Finally all of them are rescued and Kay kay all of a sudden realises how good a man Bhushan is and apologizes to him for his doings. Oh and did I mention Minisha Lamba somewhere, ohh yes I did and I feel that's more than enough to be mentioned about her.

The direction was wayward and was clearly riding on its prequel. It was like, so we have a low budget success with this character named Bhushan. Lets go for it again, let him loose with whatever script we can manage and let the audience decide. I hope they must've recieved the audiences reply by now. There was one good thing about it too that apart from "Vinay Pathak's" intolerable singing there was no other song which would've made it another forceful inclusion.

I wouldn't advise making your purse lighter for this one. Wait for a month and you may watch it on the small screen itself.

My Verdict: 3.5/10
