Rajat Kapoor was absolutely missed, where was he?! Add to that, the script writers make a not very delicious bheja fry! Their first attempt was too good to digest this perhaps!
Anyone who sees his acting gets impressed. He has an alluring smile and does total justice to any character given to him. That is Kay Kay Menon. Now watching Kay Kay not in absolute charge of his character comes in as a surprising shock.
For once, let’s not talk of the acting department. Majorly, everybody manages a fair meal! Where the problem lay is what is called the backbone of a film - the script. Having every opportunity to conclude the movie giving a right message, the writers and the director fail to do just that. Had not Bheja Fry spectacularly done that?
The manner, in which the second half of the film proceeds, creates an overall imbalance. Ajit Talwar(KK Menon) and Bharat Bhushan(Vinay Pathak) seem to be deliberately put up together. And all of a sudden, every other character in the film is rendered unimportant and prematurely abandoned. In comes Amol Gupte out of nowhere making the movie even more asymmetrical in its appeal! Also, Ajit Talwar seems to have given up his ‘battle’ against Bhushan long before the act is actually over.
However something that clicked pretty well was the comedy of the film. Watch Vinay Pathak get into the Bharat Bhushan mode again or watch KK imitate Bhushan’s bizarre laugh “ha-ha’, they do manage to add the right masala.
Though Kay Kay plays well the lusty and shrewd businessman, Talwar’s heart does not seem to be in the right place. Vinay Pathak’s Bhushan act deserves applause. Minnisha Lamba, Amol Gupte, Suresh Menon and the others play their trivial parts justice-ably.
The part of island where the duo is stuck up together is not convincingly shown for the locations seem to be frivolously changing as per the demand of the script. Kay Kay seems over shadowed by Pathak which takes away the very essence of the story.
All in all, Bheja Fry 2 is a no big deal and sheer disappointment, all thanks to its distasteful screenplay!
RATING- 2 stars
