Champak Chaturvedi runs a theatrical troupe in India. He hires two men, Bunty - a graduate in Arts, and Babla- who cannot read nor write English. One has to play the role of the play's hero, while one the villain. Both men end up squabbling with each other, as both want the hero's part. Then Champak finds out that Bunty has molested the play's heroine, Anjali, and punishes him. The group gets a contract to stage 30 plays in Britain, however, on the day of the departure, Anjali opts out, leaving Champak no alternative but to travel without a heroine, but hoping to recruit one while in Britain. Upon arrival, Babla sets about to find a suitable heroine from the Indian population, but Bunty beats him to it and recruits a woman named Munni. Babla has his suitcase switched by another containing heroin, and as a result both men end being suspects by the local Police, whose Commissioner is an Indian, J.D. Mehra. Then both Munni and Bunty fall in love with each other. Then Munni has an accident with a vehicle and ends up in a hospital. When she regains her senses, she tells everyone that she is Nisha Chauhan, and is married to Vikram, who lives in Liverpool. Vikram arrives, thanks everyone, and takes his wife, who has suicidal tendencies, home. A few days later, Bunty receives a phone call from a frantic Nisha, who tells him to come over immediately. He, along with Champak and Babla, arrive there to find her body in flames. She is declared dead in hospital. Now the troupe is on the hunt for another heroine for their play - when the unexplainable happens - as Bunty claims that he saw Nisha. No one believes him, but then subsequently a terrified Champak and then a bewildered Babla both claim to have seen her. These sighting hurl the trio in a non-stop chaotic situation involving drug dealers, goons who want revenge, as well as the Police Commissioner himself, who also has a role to play in this comedy of errors and terrors.

Bhagam Bhag Reviews
Its Priyan movie dude and nothing short of a full time-pass entertainer.
Akshay Kumar:: Wherever humanly possible Akki delivers more than 100%. In layman terms, he overacts. If you ignore, with the assumption of signature style, then he is full-two.
Govinda:: Makes his presence felt and surprisingly get adequate screen time too, considering the fact he is pitted against Priyan favourites namely "editing notorious" Akki and "cat-o-nine lives" Paresh Rawal. And Sunil Shetty would have been a bad choice definitely.
Bunty and Babla? Any references to Bunti & Babli? Sorry just thinking aloud!
Lara Dutta:: Doesn't leave any impact, hence its safe to say that she was miscast. And her suicidal tendencies part was not fleshed out adequately. In fact Tanushree Dutta in the cameo was far more convincing.
Paresh Rawal:: If you don't expect a reprise of Hera Pheri, he is spot on in its own right. Any deficiencies... blame the writing department.
Jackie Shroff:: Its good to see a Priyan's old timer this time around and being London MetPolice Chief is nothing short of creative liberties.
Other regulars just chip in with special mention to Rajpal Yadav (spot on!), Sharat Saxena, Manoj Joshi (howls again!) and Asrani.
Sorry I forgot about you Arbaaz.
Bhagam Bhaag is a remake of Malayalam movie which was sequel to Hera Pheri. As usual Priyan and his team customised the recipe to suit the palette. Needless to say, moving the story-base to London, capturing the English summer and yet not losing sight of the plot has translated into a decent show. And for those who are crying foul, never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal... then.
