Bhagam Bhag (2006)

It is certainly not the best of Priyadarshan.But Bhagam Bhaag still makes for an entertaining watch.The film’s crazy plot, filled with comic chaos and confusion, is its main USP.On top of it, Akshay Kumar shows his impeccable flair for comedy.The basic formula of ‘Bhagam Bhag’ is the same as any other Priyadarshan movie.The story’s central characters try to outsmart each other, but wind up in a situation where they are hunted by a number of other over-the-top characters.There are mistaken identities, a murder, an underhand plot, chaos and commotion.

Cast: Akshay Kumar, Govinda, Jackie Shroff, Lara Dutta

Apna Sapna Money Money (2006)

Here comes yet another slapstick comedy filled with madcap characters in search of hidden diamonds. Sangeeth Sivan’s movie Apna Sapna Money Money is a corny, crowded entertainer that banks majorly on crass and crude humour.Wit is not something you should expect from a movie like ‘Money Money’. The comedy in the movie is juvenile and at times even childish. Yet there are some sequences that turn out to be immensely entertaining. These sequences mostly come from Ritesh Deshmukh , the young star with a very natural flair for comedy.

Cast: Ritesh Deshmukh, Shreyas Talpade, Celina Jaitley

Chopra and directed by Aleem Mansoor.It mainly is a film about a tawaif or a courtesan.This movie is among Bollywood’s underrated films which won Filmfare awards in 1986 for Best Dialogue Writer Dr. Rahi Masoom Reza and Best Story Writer Aleem Masroor.Rishi Kapoor delivers a good performance, Poonam is alright, kader Khan is good in a brief role, but Rati stole the show.I rate this film highly as it has a little comedy, Family drama, emotions and romance.

Karthik Calling Karthik (2010) *MQ*

null
Mouse sweet mouse. He stumbles, bumbles, mumbles for as many as four years at a swankyish office. A cross between Rocket Singh and Woody Allen, he writes up a thousand-plus emails but doesn’t send them to the gorgeous woman in that see-through cabin who seems to be doing damn-all.Evidently, this guy’s not headed for any hall of fame or ill-fame. He’s just a crashing bore.

Cast: Farhan Akhtar, Deepika Padukone

Ishqiya is a zany little black comedy that may be completely desi in its idiom, its lingo, its landscape.Yet, when it comes to drama, it is totally Hollywood.Debutant director Abhishek Chaubey tells his story with a panache that falters only in the end.

Cast: Naseeruddin Shah, Vidya Balan, Arshad Warsi
