What happens

Bhagam Bhag (transl. Mad rush) is a 2006 Indian Hindi-language comedy thriller film directed by Priyadarshan and written by Neeraj Vora. It was produced by Sunil Shetty and Dhilin Mehta. The film stars Akshay Kumar, Govinda and Paresh Rawal as the three leads alongside Lara Dutta, Rajpal Yadav, Jackie Shroff, Arbaaz Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, Razak Khan and Asrani. The film tells the story of a theatre group which travels to London for a show and need a heroine to complete their play, only to be entangled in a murder mystery they did not commit, as well as mistakenly becoming the enemies of a drug cartel and a street gang, in the process. The film adapted certain subplots of the Malayalam film Mannar Mathai Speaking which itself was based on the 1958 film Vertigo. The film was remade in Telugu as Brahmanandam Drama Company (2008). The film was released theatrically on 22 December 2006, during Christmas holidays and received mixed reviews from critics but was a commercial success and became the 9th highest-grossing film of the year. Over the years after release, it has become a cult classic due to its humour. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
