Director’s Note
Bheja Fry is an extremely funny, sensitive film which takes a peek into the lives of a certain group of urban individuals, belonging to different classes & emotional backgrounds. If on one hand the story revolves around the endearing character of Bharat Bhushan & his unpredictable goof ups, on the other it?s a voyage of self realization for Ranjeet Thadani who discovers his love for his wife Sheetal through a journey of laughter pain & frustration. Mistaken identities, garbled messages & other assorted oddball occurrences make the film suitably madcap. If you have not watched Bheja Fry you have laughed less this year!
