'Bhagam Bhaag' releases a fortnight from now but the film is already at the top of the list of moviegoers for the month of December.
An excellent promotional campaign by the makers have ensured that the film is accepted wholeheartedly in the time of celebration. Also, with a bumper response being a given for the film, it should also mark a hat trick of successes for director Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar.
The two came together first in 'Hera Pheri' and though the film was a good success in Mumbai while being decent in rest of the country, it opened avenues for both Priyan and Akshay. While Priyan made one comic hit after another over the years, Akshay was hailed as an actor with a superb comic timing and aided the change of image he was aspiring for.
Later, the two were seen together in 'Garam Masala' last year and the film brushed aside the Diwali competition to emerge as a big hit while displacing both 'Kyun Ki' and 'Shaadi No. 1'.
Now 'Bhagam Bhaag' is the sole release on December 22nd and it should be time to pop the champagne once again for the director-actor duo. And yes, there is a certain Govinda along with a regular Paresh Rawal for company too!
