"Om Puri, Mukesh and I shot separately along with many other actors. Gulshan confirms that he shot separately with other actors but expressed ignorance on the reason.Mallika was supposed to shoot alone with the rest of the actors joining her at the end of the song." Ganesh confirms that he shot separately with Mallika but denies that she demanded it.The source adds, "That was one shot Mallika agreed to do with them and that was done on a later date." However, there was a dance step which Mallika had to do with Aftab Shivdasani and Priyanka Kothari.The other actors were shot separately and then added together with the item number." A unit member says, "This must be historical. As it turns out, Acharya had been pressurised to only choreograph Mallika on a separate day.The film's director, Chandrakant Singh took over and directed the song." The choreographer Ganesh Acharya shook hands with us but when we went to get our make-up done, he had vamoosed. We had gone for the shoot thinking we'd be filming together. Notes one of the actors, "It was shocking.This was the initial plan, but Mallika apparently, wanted to do the item number on her own, without these actors around.Most wouldn't be dancing, but would simply be watching Madame M dance. Veteran actors like Gulshan Grover, Om Puri and others like Rajpal Yadav, Mukesh Tiwari and Johnny Lever were to be a part of the song.

Apparently for her item number in Bin Bulaye Baraati, she refused to shoot with other actors.

Since it’s Lever we’re talking about, it goes without saying that there are various low-brow facial contortions involved here. Aftab Shivdasani tries hard to look dignified and hero-like in the midst of the mayhem, even when he becomes the object of alternate sexual lust courtesy Johnny Lever.
HINDI MOVIE BIN BULAYE BARAATI CAST CRACK
In spite of myself, I did crack up during several scenes involving Sanjay Mishra and Vijay Raaz. Still, with less noise, less clichés, a sense of direction and some clearing up of the clutter, this film could have actually been a worthwhile slapstick comedy. Along the way they chance upon a cache of jewels belonging to a dreaded dacoit (Gulshan Grover).įor me, the clue that there’s something wrong with this film came very early on when several characters were shown chasing an obviously computer-generated rat through the commissioner’s house. Shreya elopes with her boyfriend AD (Aftab Shivdasani). But no sir, he pretty much disappears from the scene when the film shifts to the love story of his niece Shreya, played by Ram Gopal Varma’s one-time protégé Nisha a.k.a Priyanka Kothari.

At this point, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Pralay is the leading man. A substantial portion at the start of BBB is devoted to Pralay, his boss and the boss’ wife (Rati Agnihotri) who speaks to Pralay in an inexplicably fussy, baby-like tone, thus leading her husband to believe that there’s an affair brewing. Puri plays a naïve policeman called Pralay Pratap Singh who gets himself and the police commissioner into endless trouble. Bin Bulaye Baraati is an over-the-top farce featuring multiple actors and a noisily told story. This is the kind of film Om Puri has been stuck doing for years and years in Bollywood, when there’s so much more this man can offer Indian cinema.
