Buddha Mar Gaya Movie Review

Money corrupts and a humongous amount of money corrupts humongously. That’s the take off point for “Buddha Mar Gaya,” a black comedy about dead bodies, mucho moolah and funerals. “Buddha Mar Gaya” takes you into a world littered with dead bodies, body parts, unending greed and corruption, funerals, ice cubes and a femme fatale.

Buddha Mar Gaya directed by Rahul Rawail (Jo Bole So Nihaal) stars the comedy king Paresh Rawal along with veteran actors like Om Puri and Anupam Kher. We also have the item girl Rakhi Sawant and the extremely talented Ranvir Shorey (Pyaar Ke Side Effects, Bheja Fry). The tagline of Buddha Mar Gaya reads “You will die laughing”.. Does it actually evoke laughters? Well, the story first..

The film has an interesting plot of a dead man being kept away from being cremated due to some vested interests of his near and dear ones. This leads to innumerous hilarious situations as the dead man [played by Anupam Kher] is projected as someone who is alive and kicking. The partners in crime? Om Puri, Rakhi Sawant, Ranvir Shorey, Mukesh Tiwari and Murli Sharma.

While you step into the movie hall, your expectations are high. Obviously, thanks to the extremely talented starcast. But what you witness as the reels unfold is a C grade movie which is simply terrible to bear. The runtime is 1 hour and 40 mins but it actually seems like a boring 4 hour movie. Yes, its that horrible.

Overall, Buddha Mar Gaya is a weak product. You will die laughing? Hell no, You will die watching this…
