I watched this 1998 film called La Diner de cons (the dinner game) recommended by my French friends as they wanted me to appreciate quintessentially French humour, which is representative of their contemporary culture. And this was two weeks after I had watched Bheja fry which I enjoyed so much. I was apalled at how the script of bheja fry was a total rip-off from La Diner de cons. Even some of the dialogues were a direct translation from French. And this is NOT the first time that I´m being apalled. I´m now forced to change my view of the contemporary indie films being creative; somewhere down the line, it must be a rip-off from some foreign film nobody´s heard of. Atleast it would´ve been mature enough for the bheja fry team to “acknowledge” the source or the inspiration of the story. We don´t want to be branded as a bunch of educated thugs, do we?

[...] Saakshi Juneja, To Each Its Own Rating: Thumbs up …To me the two aspects in which Bheja Fry excels with flying colors are its wittily penned dialogues and its main protagonist, Bharat Bhushan… See full review [...]

Hello,
I just would like to add one more thing about this movie (with all due respect) that its’ a word to word remake of a french movie – “Le DÃ®ner de cons” released in 1998(The Dinner of Idiots, which was a play in the beginning and later taken as a movie) The script has been indianized here and there eg, Sarika (Sheetal) is a singer ,whereas in original version,she’s a writer and so on.
So, please give the due credit to this french movie maker(- Francis Weber and his team) also.
And I accept that the indian team also has done justice to the movie by all means. Bravo !!

I had seen the dinner game last spring when a colleague had passed it on to me and It took me just 2 mins to realize that bheja fry was a flick of “the dinner game”. What is reliving about this is that it is good to know that the Desi directors are now looking at really interesting movies to rip off than some straight money maker hits.

This movie is a complete rip off of a French movie called the Dinner Game…
I saw the movie (Dinner Game that is…) the other night and was quite shocked to see that Bheja Fry is a scene by scene copy.
Personally, I am okay with Bheja Fry being a remake…provided due credit is given to the original (which by the way needs to be applauded for it’s fantastic script). Passing of a remake (however good it may be) as an original is plagiarism, pure and simple. Boo Mr. Sagar Balary…you are an unoriginal fool and the real ‘idiot’ of this Dinner Game!

An income tax officer. And an Idiot.. That would be the most hilarious part of the movie.

Looks like Sagar Ballary.The plot of the movie is very very similar to The Dinner Game,a french movie.
