Bhagam Bhag (Translated: Running Around) is a 2006 Bollywood comedy–mystery film, starring Govinda, Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. It is the first time the two are in a film together. The movie also stars Lara Dutta, Jackie Shroff and Arbaaz Khan. It is directed by Priyadarshan. Shooting took place in Oxford, United Kingdom in July–August 2006, filming at several University of Oxford landmarks. It released on 22 December 2006. The story borrows certain sub-plots from Siddique-Lal's 1995 Malayalam film Mannar Mathai Speaking and some portions from Sathyan Anthikkad's Nadodikkattu as well as 1958 Hollywood classic Vertigo and was remade in Telugu as Brahmanandam Drama Company in 2008. The plot elements were also used in the 2008 Tamil movie Sadhu Miranda. The climax plot-twist is borrowed from that of Marathi film Bindhaast which was already remade by Priyadarshan in Tamil as Snegithiye.

Champak Chaturvedi (Paresh Rawal) the director of a theatre group, is offered a chance to perform a show in London. Babla (Govinda) and Bunty (Akshay Kumar) are two derps and flirts in his group, always fighting with each other to get the role of the hero. Their behaviour causes the actress (Tanushree Dutta) to run away. This really upsets the organizer, who offered the chance mainly because of the heroine. After reaching London, Champak tells the duo that whoever gets a new actress will get to become hero. Then Babla asks Gullu (Rajpal Yadav), a local driver where he can find a heroine. Gullu misinterprets this as prostitute and directs him to a park.
