Art/Literary - Cinema, Film, TV, Drama / Name of Bollywood move | | Hindi term or phrase: भगम भग | Greetings,
I think I've almost certainly got the Devanagari right (the English on my DVD is Bhagam Bhag but the Devanagari is not given); however, I'm not absolutely sure because the only film called भगम भग I've found was made in 2006 or something, and the film I have is a Bollywood classic in black and white starring Kishore Kumar, so it's well before 1980 or so, let alone 2006.
It is therefore possible, at least in theory, that one or more of the As may be long, for example.
Best wishes,
Simon |

It is both भगम भग (running helter skelter) and भागम-भाग (running with a speed) which also means भाग-दौड़ (hustle-bustle). Also, there are other resembling words like भागड़ (running of crowd under panic) or भागा-भाग (self-seeking competition). There is yet another resembling word भगदड़ (stampede).

One may not find भगम भग in a dictionary because it is colloquial term of भागम-भाग. |
