	==Plot==		==Plot==
	Laxmikant Kabadiya ~~([[Anupam Kher]])~~ is one of India's richest industrialists, a [[self-made man]] who's risen from selling scrap to become a construction magnate. His conglomerate is on the verge of a 5000 crore ($1 billion) IPO that should make them one of the largest companies in the country. LK's family - his spinster twin sister ~~Prerna (Mahabanoo Mody-Kotwal)~~, his two sons Ranjeet and Sameer ~~([[Mukesh Tiwari]])~~, their wives Shruti and Anju (Mona Ambegaonkar) respectively and Ranjeet's daughters Sanjana and Namrata, and Sameer's son, Pawan, can't stop salivating at the thought of all that money.

His conglomerate is on the verge of a 5000 crore ($1 billion) IPO that should make them one of the largest companies in the country.

	Unfortunately for all of them fate displays a wicked sense of humour. On the night before the IPO opens, LK dies while copulating with a starlet Kim ~~([[Rakhi Sawant]])~~, who's aspiring to become the heroine of a film that LK plans to produce. The family is distraught and horrified. Not because a loved one has died but because now no one will buy their shares. So, on the advice of their family guru - Vidyut Baba ~~([[Om Puri]])~~, the family decides to hide the death of LK for a period of two days till the shares are all sold out. Little do they realize the crazy series of events that will follow on account of this duplicity.		Unfortunately for all of them fate displays a wicked sense of humour.

	After all, hiding the death of a man as famous as LK is a Herculean task. To make matters worse, every time they're ready to announce LK's death, fate intervenes forcing them to keep his death hidden for another couple of days. This results in them having to announce the death of a fictitious friend or relative of LK and stage fake funerals. Which of course means generating dead bodies and, worse, getting the dead LK to make appearances at these funerals.		After all, hiding the death of a man as famous as LK is a Herculean task.

			== Reception==
			[[Khalid Mohamed]] of ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' gave it 1.5 stars and described it as a "hyper-VULGAR comedy."<ref>{{cite news \|last1=Mohamed \|first1=Khalid \|author1-link=Khalid Mohamed \|title=Review: Buddha Mar Gaya \|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/movie-reviews/review-buddha-mar-gaya/story-kJRAddvHts1Np2AV1GVvBI.html \|access-date=7 January 2022 \|work=[[Hindustan Times]] \|date=17 August 2007 \|archive-date=7 January 2022 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220107100631/https://www.hindustantimes.com/movie-reviews/review-buddha-mar-gaya/story-kJRAddvHts1Np2AV1GVvBI.html \|url-status=live }}</ref> Syed Firdaus Ashraf of Rediff.com gave the film 1 star out 5, writing, ″Director Rawail's fantasies are appalling; he shows a rocket taking off or injections dripping whenever Rakhi is in bed. The film's tag line, 'You will die laughing' should have been 'You will die crying'. It's about time Rawail, who once made decent films like Betaab, Arjun and Dacait, retires from direction.″<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/2007/aug/17buddha.htm\|title=Buddha Mar Gaya: You'll die crying\|website=[[Rediff.com]]\|access-date=3 June 2024\|archive-date=3 June 2024\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240603072849/https://www.rediff.com/movies/2007/aug/17buddha.htm\|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Shubhra Gupta]] of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' wrote, ″The trouble with Rahul Rawail's movie is not its premise: that old men can also have a good time in bed, even though most of us, like good hypocritical Indians, would be horrified at admitting it. It's in the execution, which falls uneasily between crass and classy: the audience doesn't quite know whether to laugh or to cringe.

			[[Taran Adarsh]] of [[Bollywood Hungama]] gave it three stars out of five and concluded that it "has terrific title-value, abundant shock-value and strong entertainment-value as factors going in its favor".<ref>{{cite web \|last1=Adarsh \|first1=Taran \|author1-link=Taran Adarsh \|title=Buddha Mar Gaya Review \|url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/buddha-mar-gaya/critic-review/buddha-mar-gaya-movie-review/ \|website=[[Bollywood Hungama]] \|access-date=7 January 2022 \|date=17 August 2007 \|archive-date=7 January 2022 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220107100922/https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/buddha-mar-gaya/critic-review/buddha-mar-gaya-movie-review/ \|url-status=live }}</ref>
