Desi Boyz

Stripping for Beginners with Akshay Kumar and John Abraham

A year before "Magic Mike", Bollywood let two of its biggest male stars loose on the enthusiastic world of women. ;-) In this RomCom by Rohit Dhawan we get to know two Indian expats in London who are struggling with the financial crisis after 2008.

Jerry (Akshay Kumar, *1967) moves from job to job and also lovingly looks after his nephew, who the youth welfare office would like to place elsewhere. Nick (John Abraham, *1972) has a job in a suit, but soon finds himself on the streets as a result of the banking crisis and can't marry his girlfriend Radhika (Deepika Padukone, *1986) due to lack of money.

So what can two well-built Indian boys ("DesiBoyz"!) do in such a tricky situation? Sex sells, of course! Under the guidance of Mr. Khalnayak (Sanjay Dutt), the two muscle-bound charm studs become the stars of his escort service as "Rocco and Hunter". This goes well for a while until the rude awakening (i.e. Being discovered) comes. It's a good thing that Jerry meets the beautiful Tanya (Chitrangada Singh) while continuing his studies, and Nick finds an unexpected comrade in her father (very funny: Anupan Kher) when he tries to win Radhika back. All's well that ends well. Mr. Khalnayak can then announce the relocation of his company to Mumbai...

Well, nothing special on the stripper front! Despite a smash hit as the title song ("Make Some Noise for the DesiBoyz"), the film only performed below average in the box office (a meager 2.35 million USD worldwide). There just wasn't enough drama to make the entry into the sex trade of two actually very well-behaved Indian boys understandable.

"The Full Monty" had a lot more drive. ;-)

Film's story is totally boring ..But humour at some places makes film time pass.. overall it's one time watch..

Desi boyz is a light "comedy romance drama" film with urban touch. Nearly 10 years but film still looks fresh.

As a debut movie of Rohit Dhawan it was a decent attempt. Movie never bores and it is lavishly shot. Comedy and romance are handled well. There are some places where direction is lacking in dramatic scenes but mostly the story is handled well.

Acting : Akshay gets a tailor made role as Jerry aka Rocco. He looks cool. Nice one liners in his kitty. Superb comedy by him. John as Nick aka Hunter looked dashing. He looked natural in romance. Deepika looks beautiful and acted well. Chitrangada looks stunning and played her role well. Anupam Kher was nice in his typical comic role. Sanjay Dutt in his extended cameo did pretty good job. Omi Vaidya is given a cartoonish role still he is funny because of his accent. Mohnish Behl had a small role nothing much to do. Virej Dasani as Veer was cute in his role.

Best part of the film were it's songs. A chartbuster album. What an album it was!!

Superb music by Pritam. Personal favourite is Allah Maaf Kare by Sonu Nigam.

Chemistry between the 2 lead pairs is amazing. Songs lifted the mood of this movie.

Camerawork, locations and costumes were superb.

It had some flaws. The humour became slapstick at some places which it didn't fit well and sometimes it fell flat too. Due to over urbanish treatment at some places, sometimes characters looked fake and not grounded according to the situation. The male escort plot was explored less which was expected from the title.

Overall it's an entertaining film with a simple story. Still wondering why was it was rated with 'A' certificate.

it is a nice movie.Its has laughters,good songs,good storyline and a different concept.The story is bit predictable.Comedy from starting to the end.sanjay dutt's and akshay's acting was awesome.Anupam kher is good too. The story is different. But who wants a story in a comedy movie.

John and akshay's Basically movie is made for you to enjoy during the whole time. chemistry is too good.Akshay after a long time did good acting. the movie is about two best friends,who makes some mistakes,in the end they get themselves corrected.

Characters like omi vaidya,anupam kher,sanjay dutt added more interest to the movie.Didn't expected so much fun from the movie.

So,movie is definitely worth watching or i'll say its a must go for comedy lovers
