Bombay Boys

One rarely finds intelligent movies entertaining or entertaining movies intelligent.

But this movie is one. Loved the way it went.

Sad we couldn't see more from this gifted director.

Wow, just blown away. The satire is strong with this one. 😁😁😁 Perfectly encapsulates Mumbai and most of Bollywood at the time. Dark, witty and with brilliant performances all around. Shows the darker side of Mumbai and has a very real feel to it. The music is just amazing as well. Naseeruddin Shah steals the show, unsurprisingly and Tara Deshpande is just unreal. Rahul Bose was pretty good as well. And Naveen Andrews is just sooo out of place, and rightfully so... 😂🤣😂 Can just imagine how much they must have had making this one.

Unfortunately, had to watch the Hindi version as the unrated, original in English just isn't available anywhere, but still. : )

Waltzing Matunga, Mumbhai, Naseeruddin Shah, gangsters, hijras, socialites, NRIs. This movie has something for everyone, and it's all good. The single funniest Hindi/Indian movie you will see this decade.

The movie is about three NRIs who come to Bombay from the US, UK, and Australian. There's love, lust, violence, drama, singing, dancing... Everything you'd expect in a Bollywood pot-boiler, but this one is both enjoyable and intelligent.

This movie is based on the experience of three NRI's on their first visit to Bombay.

Krishna(Naveen Andrews seen in "The Buddha of Suburbia";"Wild West";"The English Patient")from New York drama school is looking for a subtantial role in Hollywood but is forced to act in Mastana's(Naseeruddin Shah)"bummer" film,Mumbai Banditos. Xerxes, a violinist from London, is in Bombay to "find himself" while Ricardo(Rahul Bose)is searching for his lost brother.

Bombay Boys is a film with a mature message. For once it's not on how western culture/NRI's are ruining India's traditions & values (a la "Pardes";"Aa Ab Laut Chale";"Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rahte Hai" et al)but for moving with times & simultaneously salvaging India's culture.

Gifford & Bose perform well.Naveen Andrews -"Kama Sutra";"My Own Country" & Tara Deshpande-"Bada Din"& "Is Raat Ki Subha Nahin" are spectacular. However the most outrageous yet credible performance is from Naseeruddin Shah.Khaizad Gustad's direction is great.The soundtrack is worthlistening too. Bombay Boys - a must see!!!

This movie is just fabulous and despite being ahead of its time was a box office success that spawned many more films in its genre. Nasiruddin Shah is magnificent and ably supported by a mouth watering Tara Deshpande whose performance is touching and funny at the same time. The three 'sexpats' and their emotional baggage makes for a terrific counter play to the complex, sad and sometimes dangerous cityscape of Mumbai. Naveen Andrews and Tara Deshpande's dance performance is just hysterical. The music is great- Waltzing Matunga is an all time favorite and Javed Jaffery's I am Mumbhai- referring to the Mumbai gangster era is great too.

please have more from Dolly, Mastana and Kaizad Gustad? A sequel?
