Boom

I had earlier seen Bombay boys by Kaizad Gustad, hence this prompted me to rent out the video for Boom. The name itself is pretty unusual for a bollywood movie and the cast is the best that bollywood has to offer. Jackie as "Medium" again shows Jackie's potential as a versatile actor and Javed Jaffery as "Boom Shankar" is his usual eccentric self. No wonder Kaizad decided to name the movie over his character, Javed Jaffery lends the comical edge to the otherwise dark-sided movie. 3 gangsters bade, chote and medium rule the fashion industry helped by boom shankar. In a world where everyone is being terrorised by the 3 brothers 3 models are forced to work for them. Taking advantage of their beauty and charms, supplemented by their utter distrust of each other and aided by Boom shanker - these 3 models fool everyone including Boom shankar himself. Madhu Sapre along with the Kaif lend the bitchish touch the models character, showing why beauty is skindeep. As expected this movie was treated like a shocker by the indian cinema houses, because by any bollywood standard this movie is ground breaking. For the simple reason that it does not follow the nuances of a commercial bollywood film and follows on Quinton Tarantino's path i vote this movie as a must see for every hindi film critic.

Make no mistakes, its a honest attempt to make avoid run-of-the-mill movie. But somewhere the chord fails to strike in the failed attempt of fashion-meets-underworld.

Kaizad manages to create layers in the movie, however there end up like jigsaw puzzle. And it seems Kaizad was a strict teacher when it comes to following-the-book owing to which its apparent that the actors are mouthing the script akin to animated characters which immediately springs up being artificial.

Big B: I felt his white-hair was a complete bad fashion statement.

Jaggu Dada:: The stoned dialogue delivery was a bad idea.

Gulshan Grover:: Leaves no impact, other than his fantasising of being Bade Miyan.

Javed Jaffery:: His dialogues seemed OTT at a few places otherwise very competent.

Seema Biswas & Zeenat Aman:: No complaints.

The three lasses - well, you are excused.

The grand finale.... well, it was kind of coming, so no suspense there.

Well so finally we are here. After having waited for so long for this movie the only thing you get is frustration. The Movie lacks everything from direction to storyline to dialogues.

What did Mr. Kaizad thought when he started this project? how could you possibly impress the indian audience with the extremely obscene dialogues (which was supposed to be humorous)....

Uff! I cannot go on with the review... it's truly the worst movie of my life and those 2 hours the worst spent.

I had very high expectations when i went to see this movie. However i was utterly dissapointed. The movie is a no-go straight from frame 1. You always think that the film will pick-up, but it never happens. I had expected something fresh and different and a gripping story line, and ofcourse a few laughs...but believe me i never laughed once in the film. One of the major things i was dissapointed with was Amitabh's characterisation. He was really wasted.... i think he only ahd 4 to 5 scenes in the film....i dont know why he did this movie. All the models in the film dont know how to act....and the rest of the cast are ok. I think Javed Jaffry is the one who shows out. He was above average. Overall a very very bad movie....After Bombay Boys, Kaizad Gustad has made a very bad mistake making this big huge flop.... try harder next time....please!

I think Boom is a very weird film for Bollywood.'cause the Bollywood audience is not ready for a film like this.It contains too much vulgarity. If it had nudity the movie might be accepted 'cause it does have some pretty faces.But even the pretty faces,excellent performer like Amitabh, Jackie, Gulshan & Javaid, and great visuals could not save this Diamond bubble of a movie,which just burst with a BOOM.(Pun Intended).The ending although had a nice twist but was very stupid.An actor like Amitabh shouldn't have signed a movie like this.Jackie looked like he had been watching The Untouchables & Scarface while shooting for this movie.Zeenat Aman had no role to talk of.Bo Derak Was a joke.She was there for even less then 30 seconds.The models acting was like wooden,Xcept Madhu Sapre,who was just passable.So who should see movie ?.Well definitely not the family audiences.Only Die Hard fans of the cast members should see this movie, and even they would feel cheated as the big names have the smaller roles.
