Boss

The sad news is that every Bollywood cinema like Besharam, Phata Poster Nikla Hero, Policegiri are following the trend of 80's potboilers which comprised of action, melodrama , routine song and dance. The good news is Boos , though falls into same genre, is a passable entertainer with raw-punching dialogues, commendable action scene and of course Akshaye Kumar.

Boss ( Akshaye Kumar) is a fearless and heart-of-gold goonda who gets the contract to bump off a college going innocent chap Shiv( Shiv Pandit) in love with a gruesome police-office's sister. Coincidently, Shiv turns out to be younger brother of Boss who was estranged from him when his father ( Mithun Chakrborty) disowned him as a child.

From terrible attempt BLUE , Anthony D'Souza comes back with a popcorn masala entertainment which had nothing new to offer in terms of direction and screenplay yet can be enjoyable in parts. These kind of cinemas generally does not have moral story and sense but they do have section of audience who loves to whistle to introduction scene of their hero, clap to the item songs and shout as their hero punches the villain. Similarly, Boss has everything going in its favor. The humongous entry by Akshay Kumar arriving with ten trucks, the brilliant fight sequence captured in slow motion ( though sometimes larger-than- life),the father-son melodrama summarizes Boss, few comic relief by Akshay Kumar and good songs with "Party All Night" being pick of the lot. Boss completely belongs to Akshay Kumar and the actor does not leave any stone unturned. He gives his best and proves his mettle with good performance. Ronit Roy is superb as rude and heartless cop. Danny and Mithun are just fine.

Overall, Boss is a complete masala package with Akshay Kumar ruling the roost. Good 3/5

It's a good masala movie after a long time. basically, the movie is all about the relationship of father and son. After a long time this relationship is focused. It's overall paisa vasool movie. if you like this type of masala entertainment, you will enjoy a lot.songs, performance of the cast,dialogues,comedy and action are plus point of this movie.impressive performance by Ronit Roy. some innovative scenes like jogging truck and others are very good.

Direction: Good. Music : Good. Story & screenplay: avg. Performance: Ronit - Roy best. Akshay - as usual good. Mithun, Denny - good. Shiv, Aditi - avg.

The above summary is quoted from the review of Karan Anshuman of Mumbai Mirror because it makes sense...

Pokkiri Raja was funny as heck, maybe because the cast portrayal was ridiculously humorous. On the Bolly-hand, BOSS IS ludicrous where nothing is logical or scientific, but for the sake of entertaining, it DOES deliver content.

Also, the songs are catchy & full of beats. Just because the plot is too shabby for the even grotesque story idea, There is no need to blabber about how bad your expectations were thwarted, is there? We aren't expecting potential cinema from the makers either. Talking about the goodness, Ronit Roy's villainy demeanor is terrific and after his Udaan & Ugly, I am sure he is a busy man. I enjoyed watching him.

Akshay Kumar, for the first time, looked old on-screen. But his stunts were really good, not to mention how gravity-defying they were (Maybe because Cuaron's Gravity was playing in the next screen). Danny Denzongpa is good as well. And well, the women in here are puppets, no doubt.

Cinematography & editing is fine, direction is average. Humor has been worked out, but in an attempt to induce more, the writers lost the road. Some jokes are just too irritating, thereby making dramatic scenes into a mockery.

BOTTOM LINE: Although not much in this makes sense, it was a cool- afternoon watch. Recommended for people who have know what they have in store. 5.5/10. It doesn't bore.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Harmless fun. Thankfully the fun is not numbed down by being all too brainless - just the sporadic instance here and there, mostly interspersed within the action scenes. Akshay Kumar enjoys himself in a role he can sleep through and he succeeds in involving the audience in his revelry. We even get to see him doing some real action and stunts after a long time.

Shiv Pandit just passes muster, while Aditi Rao Hydari literally has nothing to do. Sadly Mithun forgot his acting chops at home, and Danny's acting chops are criminally underutilized. But above all, the real scene stealer from the very first frame he enters till the last is Ronit Roy, who essays his first complete negative role with sublime malevolence.

Boss Review: movie started with Amitabh voice which was really incredible and Denny part too. then one by one entry of all star cast,every entry part is too good specially Joney & Ronit but bit disappoint with late entry of Akhay Kumar but so far best entry. And style of BOSS is best part in movie. when all songs came one by one your leg and head start shaking with it. then unwanted part of flashback is not suitable at that stage of the movie. till interval it's avg. after that the story took actually good move. in whole movie two characters BOSS & AYUSHMAN THAKUR are really increase the value of your 2 hours. Akshay with his purely kind hearted,lovable,fun to watch Gangster and Ronit Roy with his not really lovable actually not at all, dare to watch Acp Bollywood mas-ala movie climax and end as we all know fighting scene and family drama hero-villain-hero-villain but hero smashed...!

Best parts : Akshay Kumar and Ronit Roy acting,funny parts,cinematography,action scenes,.dialogs and how to forget songs this parts makes BOSS at it title

Bad parts : romance of shiv,some melodrama,flash back part at unwanted stage and how to forget some flu-shy scene this parts make you to feel-flush all this part from the movie.

LAST WORDS : this movie manage is title at some points it is not fully penny washable movie but some parts and scenes really do! this movie is cup of tea for those who likes real face of Bollywood i mean mas-ala movie just for fun and 2-3 hours enjoyment from your hectic life!! And you know very well which is your cup of tea & which is not...? choice is yours! enjoy!!
