Boss

Boss is a watchable movie. Akshay Kumar saves the movie from being a crap fare. He Enacts the part with such charm and ease , it's hard to hate him.

Story : It's a Paper thin Plot. Less on logic More on Flying Emotion Sequences. Acting : Akshay Kumar lives up to the Title "Boss" , he an energetic performance. Ronit Roy is a Revelation but sadly he isn't given enough screen time. Shiv Pandit (Shaitan) is good but it's not the right movie for him. Aditi Rao Hydari is useless in the movie , hard to see an actress with this caliber to play an eye candy. Mithun Sir and Danny Sir are good in their parts.

Music: Hum Na Tode is a treat to watch. Rest of the Album is average . Songs Just start playing.

Direction : The direction is fine .

Overall: An average over-the-top action fare which will be enjoyed by Akshay Kumar Fans.

I expected a lot more . 4.5/10

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

the movie has lots of action scene which are excellent only and acting by all characters are amazing specially ronit roy and akshay kumar.when you see ronit roy you actually found that you hate ronit in this movie great job by him.when you see the movie you see lots of turning point and corners which are amazing. the movie show the loves for father which is very good point. when you see the when you never think for story in your mind it did not give time for it as the right song comes at right time which makes the movie more enjoyable, its the best dramatic action movie of the year. when i comes out i m only saying that it is the paisa vasool movie because it is,so never think about the movie go and watch it you love the movie.

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
