A solid and menacing performance by Randeep Hooda playing Jeet, and he looks good doing it. Beeba boys has genuine comedic moments that create an interesting juxtaposition with the dark business the characters are involved in; ie. A mafia boss that lives with his parents, complete with air hockey table in the basement. Deepa tries something new and doesn't glorify the violence which is a fine line when it comes to gangster movies. Some great cinematography and shot on location in Vancouver. Paul Gross was a welcome cameo appearance as was David Suzuki. The style the characters exhibit is really exceptional as well, hats off to the costume designers.
Going into the theatre, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, and in the end I absolutely loved the movie!! I've heard many criticisms at the fact it glamorizes gangs etc. But in an interview Mehta states that "crime doesn't" pay, and the movie demonstrates this. She addresses the themes of immigration, and differences within generations, and a sense of belonging.
Overall the movie was entertaining, and kept you engaged. There are moments of humour, but mostly, it kept you thinking and wondering "ah what's going to happen!". I really recommend that you see it, you'll definitely enjoy it :) PLUS you'll get to see 103 minutes of Ali Momen :) Something you could never get bored of :P

It's a film worth watching! Well shot, well acted and an intense wild ride! It delivers on all fronts with dark humour, killer fashion statements and raw emotion. It sheds a light on a topic that many people had no idea about. It's a journey about identity, family and brotherhood.
Beeba boys goes against the grain of Canadian films and give you an adrenaline filled journey through this indo-Canadian sub culture that exists predominantly in Vancouver.
Plus how often do you get to see South Asians kick ass in a main stream film. So thank you Deepa and the entire cast for a cinematic treat. Soon I hope that the lines between all races will be completely blurred and there will be films with people of all races not just playing stereotypes but any character imaginable. I think this film is a huge step in the right direction.

Great Movie!!
This movie kept showing up on my Facebook feed so today i decided to go to the theatre and watch it and I loved it. I have seen Deepa Metha's movies before and THIS isn't your typical Metha movie it is vibrant, new, and fresh. The fashion is on point and the movie is great to watch. Randeep's acting is superb he emulates the values of indo-cdns - family oriented, giving, and strong. The Beeba Boys are like One Direction you can't help but watch. There a little bit of humour, a touch of sadness, and some prevalent issues.
It is unfortunate that Canada battles the issue of gangs whether Indo-Cdn or others but this movie just puts the message out there; they exist! Deepa isn't making a documentary she is making a MOVIE. A movie that i thoroughly enjoyed and think you will too!
