    6SAMTHEBESTEST

    This one Entertains as well as teaches something at the End.

    POSTER BOYS REVIEW : I have already watched Marathi version of Poster Boys multiple times on TV and liked it so obviously i was not expecting much from the Hindi version. But despite being predictable for me, film did not disappoint at all. From the Beginning till the end film doesn't lose the grip so it end up as a Decent One Time Watch. If i compare it with the marathi film then there will be so many minuses but i think it would be unfair so let it remain individual film and let me talk about it.

    Performances of 3 lead male stars lifts the tempo of the film. Sunny Deol is massy, loudy so does lovable in his most lovable avatar. Bobby plays a decent and gentleman's characters so this one doesn't impress much. Shreyas is playing a Tapori character and may be that is why he looks different from Deols and connects well with the audience. Music is below average and thankfully there are No useless songs in a film except the beginning credit song in which Elli Avram skin show is eye pleasing for masses. Screenplay is tight, no useless scenes, it is sticked to the content strictly that's why film doesn't go off track for a minute. Direction wise Shreyas doesn't show something new but still it looked good because he had strong script in hands so there's no need to do much. And thankfully he did not try anything and did not try to disturb the main theme of the film. Dialogues are catchy, some PJs are hilarious such as Sunny Deol's famous dialogues, Soldier's ringtone and many more.

    Overall, Poster Boys is a Decent and watchful film with mixture of Good and realistic script, Comedy, few massy scenes and above all there's a Social message in climax. So go for this one, if you have not seen the Marathi version then you'll like it very much and even if you have watched the marathi version still film won't disappoint you. I give 6/10* to this Well made, Well crafted, Social Comedy flick.

    A Pretty Decent Remake Of The Marathi Blockbuster

    An official remake of Sameer Patil's 2014 Marathi runaway hit "Poshter Boyz",Shreyas Talpade's directorial debut 'Poster Boys' deals with the highly socially relevant issue of male sterilization in a light- hearted tone with satisfactory dose of slapstick and verbal humor to label it as a decent entertainer for the single screen audience in particular.Most importantly the movie marks the come back of Bobby Deol into the big screens after a hiatus of almost 4 years,who has managed to give out a solid performance that's instantly lovable.

    The saving grace of the movie for most part is the brilliant chemistry between Deol brothers and Shreyas,and the trio ensures that the loopholes on the storyline is concealed up to an extent.The screenplay credited to the duo of Bunty Rathore and Paritosh Painter is filled with abundance of comic sequences which at times become a bit too loud and repetitive.

    The climax portions puts forward a commendable social message which could have been more impactful had the screenplay been less predictable and giving more emphasize on the issue rather than resorting to low-brow humor.The movie had a feel of television sitcom at times which can be attributed to the constrained budget of the movie.The references to yesteryear super-hits of Deol brothers like 'Soldier','Border' and 'Damini' was funny and executed well.

    It was a delight to watch Bobby Deol back on the big-screen after a long-time and the charismatic made it sure that the character invested on him is portrayed well with necessary mannerisms and dedication.Sunny Deol too gave an impressive performance and the funny sequences involving him were totally hilarious and the best part of the narration.Shreyas Talpade was impressive with his comic timing.Sonali Kulkarni and Samiksha Bhatnagar were adequate.Ashwini Kalsekar did her part well.

    Two among the three songs in the movie was used in the credits and the idea to reboot 'Kudiyan Shehar Di' from Arjun Pandit has worked out well among the mass audience.Technical side of the movie was okayish.

    Overall,Poster boys is an average comedy-drama that's worth a watch for its social relevance,some funny one-liners and neat performances from the cast.

    is a decent comedy

    Poster Boys, a remake of a Marathi movie, is a decent comedy, but the running time has to be reduced by 20 minutes. Three men, for no fault of theirs, find their faces featured on a poster promoting nasbandi. This creates a lot of problems in their personal lives n they try to salvage their reputation. Good to see Sunny n Bobby in different roles, where they fight less n talk more. Some dialogues are witty, without being vulgar. There is a message at the end which needs to be appreciated by the male audiences. Rating 2.5/5.

    If a film isn't a hit, it doesn't mean it's not good

    Had a great time watching this film with my family. We couldn't stop laughing. Just what was needed on a Sunday evening.

    Great job. Light hearted, good script, funny jokes and references and very good performances.

    Good job from the first time director too. Both behind and in front of the camera.

    Throughly enjoyable. Don't think about it too much and just enjoy it for what it is.

    Subject of 'Male sterilization is demeaning' is old and above it, treatment is ancient

    There was a time when male sterilization was so demeaning but now a days, approach is changed. If they had handled this subject in light way then it could have been ticklish but they stuffed it with pretending unnecessarily high pitch drama and stupid comedy. In climax they tried to justify this subject in sensible way but that was too late and sudden. Film opens with all male actors back to camera, one journalist speaks about them and film goes to flash back with loud back ground and then opens with a dance sequence on which credits roll over. Nothing gels well, neither that back ground sound, nor that item song but character gets introduced in it. They tried to keep 'poster' issue as surprise for almost 25 minutes which was well exposed and revealed in trailer! They have tried to encash already established two male protagonist image by mocking their own hit dialogues. Master, played by Bobby Deol, has soldier song as ring tone. Government officer name is Balwant!! It is obvious that they could not find new gags so they tried to go on beaten path. Chaudhary (Sunny Deol), suddenly turns into his high voltage angry image by breaking lock, chair etc !! Drama seems lame and loud because of not so dramatic Poster issue but is has established as disaster by showing, Chaudhary's sister marriage gets cancelled. They think about ancient scene like Pagadhi putting on groom's father feet for not cancelling marriage !!? Master's wife, who has already two daughters, threatens him to divorce because she wants another male baby. Third, a recovery agent but behaving like goon is accepted by girl's family but gets rejected by girl's father due to that poster. There is nothing in the name of characterization. For example, teacher lives in Punjab, teaches Geography then speaks typical Hindi and sometimes Chemistry formulas, who is known for forgetting crux lines. A deaf photographer and his chubby female translator assistant!! Makers would have thought it as a laugh riot but it was lamest long scene. If male sterilization was so demeaning for that village than rather than going for medical checkup to prove that they had not done it they try every way like thrashing officers, going to court then announcing in press conference for nude protest but doing semi nude protest. First half is somehow bearable but second half is annoying. That long protest scene is too much. Everything happens in jiffy in climax. Even they preach after all stupid show off. Performance wise Bobby Deol as teacher is very impressive as a timid guy. Sunny Deol is good for whatever had tasked to him.
