    It's really an entertaining & worth watching comedy movie!

    Akshay is back with his charm in Desi Boyz after giving flop movies like Tees Maar Khan, Action Replay, Patiyala House. Desi Boyz is probably the most entertaining comedy movie of the year. The Chemistry between Akshay and John is outstanding. Omi Vaidya is also very good in the movie. You will really enjoy the funny gags in the movie, especially gags with Ajay aka Omi Vaidya. Anupam Kher and Sanjay Dutt are also good. Glamour of Deepika Padukone and Chitrangada Singh is also charming. Story and Direction of the movie is good. Music is also good.

    Overall, it's an entertaining & worth watching comedy movie i recommend you to watch.

    They think that people r so dumb they will make what ever and earn money

    Can i get my money back , its really a stupid , crap , very bad movie if you don't believe see the below links for reviews Foreign audience are blaming Bollywood, why do they make such a crap movie because of these Review of the people who saw the Desi Boyz in America , the people who saw it in America (new jersey), see the reactions of the it people who saw it in America see.it was. released on 2 days earlier due to thanksgiving , Its a trash movie , they were blaming , and asking that Bollywood should prohibited from making the movies. I has got only 1 star by mos of the unbiased reviews , see the reviews , Watch if you want to sleep in theater and have lot of money to waste please give my money back , and pay for the torture , you should pay me to watch this movie

    Akshay is finally back !

    Before going into the theater,I didn't expect much because the trailer seemed senseless and... since Akshay's previous scores were terrible in Action Replayy,Tees Maar Khan,Patiala House and Thank You,I remained hopeless. But WOW.The movie was more like a surprise. The chemistry between Akshay and John is excellent.Jokes were hilarious.Some flaws in directing.

    Concerning music,Pritam builds up a good tempo in 'Make some noise for Desi Boyz' and carries the fun promisingly with Jhak Maar Ke and Tu Mera Hero with an all-together new breed and genre of music.

    The whole movie is a laughter pack for everyone and it is one of the best comedies of 2011.

    Don't miss this,Highly Recommended !

    a refreshing movie

    DESI BOYZ: a good entertainer with a backdrop of financial recession with a mix of emotions,,,,,the first half will make you laugh while the second half is filled with emotions which is good to watch john played his role well while Akshay moved like mercury in his character,,,Deepika is good enough

    the negative points of this movie is that it goes back in entertainment at few places the songs are not so good except for the title song and poor background music

    Sanjay Dutt plays a good comical role

    MY WORD: go for it and refresh yourself

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The story of Akshay Kumar and his nephew is heavily influenced by the plot of Adam Sandler starrer Big Daddy. The scene in the beginning where he enters Nick Mathur's Birthday bash and the surprise gets wasted is a straight pick up from Big Daddy where Adam is shown to be a irritating slacker just like Akshay's character.
    • Goofs
      (around 1 hour and 35 minutes) Nikhil Mathur finished talking to his ex-girlfriend. He should have walked towards the steps because that is where his guitar and dog were, but he was walking towards a dead end.
