Film's story is totally boring ..But humour at some places makes film time pass.. overall it's one time watch..
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 !

At last akshay kumar got it right :) after series of awful movies (except patiala house) i had lost hope on him but what a nice way to come back with a bang :) Story and Direction - Story is not novel but direction by rohit dhawan is good considering it is his first movie. He has bright future as director.
Performances - Akshay Kumar rocks man ! He has performed exceedingly well - comedy he does good as usual but it is emotional scenes - the one with child where he showcases his ability as actor ! John Abraham does well - although he need to improve his dancing skills which was ordinary ! Deepika Padukone was also good ! Chitrangda strikes in small role ! Anupam Kher was good ! Sanjay Dutt was show stealer - he was brilliant in his cameo ! The child who play Akshay's nephew was cute and did well ! Omi Vaidya irritates a lot ! Music - Music is highlight of the movie ! Desi Boyz title track and Allah Maaf kare are my favorites.
Cinematography was good (locales of UK were beautiful). Editing was good though they could have cut down the court scene in climax which was too lengthy and slightly irritating.
In Other Words, Desi Boyz is no classic but it is feel good movie - a nice entertainer 8/10.

Great movie Finally akshay and jhonny boy are back together...good to see them .. acting throughout the movie is very good ...akshay kumar is very good in this movie & also his paring with chitrangada singh ,jhon is back with same acting but over all a good act & looks great in this movie.i was waiting to see this movie finally was able to make it ... and must say that loved every movement of it,A must watch if u can relate your self with the story,which i was able to match up with akshay's life in the movie.. have to say the songs play a very very big part of the movie as well ... the emotional scenes in the movie was directed very well ..and was touching ..finally, the child and akshay share a good chemistry which makes u cry at some sences...must watch not only for time pass but also to enjoy and take home sweet memories of the movie ..... loved it !!!
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

- TriviaThe 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.
