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

Akshay Kumar has taken an oath to laugh at his own one-liners, do mindless comedies, do gravity defying action scenes, some songs by Honey Singh and all other cheap techniques. Every Friday there is a movie like this, Actors, Directors and Producers or for that matter all the crew members are taking the ingredients from Masala Movie template and cashing the receipts of money. There is something seriously wrong with our Film Industry because they have many movies on the floors; they are merely interested in good cinema. Akshay Kumar has done a great job but he is gradually diminishing his own image.
'Boss' (Akshay Kumar) who becomes a mobster serving jail in his childhood. His father (Mithun Chakraborty) has parted ways from him and doesn't want to see his face again. Surya's younger brother Shiv (Shiv Pandit) is in police custody due and ACP Ayushman Thakur (Ronit Roy) abhors him, as Shiv loves Ayushman's sister Ankita (Aditi Rao Hydari). No Boss has to save his brother because blood is thicker than water.
It is a remake of Malayalam movie 'Pokkiri Raja 2010', which itself a very bad movie. The writing is absolutely absurd because many things come and go without any significance. Akshay Kumar enters the screen after 30 minutes and gets the he is the only person on the screen. Jokes and punches are lame, forced songs give screenplay a hard time to manage the narrative.
Sanjay Mishra & Johnny Lever have been wasted completely. Mithun and Danny do what is required. Shiv and Aditi love track never impresses as they both look indifferent. Shiv Pandit has done an astounding Job is "Shaitan" and he should probably refrain from such roles.
The show stealer is "Ronit Roy" as a menacing and ruthless ACP; he delivers the dialogs the perfect body language. He is the only thing which sticks in the mind.
There are some of the scenes which make you laugh. Otherwise it is really a headache to hear the overdone dialogs and emotional scenes.
Overall, it the same movie that comes every Friday with different actors and crew.

Boss Review: movie started with Amitabh voice which was really incredible and Denny part too. then one by one entry of all star cast,every entry part is too good specially Joney & Ronit but bit disappoint with late entry of Akhay Kumar but so far best entry. And style of BOSS is best part in movie. when all songs came one by one your leg and head start shaking with it. then unwanted part of flashback is not suitable at that stage of the movie. till interval it's avg. after that the story took actually good move. in whole movie two characters BOSS & AYUSHMAN THAKUR are really increase the value of your 2 hours. Akshay with his purely kind hearted,lovable,fun to watch Gangster and Ronit Roy with his not really lovable actually not at all, dare to watch Acp Bollywood mas-ala movie climax and end as we all know fighting scene and family drama hero-villain-hero-villain but hero smashed...!
Best parts : Akshay Kumar and Ronit Roy acting,funny parts,cinematography,action scenes,.dialogs and how to forget songs this parts makes BOSS at it title
Bad parts : romance of shiv,some melodrama,flash back part at unwanted stage and how to forget some flu-shy scene this parts make you to feel-flush all this part from the movie.
LAST WORDS : this movie manage is title at some points it is not fully penny washable movie but some parts and scenes really do! this movie is cup of tea for those who likes real face of Bollywood i mean mas-ala movie just for fun and 2-3 hours enjoyment from your hectic life!! And you know very well which is your cup of tea & which is not...? choice is yours! enjoy!!

Harmless fun. Thankfully the fun is not numbed down by being all too brainless - just the sporadic instance here and there, mostly interspersed within the action scenes. Akshay Kumar enjoys himself in a role he can sleep through and he succeeds in involving the audience in his revelry. We even get to see him doing some real action and stunts after a long time.
Shiv Pandit just passes muster, while Aditi Rao Hydari literally has nothing to do. Sadly Mithun forgot his acting chops at home, and Danny's acting chops are criminally underutilized. But above all, the real scene stealer from the very first frame he enters till the last is Ronit Roy, who essays his first complete negative role with sublime malevolence.

This one surely needs to be watched as it was a fun.I know it was a bit of mindless but an throughly enjoyable movie that banks on quite a few departments. akshay is the protagonist here and he does full justice 2 the character.he is funny and his dialogue delivery is better.ronit roy is antagonist and got to be appreciated because he really suited this role.others are fine. music is really good. story wise it might be an average flick but performances gave it great support.it's not great film but a time pass movie which can be definitely enjoyed with the family and lastly action scenes are attention seeker. bottom line- watch it for akshay ,ronit and for an entertainer.
