What a beautiful movie!
An Exercise In Nonsense
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

View More"Boss" isn't very different from the Khiladhi series of Akshay Kumar or his Rowdy Rathore which gathered much of audiences. The similar story, fight sequences, songs appear a bit boring by now. However, the emotions, fights, and comedy do work in bit and pieces. But on a whole the film doesn't leave much of the impact; and by the time you leave your seats, you don't remember any of the moments in the movie. Akshay's performance isn't very different from his other entertainers, Ronit Roy is a bot impressive, and other actors don't leave much of impact. Overall, for its technical aspects, the film is watchable; but in terms of story, the film is quite forgettable.Rating: 1 star out of 4
View MoreBOSS is as Vidya Balan said in the Dirty Picture pure ENTERTAINMENT,ENTERTAINMENT and ENTERTAINMENT. Its a Akshay Kumar show all the way, he comes up with a Mindblowing performance and shows he is the baap of action and comedy in bollywood nobody comes even close!!! BOSS unlike other mindless rnasala entertainers has a story, the films is about a father son relationship, and how a brother protects his younger brother from a corrupt cop. Acting wise the ensemble cast of Shiv Pandit, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra impress. But the likes of Mithun Chakavarty, Danny Denzonpa give first rate amazing performances. Ronit Roy plays the villain and matches up to Akshay Kumar in the climax fight which by the way is a treat for action lovers. Ronit Roy is first rate. But of course as stated before Akshay Kumar walks away with all the praise, its a film for his fans for sure!!! Dir Anthony D Souza after blue flopping has hit the right notes with BOSS. He has made India's best action film, and keeps everyone entertained with great comedy and a good emotional touch. Overall if you want watch a good action comedy film, with the right dose of emotion, or if you want watch a great masala entertainer which is not mindless watch BOSS this eid. This one is a sure shot blockbuster which is made for AKSHAY KUMAR FANS!!!!
View MoreCome every festival time and at least one of our shining Bollywood stars rises to deliver a mas-ala entertainer. Boss came. Boss went. The trailer promised much but the actual film sucked. The same old formula is at play- comedy fused action, punch in the guts dialogs, outlandish stunts, Honey Singh and Mika hip hop monotone songs, every alternate scene in slow motion, and inconsequential ladies. This formula has reduced so called entertainers to be near clones of each other, and rather than movie quality, it is the audiences ' fancy deciding whether one is a hit or not. There is an attempt at emotion though- a father turning his son out, and their reunion story. Mithun Chakraborty gives the worst performance of his career as an hackneyed school teacher, preaching non violence and driving that point hard by wearing Gandhian specs. Akshay Kumar playing the titular character, a kind hearted Haryanvi gangster, is a cross between his previous mas-ala characters- Rowdy Rathod and Singh is Kinng. He enters even later than Batman making his entry in The Dark Knight Rises, and brings on the heavy guns- . He only kicks ass if music is playing. Logic says he carry an ipod or two then. But no- this is modern day entertainment. So he carries a full on orchestra, along with dancing girls for his fighting needs. And when he gets bored of beating people to pulp, he indulges them in an attritional game of free running. The laughs are mostly build around crazy plot twists- a bomb placed in someone's rear and a plumber with a spanner taking it out, a truck track, a rocking chair assembled of men- take your pick. Then there is Ronit Roy- the suave but corrupt policeman, also described as chandal, kamina, and other godly terms. He lacks a moral compass. Ronit and Akshay started out at the same time, but their careers have gone in different directions. Ronit is one bright spark about Boss, he looks and acts more bad-ass than Boss himself. Then there is a host of good, supporting actors like Parikshit Sahni, Danny, Shakti Kapoor, Johnny Lever, Sudesh Berry, Aditi Rao Hydari who do not knw what they are doing. Wait- not Aditi- she knows what she is doing, this is after all, her bikini movie- the slender two piece has very high ROI. It has made millionaires out of paupers, so there is that.If i were to find positives, i would think director Anthony D'Souza has improved upon his previous outing- Blue, but that is not saying how good Boss is as it is saying how bad Blue was. Boss is beating the donkey dead. Strangely, even Akshay realizes that - he not only looks old, and haggard, he looks positively tired. The audience is also tired- 4/10
