Bluffmaster! Trailers

Roy is a professional conman, who has raised his work to the level of an art. The only true thing he has is his love for Simmi someone who is so rooted, honest and sincere, that he can't bring himself to tell her the reality of who he is. But when his past catches up with him, she cannot forgive him for the deceit their relationship is built on. He loses her forever. That's when Aditya Srivastav enters the picture. He is the counterpoint to everything that Roy is as frantic as Roy is calm, as dumb as Roy is smart, as messy and untidy as Roy is smooth. They have only one thing in common. Aditya is a conman too. At least he thinks of himself as one. In Roy's book, he's an embarrassment. But one that won't go away!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This is beyond doubt best Hindi movie I have seen. The story is fast and there are no prolonged emotional / crying scenes. It actually has a story / plot which is rare. Actors have all acted well and dialogs are good. From starting till end movie has been carried well and songs are also nice. The movie is also decent and can be watched with friends and family without feel awkward. The movie also teaches some very important lessons about life and eventually leaves the viewer happy and satisfied. I hope the readers of this review like the movie as much as I did.

The twist at the end lifted an ordinary movie for me to something slightly better then average.Pros: A couple of performances. Ritesh stole the show despite being underused. This guy hasn't looked back since Masti and is easily one of the best comedians in Bollywood today. Nana in his typical style owns every scene he's a part of(especially the climax). It's good to see him do something a little different. The look of the film is very 'Bombay' and I thought it gelled in perfectly with the subject matter.Cons: The Abhshek-Priyanka relationship didn't do it for me at all. They look good physically, but that's all there is to it. Abhishek's fixation with her is puzzling throughout the movie. In one scene he's talking to her abt not doing his thing anymore because he "loves" her, but we know that's a flat out lie. Makes AB's already confusing feelings for her look even weaker. His character in fact is very contradictory for the majority of the story. Tough to see his motivation for the stuff he does. AB Jr. gives a fairly good performance(if a bit dull), but I would prefer the leading character of any movie to have some likable traits and Roy doesn't really have 'em. This matters because the people AB's conning are GOOD guys, so why exactly should we like this guy or even root for him? He struck me as a real jerk.Priyanka's acting is strictly OK and even her appearance isn't what we've come to expect from her. Boman Irani's character reminded me a little too much of some of his previous ones. He's good, but NOT My Wife's Murder or Munnabhai good.Still, I would say BM is worth a dekho once for the novelty(Bolly "novelty", of course), a couple of very enjoyable performances and the great twist at the end. A lot of people have complained abt the slow pace in the middle but the story was good enough to keep my attention.

The movie is quite refreshing but it has a striking similarities with Nicolas Cage starer "Matchstick Men" maybe we can say Bluffmaster is inspired by this movie.The movie begins with a film producer (Tinu Anand) taking an anonymous call on someone's lost mobile he found lying on the road. In the call, he is told to collect a huge sum of money from a garbage can. The money is presumed to be the ransom paid to the kidnapper who lost his mobile.The producer tries his luck. He finds the money there. But then, the cops come. The head cop (Abhishek) begins planting more evidence at the 'crime site'. The producer begs and offers big bribe. The head cop relents. The bluffmaster has struck.Meet Roy (Abhishek Bachchan), a street-savvy bluffmaster who knows many a trick in the con game. The only thing he doesn't bluff is his romance for Simi (Priyanka Chopra).On his engagement day with Simi, Roy's reality is exposed in front of her entire family. The engagement is called off and Roy is left pining for Simi's love.In the meantime, Roy meets another connie. This junior connie, name Dittu (Ritesh Deshmukh), tries unsuccessfully to bluff Roy. He later becomes Roy's chela.While Roy is trying to regain Simi's love, he comes to know a shocking truth. He has brain tumor. His doctor, Dr. Bhalerao (Boman Irani), says he has just three months left to live.When Roy tells Simi this truth, she thinks he is playing another one of his tricks to get her back. A serene and spurned Roy decides to live his remaining life to the fullest.He wants to pull off one last big con on Chandru Parekh (Nana Patekar), who made Dittu's father a pauper after conning the old man. Dittu wants to even the score with Chandru by conning him in return.Roy teaches Dittu the tricks of the game and the two manage to dupe Chandru of crores. But Chandru won't go down so easily. It's not the money, but his "image" that has been challenged.As the climax draws closer, Chandru hits back. He abducts Simi and demands Roy to return the money to save the girl.Roy, who knows his eventual fate is to die, faces Chandru's gun...What follows next will certainly take you by surprise.

Abhishek has come a long way. He can dance, sing, act, and entertain. If you have seen Michael Douglas starred "The Game" you will see the inspiration part and truly well inspired and not copied!The movie is very well made. Song and dance are well timed and consumed well in the movie. Interestingly, some of the background music is remixed old songs, which makes it really fun without mediocrity. The movie is not cheap and very well finished even though it has a lot of tapori factor to it, executed with class. Abhishek's rap is awesome, he has done it in style and he can do it.Actors are utilized very well and have done excellent justice to their character. Nana Patekar is hilarious especially in the end. Priyanka is beautiful and delivered her acting very well. One of the most interesting characters is that of Omar, he must have about 10 lines of dialog in the entire movie of which 2 you will hear completely rest are all beeped! In fact, as he appears on the screen the beep starts in a very hilarious way.On the whole I recommend this movie with no second doubts.
