Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Brilliant and touching

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A movie that everyone interested in bollywood, or film in general, should see. Wonderful visuals. Interesting snippits of bollywood culture - is Boom really the typical Bombay/Mumbai man? Ai, Ai, Ai, typical or not he is fun to watch and listen too. The easy blend of English and Hindi puts "spanglish" to shame. Click those subtitles "ON" when you watch! The sexual innuendo from "Later" to "give her a kiss" are pretty innocent and mild by Western standards, and thus so fresh and refeshing to a porn-raised western audience. The dance scene could have been the inspiration for the hallucination scene in the Big Lebowski (except that Lebowski is from 1998, five years before the 2003 Boom). To top it off, the plot shows women as intelligent, self-assured, and in charge - even women thought of by others as dumb eye candy only. It also shows the impoverished worker as capable and smart, while the weathly gangsters are the stupid ones. This is a Democratic movie and sticks it to the rich Republican gangsters of this world. Of course, the unneccessary on-screen violence, drug use, and death ruins those parts of the film, but that's why we have eyes -- just close them for a moment here and there, and enjoy the rest of this treasure of a film.

I'm still in a state of shock, i think i may have officially seen the worst movie ever made, and believe me I have seen a lot of rubbish movies but I think I can safely say this is a number 1. I watched it cos a friend said it was really funny and laughable script.. but I definitely wasn't prepared for this. Though seriously how many types of class drugs could the 'director' possible have been on.. watever he's smoking I want. Plus is he trying to be tarantino wats with all the 'reservoir dogs' connections. I dunno much about indian movies but I thought amhitab is one of the respected type actors.. how did he get involved with this. As for the plot all I could get ,between the sudden cuts in the movie (probably happened later in the editing room once the weed ran out), is that there are 3 'baddies' whose names read like a fast food menu, Big Medium and Small and there are 3 model types,whose names I can't remember but I'd rather call Miss my knees never meet, Miss whiny I dont do anything memorable, and Miss no one remembers my face... and thru some this plot line these 6 ppl meet. Weird thing is burj al Arab allowed them to rent the hotel for this long.. bet the owner was on holiday or somethingId give it a 1 cos it really does make u laugh watch out for the sing and dance number at the bank robbery

Going to the movies is a wholesome experience for me. I look forward to the movie as soon I have my tickets booked. I have certain expectations from the movie and I switch off the outside world along with my cellphone as I settle in to watch the movie. This is how I settled down yesterday evening to watch this movie called Boom. The movie promised to have the elusive right mix of oomph and a real story coupled with good actors and behind it all a director who has been threatening to deliver for a long time. The spin-doctors had given good publicity to the movie by making sure that its every round to the censors was well publicised along with the usual comments on whatever happened to freedom of expression and self-censorship.The two hours of the movie passed in a whirl and it was difficult for me to conclude on what was worse- the movie or the audience. I for once pitied the censor board who has to see such junk like this in its raw form and then be criticised for censoring parts of the movie. I also came out of the movie with significant additions to my knowledge bank- I got to know, for example, that a bag of cement costs around 100 rupees or so and can be delivered the next day morning if it ordered around 7pm. How I know is because the person next to me was a cement dealer and obviously likes to conduct his business on the phone in a cinema hall when he is not whistling or nudging his partner everytime he saw a bikini on the screen. In addition, if I missed a double meaning dialogue in the movie then I only had to concentrate on the animated conversation behind me to hear it again amid a thousand giggles. With such wholesome entertainment all around me who wants to see the movie. Not that there was anything in the movie to watch. It's amazing how easily you can go wrong even if you put a bunch of talented actors on screen and some models who can also talk and a woman named Bo Derek thrown in for some more oomph. So much of oomph in that movie that I almost oomphed my way out of the hall! They were traces in the movie that reminded me of Pulp Fiction or even Sex and the City, which are both amazing productions in their own right and if only he had copied them we would have got everything we wanted. But no sir, we are too much into the East meets West syndrome these days. East meets West and takes a dive into the Pacific Ocean never to show itself again. Atleast not in the form of Boom! If this is what fusion of cultures is about I am all for pure breeds. I cannot imagine that I paid money to see a movie like this. I won't see it even if someone offered me money for this. The movie is like an orchestra in action and everything is being played out of tune and what is worse is that you can recognise what they are trying to play and that is driving you even more crazy.As for the crowd, what can I say, it deserved the movie as much as the movie deserved the crowd. Every show of skin and every raunchy dialogue were greeted with such cheers that you would assume that these women had landed in their laps! All this while cellphones were buzzing in the hall and everybody was talking to everybody else telling them they were sitting in a hall watching a movie- and what's up?Please go and see this movie and maybe it will help you appreciate how bad movie making can get. Its always nice to see the worst so we can better appreciate the good.As for the director and producer - BOOM BOOM!!

Had the displeasure of seeing Boom on a 150 bucks ticket yesterday. I rue my decision of watching a Hindi flick on a theatre after such a long time. Hindi Movie? Yup, for no understandable logic, even the PVR Priya ran the Hindi version of the Movie. OMFG this was a sad sad day. The movie was not a movie after all. More like a fashion show with some weirdo background thrown in. Whole of the movie was concentrated on the three idiot models. Loads of footage was given to the bulging bosoms and tiny pieces of garments they accidentally were wearing. This when the movie cast consisted of 4 of the most talented actors of this generation. Amitabh Bachchan, Javed Jaffrey, Gulshan Grover and Jackie Shroff - These 4 guys are awesome in themselves but all are wasted. Making the models, the center point of the movie was a mistake. But this stands true only if Kaizad Gustad in fact was trying to make a movie. The saving grace was definitely Zeenat Amaan who still is capable of kicking any of the featured model's ass. Among the cameos, I liked Rohit Bal best. He proved that the models can learn something about acting from him.Irony of the movie: When Jackie Shroff compared the models to his ahem ahem employee Pavitra. That was awesome. Some food for thought! In one sentence: If you are looking for a movie with some logic, skip it. But perhaps no one wants/expects it to be a movie after all. not even the director, I suppose.Someone tell me this. IMDB list Manish Malhotra, Naseeruddin Shah and various other celebrities in the star cast as special appearances. I can't remember catching these. Perhaps they came when I slept tired of kicking my own ass...IMDB's User Comments: THE WORST MOVIE EVER I don't agree. Aks was worse.
