Absolutely Brilliant!

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

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

"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

If I take a look at Akshay Kumar's career graph over the past 5 years, most of his movies were ridiculous. I mean, I am still unable to understand why he chooses movies like Rowdy Rathore, Boss, Khiladi 786 when he can do a gem like Special 26. Boss has few good elements in it including the songs and some emotional scenes. But what obviously fails to impress is the storyline and some scientific scenes( mark here "scientific"- one where a plant starts growing with the mere sweat of Akshay Kumar). Story is as normal as it can get and predictable. Ronit Roy is the only feel good factor in this movie(not sure why he did not join movies earlier). Supporting cast including Mithun ,newcomer Shiv and Aditi Rao Hydari fail to make an impact. Overall, Boss is only for die hard Akshay fans and if you are that desperate to watch it, wait for it's satellite release.

India has many Gods and dieties. There is the well known "Ganesh", who looks like an elephant, "Hanuman", and "Lord Krishna", the God sung to when singing the "Hare Krishna". Now there is another Lord, "Lord Akshay" Lord Akshay can do many, many things. He can jump up buildings like spider-man, fight numerous amounts of big men, dances all night with people all around the world; apparently the world dances to his tune and follows his footsteps.One honest revelation, when Shiv (Pandit) admitted to BOSS that 'he couldn't act', well, that was SO TRUE. The guy is like dead-wood on the screen. Any "romance" between him and that girl is fantasy in the directors head. Akshay replied him "That's the trouble with you youngsters".Well, Rishiraj Pawar, who played Young Boss, aka young Surya... that guy CAN ACT and THEN SOME. The minute he comes on screen you understand every feeling and emotion of the character, he almost makes you feel like crying in sympathy with his plight...And that there lies the problem with modern Bollywood, style over substance. They'd rather get some shirtless 'hot young hunk', or some rubbish, as opposed to someone who isn't necessarily that good looking but knows how to act and carry emotion.The main problem with this movie is that Akshay Kumar lacks the ability to convey the emotions of his character; instead he's more interested in showing off and being an exhibitionist.It does help you have Mithun Chakraborty in a supporting role as a lion-hearted father who wont shift on morals.Rishiraj Pawar sets the story and character up for Akshay, and all Akshay has to do is bring it home. Instead Akshay acts like Poochie the dog from that aborted Itchy and Scratchie episode, for those of you who watch 'The Simpsons'.Actually, that's not such a bad thing; he does entertain a bit. But you ultimately watch these things for a good story brought home with good acting, and a bit of entertaining, not just inane boasting, though that does go down well with the commercial side of Bollywood cinema.The movie is a decent screen grab but not a real winner.

Boss is strictly a routine action+comedy flick which we have seen a thousand times in Hindi Cinema.... Anthony D'souza from horrible Blue(2009) to Boss(2013) has not evolved that much, Of course it is better than Blue but not very good...Boss is a story a boy who is hated by his father for his bad anger and it lead him to become a criminal and after all the melodrama about the hero and a villain...Story'Screenplay and Dialogues : Story by Farhad- Sajid is nothing to cheer about. Its the old routine drama we have seen. The Screenplay is rather engaging accept the unnecessary flashback scenes. It binds the audience well . Dialogue are also routine,sometimes out of the box like repeating" Apne ko sirf Paani nikalna hai" is irritating after sometime...Performances: Akshay Kumar is very good in emotional scenes. He emotes really well. But overall he is just okay.Ronit Roy is just exceptional as Ayushmann Thakur. He delivers a tremendous performance once again. But I felt maybe he should have a more scene presence. Shiv Pandit is just wasted. We have seen him in Shaitan and he was very good. But wasted totally here. Aditi Rao Hydari has nothing to do. She is Bad in everything she has done. Mithun Chakraborty has done a good work. He is a great actor and has shown his maturity. Danny is Okay.. Aakash Dabhade as Minister's son Vishal is very good Direction: Anthony D'souza has done a horrible movie before that was Blue. With Respect to Blue he has done a good job. But overall he is just a mediocre director. Overall, If u r a Akshay fan you can go for it . If u r not still you can go for it but at your own risk...!!!
