Truly Dreadful Film

Memorable, crazy movie

Better Late Then Never

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I usually enjoy Akshay Kumar's comedy roles, the last good one I saw was Khiladi 786. I bought the Boss DVD expecting a few good laughs.What a terrible disappointment and not surprising that it bombed at the box office. The entire movie has so much mindless violence that it is disgusting. There was hardly anything that was funny about it. Worse still to know that so many youth will ape the violent scenes just because it is depicted in the movie.This is definitely not for family viewing. Akshay ought to be ashamed of himself for doing such a violent movie.

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.

i don't have any plans to see this movie. but today i went off to see this movie. i don't have any expectation from this movie. movie start it was boring. nothing excitement cause of poor acting by Aditi and Shiv. but Akshay Kumar and Ronit Roy save the day. when they appeared on the screen the movie changes the way. Ronit Roy the TV actor done a fabulous job as an antagonist. And Akshay Kumar done a very very good job. the dialogs, the comedy and the action was too good. movie would be better if there is some settlement in this movie. anyways this movie was better than other movies i've watched in Bollywood. i have seen Pokkir Raja but i didn't like that a bit but this one is better version of that original movie. the songs of the movie are too much good. i just enjoyed and enjoyed them. this movie can be watchable with family. there are some scene that contain some scene. but they are indirect. Action=10/10 Songs=10/10 Acting=9/10 Story=8/10 So overall my rating is 9/10. have a good watch :)

Anthony D'Souza's 'Boss' is Time-Pass! An entertaining joyride, that is filled with super action, a dose of comedy & some wonderfully heartfelt moments.'Boss' Synopsis: A hero of his town comes to a city to rescue his brother from an evil cop.'Boss' has a good first-hour, but an awesome second. Keeping in mind this is a commercial film, the film succeeds big time by keeping the viewing engrossed. The Screenplay is well-done. The emotional father-son track is heartfelt, the comedy is spot-on & the action-sequences are mind-blowing. 'Boss' is a colorful entertainer that offers what it promises, which is entertainment. Anthony D'Souza's Direction is decent. Cinematography & Editing are fair. Music by various artists is super.Performance-Wise: Mithun Chakraborty is outstanding, as always. Akshay Kumar plays Boss, marvelously. He's energetic & lovable throughout. Shiv Pandit is credible. Ronit Roy is excellent as the dirty cop. Danny is wonderful. Aditi Rao Hydari looks gorgeous & delivers ably. Johnny Lever & Sanjay Mishra provide genuine laughs. Parikshit Sahni is adequate. Govind Namdeo & Aakash Dabhade are okay.On the whole, 'Boss' is a Winner.
