A few dialogues (most in a Haryanvi accent) will surely bring the house down and his fans will enjoy a lot here. Akshay Kumar does what he is best at – this is his kind of cinema and he plays to the gallery, keeping you thoroughly entertained.

Director Anthony D’Souza keeps it slick and even manages to keep it quite crisp though the running time is two and a half hours. The wait is worth it, especially for his fans. What is more surprising is that Akshay Kumar makes his grand entry thirty minutes into the film. The jokes don’t really fall flat, the music (five composers including Honey Singh) is peppy and fits rightly into the film, the action is bizarre but well-directed and even the baap-beta melodrama doesn’t come across as over-the-top, thanks to convincing performances. Of course, you were not expecting an intelligent plot here and hence, you may not want to crib about it. Fifteen years later, paths cross when the strict father seeks help from the contract killer (He doesn’t want to call him his son… Sad… Eh!) to save his son (Shiv Pandit) when the young lad is put behind bars by a corrupt and dangerous police officer (Ronit Roy) for falling in love with his sister. The wrong child becomes a protégé to Bigg Boss (Danny Denzongpa) and grows up to be a contract killer with a heart of gold. But unlike most of these films, ‘Boss’ is slick and if I may use the word – paisa vasool!Ī throwback to the Manmohan Desai school of film-making, ‘Boss’ tells you a story (not really) of an upright principled father (Mithun Chakraborty) and his two sons – one goes the right way and stays back with him the other supposedly takes up the wrong path and is banished by his father. ‘Boss’ is indeed yet another commercial potboiler – it is loud, it has some funny and some unfunny humor, it has some dialogue-baazi… add to that some melodrama, songs and lest you forget the hero bashes up villains single-handedly which has become a necessary ingredient for movies to bring in the crowds these days. The former opinion did come true with a difference. I was still apprehensive about watching Director Anthony D’Souza’s ‘Boss’ partly because I thought it would be one of those silly masalathons I rarely enjoy and partly because I still recall that hugely overhyped debacle from the Director – ‘Blue’. More recently, it was great to see him act for a change in the very entertaining con flick ‘Special 26’. Having said that, let me also admit I immensely enjoyed the typically commercial no-brainer ‘Rowdy Rathore’. Barring a few (very few indeed) movies, I have often wondered to my dismay what it must be that draws hordes of audiences to watch his movies. I’m a little baffled with the superstardom of a few actors.
