Desi boyz is a light "comedy romance drama" film with urban touch. Nearly 10 years but film still looks fresh.
As a debut movie of Rohit Dhawan it was a decent attempt. Movie never bores and it is lavishly shot. Comedy and romance are handled well. There are some places where direction is lacking in dramatic scenes but mostly the story is handled well.
Acting : Akshay gets a tailor made role as Jerry aka Rocco. He looks cool. Nice one liners in his kitty. Superb comedy by him. John as Nick aka Hunter looked dashing. He looked natural in romance. Deepika looks beautiful and acted well. Chitrangada looks stunning and played her role well. Anupam Kher was nice in his typical comic role. Sanjay Dutt in his extended cameo did pretty good job. Omi Vaidya is given a cartoonish role still he is funny because of his accent. Mohnish Behl had a small role nothing much to do. Virej Dasani as Veer was cute in his role.
Best part of the film were it's songs. A chartbuster album. What an album it was!!
Superb music by Pritam. Personal favourite is Allah Maaf Kare by Sonu Nigam.
Chemistry between the 2 lead pairs is amazing. Songs lifted the mood of this movie.
Camerawork, locations and costumes were superb.
It had some flaws. The humour became slapstick at some places which it didn't fit well and sometimes it fell flat too. Due to over urbanish treatment at some places, sometimes characters looked fake and not grounded according to the situation. The male escort plot was explored less which was expected from the title.
Overall it's an entertaining film with a simple story. Still wondering why was it was rated with 'A' certificate.

Before going into the theater,I didn't expect much because the trailer seemed senseless and... since Akshay's previous scores were terrible in Action Replayy,Tees Maar Khan,Patiala House and Thank You,I remained hopeless. But WOW.The movie was more like a surprise. The chemistry between Akshay and John is excellent.Jokes were hilarious.Some flaws in directing.
Concerning music,Pritam builds up a good tempo in 'Make some noise for Desi Boyz' and carries the fun promisingly with Jhak Maar Ke and Tu Mera Hero with an all-together new breed and genre of music.
The whole movie is a laughter pack for everyone and it is one of the best comedies of 2011.
Don't miss this,Highly Recommended !

At last akshay kumar got it right :) after series of awful movies (except patiala house) i had lost hope on him but what a nice way to come back with a bang :) Story and Direction - Story is not novel but direction by rohit dhawan is good considering it is his first movie. He has bright future as director.
Performances - Akshay Kumar rocks man ! He has performed exceedingly well - comedy he does good as usual but it is emotional scenes - the one with child where he showcases his ability as actor ! John Abraham does well - although he need to improve his dancing skills which was ordinary ! Deepika Padukone was also good ! Chitrangda strikes in small role ! Anupam Kher was good ! Sanjay Dutt was show stealer - he was brilliant in his cameo ! The child who play Akshay's nephew was cute and did well ! Omi Vaidya irritates a lot ! Music - Music is highlight of the movie ! Desi Boyz title track and Allah Maaf kare are my favorites.
Cinematography was good (locales of UK were beautiful). Editing was good though they could have cut down the court scene in climax which was too lengthy and slightly irritating.
In Other Words, Desi Boyz is no classic but it is feel good movie - a nice entertainer 8/10.

it is a nice movie.Its has laughters,good songs,good storyline and a different concept.The story is bit predictable.Comedy from starting to the end.sanjay dutt's and akshay's acting was awesome.Anupam kher is good too. The story is different. But who wants a story in a comedy movie.
John and akshay's Basically movie is made for you to enjoy during the whole time. chemistry is too good.Akshay after a long time did good acting. the movie is about two best friends,who makes some mistakes,in the end they get themselves corrected.
Characters like omi vaidya,anupam kher,sanjay dutt added more interest to the movie.Didn't expected so much fun from the movie.
So,movie is definitely worth watching or i'll say its a must go for comedy lovers

DESI BOYZ: a good entertainer with a backdrop of financial recession with a mix of emotions,,,,,the first half will make you laugh while the second half is filled with emotions which is good to watch john played his role well while Akshay moved like mercury in his character,,,Deepika is good enough
the negative points of this movie is that it goes back in entertainment at few places the songs are not so good except for the title song and poor background music
Sanjay Dutt plays a good comical role
MY WORD: go for it and refresh yourself

- TriviaThe story of Akshay Kumar and his nephew is heavily influenced by the plot of Adam Sandler starrer Big Daddy. The scene in the beginning where he enters Nick Mathur's Birthday bash and the surprise gets wasted is a straight pick up from Big Daddy where Adam is shown to be a irritating slacker just like Akshay's character.
- Goofs(around 1 hour and 35 minutes) Nikhil Mathur finished talking to his ex-girlfriend. He should have walked towards the steps because that is where his guitar and dog were, but he was walking towards a dead end.
