    A Decent Akshay Kumar Entertainer

    Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK) Rating: 3/5 stars

    Harmless fun. Thankfully the fun is not numbed down by being all too brainless - just the sporadic instance here and there, mostly interspersed within the action scenes. Akshay Kumar enjoys himself in a role he can sleep through and he succeeds in involving the audience in his revelry. We even get to see him doing some real action and stunts after a long time.

    Shiv Pandit just passes muster, while Aditi Rao Hydari literally has nothing to do. Sadly Mithun forgot his acting chops at home, and Danny's acting chops are criminally underutilized. But above all, the real scene stealer from the very first frame he enters till the last is Ronit Roy, who essays his first complete negative role with sublime malevolence.

    Boss is a passable entertainer with raw-punching dialogues, commendable action scene and of course Akshaye Kumar ruling the roost

    The sad news is that every Bollywood cinema like Besharam, Phata Poster Nikla Hero, Policegiri are following the trend of 80's potboilers which comprised of action, melodrama , routine song and dance. The good news is Boos , though falls into same genre, is a passable entertainer with raw-punching dialogues, commendable action scene and of course Akshaye Kumar.

    Boss ( Akshaye Kumar) is a fearless and heart-of-gold goonda who gets the contract to bump off a college going innocent chap Shiv( Shiv Pandit) in love with a gruesome police-office's sister. Coincidently, Shiv turns out to be younger brother of Boss who was estranged from him when his father ( Mithun Chakrborty) disowned him as a child.

    From terrible attempt BLUE , Anthony D'Souza comes back with a popcorn masala entertainment which had nothing new to offer in terms of direction and screenplay yet can be enjoyable in parts. These kind of cinemas generally does not have moral story and sense but they do have section of audience who loves to whistle to introduction scene of their hero, clap to the item songs and shout as their hero punches the villain. Similarly, Boss has everything going in its favor. The humongous entry by Akshay Kumar arriving with ten trucks, the brilliant fight sequence captured in slow motion ( though sometimes larger-than- life),the father-son melodrama summarizes Boss, few comic relief by Akshay Kumar and good songs with "Party All Night" being pick of the lot. Boss completely belongs to Akshay Kumar and the actor does not leave any stone unturned. He gives his best and proves his mettle with good performance. Ronit Roy is superb as rude and heartless cop. Danny and Mithun are just fine.

    Overall, Boss is a complete masala package with Akshay Kumar ruling the roost. Good 3/5

    its a dramatic action movie

    the movie has lots of action scene which are excellent only and acting by all characters are amazing specially ronit roy and akshay kumar.when you see ronit roy you actually found that you hate ronit in this movie great job by him.when you see the movie you see lots of turning point and corners which are amazing. the movie show the loves for father which is very good point. when you see the when you never think for story in your mind it did not give time for it as the right song comes at right time which makes the movie more enjoyable, its the best dramatic action movie of the year. when i comes out i m only saying that it is the paisa vasool movie because it is,so never think about the movie go and watch it you love the movie.

    overall masala entertainment.

    It's a good masala movie after a long time. basically, the movie is all about the relationship of father and son. After a long time this relationship is focused. It's overall paisa vasool movie. if you like this type of masala entertainment, you will enjoy a lot.songs, performance of the cast,dialogues,comedy and action are plus point of this movie.impressive performance by Ronit Roy. some innovative scenes like jogging truck and others are very good.

    Direction: Good. Music : Good. Story & screenplay: avg. Performance: Ronit - Roy best. Akshay - as usual good. Mithun, Denny - good. Shiv, Aditi - avg.

    boss is always right

    This one surely needs to be watched as it was a fun.I know it was a bit of mindless but an throughly enjoyable movie that banks on quite a few departments. akshay is the protagonist here and he does full justice 2 the character.he is funny and his dialogue delivery is better.ronit roy is antagonist and got to be appreciated because he really suited this role.others are fine. music is really good. story wise it might be an average flick but performances gave it great support.it's not great film but a time pass movie which can be definitely enjoyed with the family and lastly action scenes are attention seeker. bottom line- watch it for akshay ,ronit and for an entertainer.
