Desi Boyz - Movie Review

Desi Boyz - Movie Review

After a disappointing SRK starrer Ra.One and a confusing musical love story Rockstar, here comes Desi Boyz. Bollywood seems to be knowing the audience well these days. A sci-fi, a musical and now a Comedy.

Desi boyz is directed by Debutant Rohit Dhawan, son of well known Director David Dhawan. David Dhawan is known for Comedy Entertainers. Desi Boyz is about two Indian born friends settled in UK Akshay Kumar (Jerry Patel ) and John Abhraham (Nick Mathur) and dates back to 2009 when there was Economic Slowdown. Akshay kumar who drops out of College ends up becoming a security Guard for a mall in UK and john Abhraham a Investment Banker after graduating from London School of Economics.

When Recession hits, both are rendered jobless. While Akshay kumar wants a steady Income to take care of his Orphaned Nephew, on the other hand john Abhraham wants to marry his girlfriend Deepika Padukone (Radhika) and meet her expectations of being a "Wont Say no" husband. While Deepika is away from London to meet her dad Anupam Kher in India Sanju Baba arrives and gives the unemployed an opportunity to work as Male escorts for his company called "Desi Boyz".

The Movie starts off with Recession as its headlines and little bit of laugh in the 1st half and gets emotional and stretchy in the 2nd half.

Its not New to see Akshay Kumar in comedy roles. John's acting is fake and makes you think if he is really fit to be an actor. John should have stopped himself with just ramp walking. Inclusion of John is purely because of the script which demands both these guys to be Male escorts.John suits the bill very well. Deepika padukone has carried herself very decently, no over acting seen. Chitrangada's inclusion in the movie was just to add a glamour quotient and a pair for Akshay Kumar.With Cat fight at its peak amoung top bombshells in Bollywood, casting someone alongside Deepika can only be an infamous good looking babe. With few films already in her kitty, Chitrangada was chosen . She is an Economic professor and a classmate who had a crush on Akshay Kumar 12 years back when they were actually students woos Akshay kumar who comes back to College to complete his graduation. Watching the movie will narrate why Akshay goes back to college. Its rather silly and you can see a blend of Main hoon na.



Anupam Kher with his witty dad image is seen here and there. Deepika and Chitrangada dont get to meet each other until the last few minutes.

Omi Vaidya (Chatur Ramalingam of 3 idiots fame) comes in as a interim boyfriend of Deepika and ofcourse prosecuting attorney, proves he can make people laugh.

Rohit Dhawan has delivered a movie which lacks substance. Comedy not taking the main stage i mean. Desi Boyz could have been crafted well if it had more characters in the movie. With bikini shows and liplock taking top priority in bollywood, Desi Boyz comes out as a surprise package with none of these in it.
