Approximately two hour long, Rohit Dhawan’s ‘Desi Boyz’ is not a bad bet this weekend as its fun, pacey and entertaining. It’s got all the ingredients of success, a good star-cast, correct balance of emotions and humour and is visually appealing giving a complete cinematic experience to an average cine goer. Story:
The film is plotted in 2009 when recession had just hit the world. Jignesh Patel aka Jerrry (Akshay Kumar) and Nikhil Mathur aka Nick (John Abraham), best friends since 15 years, lose their job and even after trying hard cannot get any job. They meet Sanjay Dutt who runs a Male escorts agency called ‘Desi Boyz’ and on Jerry’s insistence the duo take up the job. But they lose their dignity because of which Jerry loses his son Veer and Nick loses his lady love Radhika. The rest of the story is how they make things alright and get back whatever they have lost.
Analysis:
The film starts on the very promising note with Dhawan taking care of all the relevant details. It progresses in an even better manner leaving a lot of smiles on your face. The second half does get dragged when Jerry joins college, there could have been a better way to take it forward. The climax again paces up giving it momentum and a good end. However, a scene when Jerry applies a technique to get a job is lifted from a video that was doing rounds of social networking sites for long.
Performances:
Akshay Kumar acts well. His performance at times looks monotonous, something like we saw in ‘Houseful’ but he is makes it up with his natural comic timing. John Abraham has enriched his acting prowess. His expressions look made-up at places but his improved dance moves make up for them. Deepika Padukone is her usual self and looks quite hot. Chitrangada Singh’s commercial debut will prove to be quite fruitful for her. She looks hot though she could have been presented in a better and more powerful role. Anupam Kher is pleasant while Omi Vaidya is an entertaining addition. Sanjay Dutt charms. Bruna Abdullah looks okay but cannot dance, there are better item girls available on the block. The kid who plays Jerry’s son is super cute and is a good actor too.
Technicalities:
The best thing about the film is that its tightly packaged and is just about two hours long. The background score is good. Shot in UK, the film can boast of good cinematography. Rohit Dhawan directs good for a debut and is here to stay. Music is decent enough with Mika’s ‘You’re my hero’ standing out.
Plus points:
- Pacey,
- Good music
- Entertaining
Minus Points:
- A few scenes lack originality
Final Word: An entertaining watch.
