Desi Boyz My Views


1.Its nothing like Garam Masala. Its a Dramedy. First half goes ok, but comedy is less or underplayed.People looking for big laughs every few seconds will be disappointed. In the whole movie, audience(7 people) laughed like total of 10-12 times.(low for a comedy….). Can be classified under light hearted comedy etc.

2.Masala Quotient is close to Zero.Have no idea how Single Screens will react, but they wont find great things for themselves.

3.Point to the interval and 30 mins after that are fine too with some good laugh moments, but last 2 sequences of finishing the movie are somewhat a drag. There is lack of urgency and predictability in last quarter of the movie….

4. I havent seen 9 out of 10 last Akki movies(only Housefull i saw which i liked), but in most of those OTT and Loud(sometimes offensive)comedy was the constant complaint, those people wont find that complaint here…

5. Visual are great and Songs are very good. Thats major attraction points. It just looks like a big Multiplex movie, the presentation is Grand.

I cant do critical analsyis of movies nor am i good BO predictor.I see so few movies that my judgement can be rusty. Some of the movies i didn’t like that much did big business(IHLS,Race,SIK,Dabangg etc) and i liked Anjaana Anjaani which flopped.

I hope the movie is a success, as otherwise Akki will get great bashing again, but i doubt the movie will be the Hit he is looking for. By Hit business i mean a Nett of 80+ cr etc.

Spoiler Alert!

Just giving some spoilers to confirm i indeed saw the movie:

Leave Page…(though its no mystery etc)

1. Akshay has a nephew whose mother and father have died, the last sequence is the court case for his custody only…
2. Akshay goes back to school after 12 years…
3. The Male Escort part ends in the first half only… Akshay goes to school and John tries to get Deepika back,in the second half.

End of Spoilers.

When i saw Housefull i was alone in the whole theatre, for Desi Boyz also i was alone in theatre, until a group of 5 Middle Aged Women and the Owner of the Theatre joined me.

I should add that i saw it in USA and early evening Friday shows have low attendance only.

Also Akki was good in some emotional scenes he got to do.

    Doga, Thanks for the early review. These days it is very difficult to predict the mood of the audience. All the movies I have liked this year have either flopped or done average business. And the ones I didn’t like have gone on to become big hits.

    PS. Your watching the movie alone in a big theatre reminded me of the song from Sharaabhi where Amitabh Bachchan booked the entire theatre to watch Jaya Prada’s dance performance alone :)

    Just came back after watching the movie too..dont worry doga, i believe u that u watched the movie..lol
    Doga, where do you live in States?

    It was a light hearted movie…good timepasss
    audience seemed to enjoyed the movie..
    i kinda liked it..
    i agree with how will single screens react?
    Chitrangda was smoking in the movie.

    Filmein shilemein song was quite good too in the back ground..
    From Akshay to john to deepika to anupam kher to kid were all good.

    overall, it was a good timepass light hearted movie….
    getting a feeling that audience in india will like it..
    above all rohit dhawan starts his direction on a good note…
    looking forward to him..
    There were sum pretty good one liners..

    I felt I am reading mouthshut product analysis.

    Would like to know

    Whether there are loud comedy scenes?
    Too many over the top jokes?
    How many times you dozed off?

    If the answers are no, then the movie may be quite good.

    And something more about those middle aged ladies.

    I agree@sid007……only disagreement is..in india people will like it…
    although i want d movie to be a big hit..but franklly it will surprise only few detractors of akshay who think hez finished..its a better fare than his earlier offerings but when compared to the raised bar of masala entertainers this season,the movie falls flat..my prediction..30-32 cr weekend..monday onwards their will be a big fall..and the movie wont be able to double its first weekend numbers…at the most a semi hit or average..

    smilesandlaffs , i am no expert in US based comedy shows like Friends and Sienfield etc, nor i like them or am fan but Desi Boyz seemed like them…

    There were no crude jokes etc that i can recollect.

    There was some skin show, as expected, by both Genders, but not as such uncomfortable scenes.

    The Middle Aged Women might have come to see whats was only display – DESI BOYZ !!!

    Fair review. BTW as movie has already released in Dubai I checked Gulf news review surprisingly its a 4/5 which is a bit too much for Akki Movie as he never gets more than 2 even from Gulf news.

    @Doga Nice short review! and LOL on you showing evidence to prove that you indeed saw the film..I dont think so there is anyone who will not believe you afterall you are one of the senior and rational members of NG. :)

    Anyways tell me why Akshay goes to School after 12years in the film ? :D

    So its drama more than comedy, what would that be negative?? Akki has couple films like RR, OUATIM2 coming out which will be serious character, this only helps to experience himself in serious acting.

    Desi Boyz, got A certificate due to Theme, not due to any scene…

    Desi Boyz got an A certificate not due to its content but ‘cos kids shouldn’t be subjected to Akshay Kumar.

    “Also Akki was good in some emotional scenes he got to do.”

    was going thru old posts to get naved and milind’s post and came across this .. u r very right the transition from comic scene to emotional is very natural and good
