BOLLYWOOD AAINA BOX OFFICE;
Story: Set in London, Desi Boyz as the title suggests, revolves around two friends Jignesh a.k.a Jerry (Akshay) a security guard and Nick (John) a banker. Life is like a bed roses for these two Desi Boyz as Nick can afford a lavish living for them, which also, makes him a reliable life partner for fiancée Radhika (Deepika). But, hell breaks loose as recession hits and they lose their respective jobs. But, it’s more miserable for Jerry as he is unable to take the responsibility of his nephew (Veer), the son of is late sister and brother-in-law, who eventually goes to a foster home. Post a regressive job search and in order to get Veer back in Jerry’s life, the duo turn into male escorts. Now, how will Radhika react to Nick’s reality, will Veer come back to Jerry’s life and how will Chitrangada’s character -Tanya spring up is the rest of the story.
Story Treatment: A shaky first half with a plot losing threads most of the times, Desi Boyz picks up post interval with a much needed pace. Barring Akshay Kumar, rest of the characters in the movie fall prey to poor characterisation. A confused Nick, is irritatingly shown to be always in two minds. Nevertheless, the perfect comic-timing between with Akshay-John, followed by sexiest ever chemistry between Akshay-Chitrangada makes Desi Boyz a spicy watch. What adds glee to this ‘desi tadka’ is Sanjay Dutt, who at times, does overshadow the leads with his ultra-powerful performance.
Star Cast: Akshay Kumar is back with the bang. He beautifully switches lanes from being an ultra-jovial to a sensitive guy. John Abraham springs up a surprise, as he is able to match up Akshay’s comic sensibilities. Thankfully, John is no more a stone faced actor, Deepika seems okay and she ends up winning quite a few hearts with her dimple-cheeked smile. Chitrangada Singh is a treat to watch, although adding some more dimensions to her character could have been a winner. Sanjay Dutt brightens up the screen with his hilarious act. Ditto for Anupam Kher and Omi Vaidya.
Direction: Rohit Dhawan, as a debutant director looks very promising. He is poles-apart from his father director David Dhawan as far as filmmaking is concerned. He doesn’t waste time in jumping from one plot to another with perfection, which is a rare quality and can't even be spotted in veteran filmmakers. He is in complete sync with his cinematographer, as the camera moves do most of the talking for the film.
Music/ Cinematography/ Dialogues/Editing: Music is rocking with title song Desi Boyz and party number Tu Mera Hero being complete winners. Cinematography, as mentioned earlier is worth noticing with some impressive angles which speak volume about emotions the director wants to depict. Dialogues complement the situations given in the movie. Editing is quite innovative with remarkable graphics.
3 Ups and 3 Downs: Honest performances, groovy music, fast-paced screenplay and great cinematography get a thumps up. A weak storyline, poor characterisation and a clumsy first half are the weak points.
On the whole, Desi Boyz is surely a one-time watch with Sanjay Dutt’s presence being the USP of the film.
