SonalSudeep If I take a look at Akshay Kumar's career graph over the past 5 years, most of his movies were ridiculous. I mean, I am still unable to understand why he chooses movies like Rowdy Rathore, Boss, Khiladi 786 when he can do a gem like Special 26. Boss has few good elements in it including the songs and some emotional scenes. But what obviously fails to impress is the storyline and some scientific scenes( mark here "scientific"- one where a plant starts growing with the mere sweat of Akshay Kumar). Story is as normal as it can get and predictable. Ronit Roy is the only feel good factor in this movie(not sure why he did not join movies earlier). Supporting cast including Mithun ,newcomer Shiv and Aditi Rao Hydari fail to make an impact. Overall, Boss is only for die hard Akshay fans and if you are that desperate to watch it, wait for it's satellite release.

rahuljonathan-nair BOSS is a clear departure from previous Akshay starrers , yet it has everything that spectators look for in masala fares in fact, BOSS is a fast-moving roller-coaster ride that gives you no time to think. It offers entertainment by the bucketful and celebrates the formula with panache. Director Anthony D'Souza who failed so miserably in "Blue", here rises out of the deep to deliver a full-blast rabble-rouser. Every moment in "Boss" is a celebration of cinematic conventions derived from decades of Bollywood entertainment. This is a fast-paced, zany, full-on masala fare. There is a tempting swagger to Akshay's performance matched by the narration's tidal tempo. Irresistible energy and endearing gusto underline the show's voracious appetite for a comic kill. On the whole, BOSS is a full-on masala entertainer that's very clear of its intent. It is designed to magnetize lovers of desi commercial cinema and woo the BO. If you savor and relish old-school masaledaar entertainers, BOSS is sure to win you over. Watch this one -- it's a paisa vasool entertainer! Ekdum fit hai, Boss!

Jasrick Johal BOSS is as Vidya Balan said in the Dirty Picture pure ENTERTAINMENT,ENTERTAINMENT and ENTERTAINMENT. Its a Akshay Kumar show all the way, he comes up with a Mindblowing performance and shows he is the baap of action and comedy in bollywood nobody comes even close!!! BOSS unlike other mindless rnasala entertainers has a story, the films is about a father son relationship, and how a brother protects his younger brother from a corrupt cop. Acting wise the ensemble cast of Shiv Pandit, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra impress. But the likes of Mithun Chakavarty, Danny Denzonpa give first rate amazing performances. Ronit Roy plays the villain and matches up to Akshay Kumar in the climax fight which by the way is a treat for action lovers. Ronit Roy is first rate. But of course as stated before Akshay Kumar walks away with all the praise, its a film for his fans for sure!!! Dir Anthony D Souza after blue flopping has hit the right notes with BOSS. He has made India's best action film, and keeps everyone entertained with great comedy and a good emotional touch. Overall if you want watch a good action comedy film, with the right dose of emotion, or if you want watch a great masala entertainer which is not mindless watch BOSS this eid. This one is a sure shot blockbuster which is made for AKSHAY KUMAR FANS!!!!

Tejas Nair The above summary is quoted from the review of Karan Anshuman of Mumbai Mirror because it makes sense...Pokkiri Raja was funny as heck, maybe because the cast portrayal was ridiculously humorous. On the Bolly-hand, BOSS IS ludicrous where nothing is logical or scientific, but for the sake of entertaining, it DOES deliver content.Also, the songs are catchy & full of beats. Just because the plot is too shabby for the even grotesque story idea, There is no need to blabber about how bad your expectations were thwarted, is there? We aren't expecting potential cinema from the makers either. Talking about the goodness, Ronit Roy's villainy demeanor is terrific and after his Udaan & Ugly, I am sure he is a busy man. I enjoyed watching him.Akshay Kumar, for the first time, looked old on-screen. But his stunts were really good, not to mention how gravity-defying they were (Maybe because Cuaron's Gravity was playing in the next screen). Danny Denzongpa is good as well. And well, the women in here are puppets, no doubt.Cinematography & editing is fine, direction is average. Humor has been worked out, but in an attempt to induce more, the writers lost the road. Some jokes are just too irritating, thereby making dramatic scenes into a mockery.BOTTOM LINE: Although not much in this makes sense, it was a cool- afternoon watch. Recommended for people who have know what they have in store. 5.5/10. It doesn't bore.Can be watched with a typical Indian family?
