butshav When you hear 'Akshay Kumar & John Abraham', you immediately recall their last hilarious movie, Garam Masala. I have heard many people say that Desi Boyz is Garam Masala 2. Really? NO. Desi Boyz does not fall into the same category as Garam Masala. Garam Masala was a fall-off-your-chair-laughing kind of movie. Desi Boyz is more of a masala with bit of romance and lots of comedy and drama. It can also be called a 'Dramedy' as Akshay states it. How good is Desi Boyz then? It is awesome. Jerry and Nick live together and share everything besides responsibility, rent and Nick's girlfriend. Jerry doesn't care about anything and lives on his friend's money. They have fun with their way of life when........... Recession hits. Both Nick and Jerry lose their jobs. While Nick wants to fulfill his girlfriend's dreams, Jerry wants to keep his nephew, Veer. Both of them are left with no choice but eventually become male escorts. This movie was given an 'A' (only adults) rating but it didn't deserve it. It is not cheap or vulgar and doesn't even have a kiss scene. The songs are very good with 'Desi Boyz Title Track' and 'Subha Hone Na De' being the pick of the lots. Direction is good. Dialogues are good and fun to listen. Coming to performances............ Akshay Kumar rocks in this movie big time. While Patiala House proved that he is indeed a great actor, Desi Boyz does prove it too as he handled the comic and dramatic scenes perfectly. This movie surely marks him back in the public's heart. John Abraham is good and acts well. Deepika and Chitrangda are good and so is Anupam Kher although he could have been used more. On the whole, Desi Boyz is a fresh movie. Fresh pairings, débutant director and a unique plot.
Chrysanthepop Rohit Dhawan's 'Desi Boyz' is pretty much another typical retarded Akshay Kumar comedy that is set in London. Obviously Dhawan and his producers are ashamed of India that they had to film in rich Europe. Anyway, here's how the 'story' goes. Jerry (Akshay Kumar), whose original name is Jignesh but he's so ashamed of his Indian background that he replaces it with the name of one of the most famous mice is a dropout who gets fired from every job that he lands. Money is scarce and he has to face a social worker who threatens to dump his annoying oh-look-how-cute-I-am orphan nephew at some foster parents's dwelling.Then there's Nick who recently gets let go of work. He's too proud to do any job that's below his qualification and would rather work as a stripper (but that's for later). His rich spoilt brat girlfriend (Deepika Padukone) thinks that people can't live on chicken role. Anyway, since Nick's too proud to accept a typist's job and desperately wants to shower his irritating girlfriend with lavish wedding, honeymoon and whatever nonsense, Dhawan portrays how desperate he is. So sad! (puke) Anyway, fastforward...a closeted pimp (Sanjay Dutt) invites them to his den. One thing leads to another and Nick becomes a stripper while Rocco, I mean, Jerry, becomes a harlot. They continue to screw around and eventually Nick's bimbo (Padukone) finds out and breaks off the engagement. Nick cries like an idiot and tries to justify his striptease to his fiancée. He also breaks up with Jerry.Rocco, I mean, Jerry, loses his annoying nephew to some foster parents and apparently he's earned enough money from prostitution to pay tuition and room and bored for Trinity College. It's amazing how a dropout can get accepted to an established college so easily. In Trinity College there also happens to be an openly racist professor whom no one seems to complain about. There he meets a hot professor (A sensational Chitrangda Singh) who helps him pass his exam and graduate. She really is hot.Fastforward...Nick and Jerry become friends again...fast forward...there's a trial in the end to discuss whether the kid should stay with foster parents or with Rocco, I mean Jerry. The trial also proves that all men in the movie, except for the two ex-strippers, are homosexuals. Jerry attempts to explain his prostitution. Now will he get the kid? (Dramatic music).Oh, and amidst all this nonsense, there are some atrociously bad songs that are visualized like amateur wannabe MTV videos. The non-Indian cast is dreadful as is John Abraham. Akshay Kumar plays the usual comedic role he's played in almost every movie of the last 10 years. Deepika Padukone is okay at best. Chitrangda Singh oozes hotness. Too bad her role is so cut short. Writing, direction, sound effects, editing etc are terrible.
rahinfinity Great movie Finally akshay and jhonny boy are back together...good to see them .. acting throughout the movie is very good ...akshay kumar is very good in this movie & also his paring with chitrangada singh ,jhon is back with same acting but over all a good act & looks great in this movie.i was waiting to see this movie finally was able to make it ... and must say that loved every movement of it,A must watch if u can relate your self with the story,which i was able to match up with akshay's life in the movie.. have to say the songs play a very very big part of the movie as well ... the emotional scenes in the movie was directed very well ..and was touching ..finally, the child and akshay share a good chemistry which makes u cry at some sences...must watch not only for time pass but also to enjoy and take home sweet memories of the movie ..... loved it !!!
superindrajit Akshay Kumar after Singh Is King in 2008 gave only flops until Housefull 2010 and De Dana Dan 2010 and his flop streak continued until now where we come to Desi Boyz his comeback. The movie has a plot based on a true story which happened in UK, based on the recession problem. Akshay and John are leading good lives until the ression starts to bite and they become jobless. They become strippers to earn money and when John's girlfriend finds out, she dumps him. The movie carries on and ends with a happy one. The movie is filled with comedy which is well executed, Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt steal the show, even Omi Vaidya the guy from three idiots did well. The end courtroom drama was a bit silly yet still entertaining. The music is really good, Make Some Noise for the Desi Boyz, Subha Hone Na De, and Jhak Mar Ke are really awesome. Acting is good, Akshay doesn't do loud comedy like he did in duds like Tees Maar Khan. Overall, a masala movie which good and entertaining, this movie will definitely be a box office hit.
