What should get the crowds in for BOSS...
1. Akshay Kumar looks dapper, has a nice sense of humour, and performs some beautiful action
2. Aditi Rao Hydari absolutely BURNS the screen with her bikini scene - never has a Bollywood actress pulled it off well
3. Ronit Roy in a very good bad cop act; perhaps the best villain in the movies since Jaikant Shikre
4. Some ridiculously funny scenes - plants growing out of BOSS's sweat (power ful!), a fight scene set to background music, the fight scene in the temple, with Akshay trying to hide it from his dad
5. A very well shot chase scene in the gallis and rooftops
6. Sona's item number
But does it work? Sadly, no. There were less than 20 people in the audi on the first weekend of the movie's release! (I wonder - would a great social media marketing strategy have brought in the crowds?)
Why?
1. Fatigue of the genre definitely kicking in - with Akshay belting out movie after movie with hardly anything to distinguish one from the other
2. Hamming by Mithun
3. Too much flash back
4. Listless sound track
5. Very little screen time for Aditi when in very little :)
So, should you watch it? Only if you want some mindless entertainment - and yes, feeel free to walk out half an hour from the end.
