Bol Bachchan Review

Rohit Shetty, a name famous for churning out bigger and successful comedies, returns with his latest comic caper ‘Bol Bachchan’ is the movie that has been much in the air since quite a long time. Rohit Shetty follows the same tune that he is the King of entertainers. His combo with Ajay Devgn is appreciated and adored a lot and the masses approve it with gusto.
Films like WANTED, DABANGG, READY, BODYGUARD, ROWDY RATHORE and all of Rohit Shettys movies are examples of movies that not only entertained the masses, but were incredibly successful at the ticket window as well.
If you perceive carefully, you will come to know that most of our movies have, swiftly, tilted towards the local flavor all over again. It seems like ones watching the desi cinema of yore, albeit with a bigger canvas, better technique and of course, present-day stars

you will be familiar with the saying that lie don’t have a feet mean speaking lie can thrown you in a great trouble. But when a person lies to the most powerful man of Ranakpur, Prithviraj [Ajay Devgn], he makes sure that the person is in greatest trouble now.
Abbas [Abhishek Bachchan] is facing his financial problems which lead him to his well wisher, Shastris [Asrani] house in Ranakpur, where he comes down to having a proper job to take care of himself and his sister Sania [Asin]. Unfortunately Abbas falls prey to an indefinite situation which makes him lie about his name in front of the villagers in Ranakpur. This uncertain incident plays a very important twist in Abbass life. He lands up working as a supervisor with the lie hater Master. Destiny forces Abbas to perpetrate a series of lies in front of his lie-hater boss!

A single person acting as two different entities, Abbass topsy-turvy journey makes him lie and keep lying to his boss, who hates liars to the core. From here on starts the topsy-turvy journey of a single person acting as two different entities!

Though Rohit Shetty borrows the essence from Hrishikesh Mukherjees immensely likeable GOL MAAL, he twists and twirls the original premise to unrecognizable proportions.

BOL BACHCHAN works primarily thanks to the entertainment quotient and of course, the credible portrayals by its lead actors, especially Ajay and Abhishek. Ajay is super-efficient and, expectedly, his comic timing is unimpeachable. At the same time, Ajay allows Abhishek to take the lead as the film chiefly revolves around his character/s. And Abhishek do justice it. Though Abhishek has wowed spectators with wonderful performances in the past, the two characters in BOL BACHCHAN are sure to multiply his fan-following by leaps and bounds.
On the other hand, BOL BACHCHAN falters due to its erratic pacing at times. Besides, a few episodes try too hard to make you laugh, but the impact is missing. In fact, Rohit Shetty is known to pack so much in every sequence, but BOL BACHCHAN has a couple of loose ends that stand out. The culmination, for instance, couldve been better envisaged.

Riding high on the victory of four uninterrupted hits of his zany entertainers Rohit Shettys latest outing doesn fall in the predictable zone thanks to a well interconnected screenplay [Yunus Sajawal]. Though the graph of the film plunges faintly in the second hour, Rohit makes a film thats entertaining for the most part, keeping his target audience in mind. As a matter of fact, Rohit has absolute command over all factors and doesn allow the film to go out of hand at any moment.

With Himesh Reshammiya and Ajay-Atul at the helm, the music ought to be lilting. Chalao Na Nain and the title track filmed on Sr Bachchan and the principal leads are the pick of the lot. The DoP [Dudley] captures the colors vividly. In fact, I admire the way the camera moves zealously all through the action sequences. Action [Jai Singh Nijjar], like always, stands out in a Rohit Shetty film. The action stunts are also very desi, with goons and vehicles flying in the air most of the time, something which sends the masses into raptures. Dialogues [Farhad-Sajid] are amusing, humorous and witty, very much in sync with the mood of the film.

What makes Ajay stand out are two factors -- his desirability to speak in English language, besides the fact that he plays a toughie who is also a comical chap, thus adding a lot of zing to the character. Hes first-rate! Abhishek goes all out, playing to the gallery, wooing the masses. Abhishek seems to have unlearnt what he had learned and implemented this new style of comedy, which mustve been very complex and challenging for him. Watch him in the dance act at the interval point. Its incredible. Abhishek gets the two characters right and how!

Asin does well, though her screen time is limited. Nonetheless, her likable looks and stimulating smile add to her charisma. Prachi Desai is striking, getting ample opportunity to show her talent. Krushna Abhishek is supremely talented and its unmistakably obvious in this movie. His comic timing is perfect. Neeraj Vora is superb.
Although Rohit is a master of comedies, but this film tries hard at some places to making the laughs and there are many junctions where the film shows comic situation but you do not find any rib-tickling comedy to enjoy with. Even at many places, the film loses the pace and turns out to be inconsistent.
But there are really funny scenes where you cannot help holding your belly and burst into bigger laughs such as Abhishek Bachchan’s dance on famous Hindi songs, Ajay Devgn’s obsession with speaking broken English and funny one-liners, etc.
On the whole, Bol Bachchan delivers entertainment in huge dollops. For that, it will earn the love of the paying public and will have a successful run at the box-office.
