TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

indigshai-1 When will Indian movie makers learn to give up copying foreign plots?? This is a lift of "Nine Queens" an excellent Latino film I had seen some years back. I guess the writer / director had one thing in mind "how to get a 1:30 Hr film to be a 2:10 Hr film", for that they arbitrarily threw in songs and boring plots and scenes. Boman for e.g. when explaining to Abhishek to live life the fullest is rather a drag. Everything from story, theme and camera movement are copied and does not suit the movie or the actors at all. I hear this movie is a box office success - ah well that goes to show what formula works for Indian cinema. This is only going to prompt other Indian directors and producers to attempt copies. So when Indian cinema takes 1 step forward (Rang De Basante) it is also thrown back 10 steps by movie attempt such as this one!

M Roy Roy Kapoor (Bachchan) is a career conman who excels in running the "perfect scam". He's in love with Simmi (Chopra) who he's been dating for 6 months and they're getting engaged. Unfortunately at their lavish engagement party, one of his most recent cons comes back to bite him on the proverbial when the victim turns out to be Simmi's uncle! Simmi had no idea her fiancé was a conman (she thought he was a stockbroker) and BOOM! The engagement is broken off and Simmi tells Roy that she wants nothing more to do with him. Six months later, a forlorn Roy still wanders around like a lovesick puppy and comes across Dittu (Deshmukh) another conman but rather new to the game who's pulling off a con with a doctor (Irani). Dittu and colleague drop a banger and Dittu grabs the doctor and he falls to the floor thinking he's been shot, Dittu calls an "ambulance" but in reality they're out to steal whatever they can from the doctor. Roy "rescues" the doctor and in return the doctor gives him some well meaning advice, and in the process they discover that Roy has a brain tumour and only has 3 months to live. Simmi gets engaged to another man, Dittu keeps hounding Roy to mentor him as he wants to be as good at conning people as Roy for been for so many years and he wants to avenge his father's downfall at the hands of another conman Chandru (Patekar), who is somewhat of a gangster too.The cons at the start and climax of the film were pretty brilliant and you really don't see the end one coming, so it is quite a surprise. I think it was very cleverly done but I'm guessing there's a Hollywood film out there with a similar storyline which has been copied because I'm pretty sure Bollywood didn't come up with this idea! If I'm doing Bollywood an injustice in that comment then I'd be the first to hold up my hand and admit I made a mistake.The film itself is reminiscent of the Michael Douglas starrer The Game but don't be fooled into thinking it's a direct copy... It isn't!All in all Bluffmaster gets a high 9 out of 10 from me. I'd recommend fans of comedy and/or con capers give this a watch. It's a slick fast-paced film with lots of eye candy for both the male and female audience with some good laughs thrown in along the way.

Sherazade Instead of spending all their budget on Priyanka Chopra's wardrobe, they should have invested it in developing the script further, or at least do justice to the many Hollywood films they ripped off to make this FLUFF-master!Abhishek Bachchan stars here as Roy, the ultimate Bluffmater (Bollyspeak for Con man or swindler), he can con his way out or into any situation but he does one too many when he cons a man picking up bounty money and the man later shows up at his (Roy's) wedding engagement to Priyanka Chopra's character. The wedding is off when the bride's family finds out about the nature of Roy profession and it's downhill from there. Roy tries to win his lover back but to no apparent avail. To add insult to injury, he is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and given three months to live. Or is he?The only person worth watching in this film is Nana Patekar who never fails to deliver, even in a film as dreary and as over-hyped as this one! I only saw this film because of Abhi and the hit song Right here right now, and even Abhi wasn't enough to help me forget how mediocre the whole ride was. And to think that Priyanka Chopra bragged about her performance in this film. "For every Umrao Jaan I have lost, I have gained a Bluffmaster" No you haven't Chicka! No you haven't!

Zeya B Abhishek has come a long way. He can dance, sing, act, and entertain. If you have seen Michael Douglas starred "The Game" you will see the inspiration part and truly well inspired and not copied!The movie is very well made. Song and dance are well timed and consumed well in the movie. Interestingly, some of the background music is remixed old songs, which makes it really fun without mediocrity. The movie is not cheap and very well finished even though it has a lot of tapori factor to it, executed with class. Abhishek's rap is awesome, he has done it in style and he can do it.Actors are utilized very well and have done excellent justice to their character. Nana Patekar is hilarious especially in the end. Priyanka is beautiful and delivered her acting very well. One of the most interesting characters is that of Omar, he must have about 10 lines of dialog in the entire movie of which 2 you will hear completely rest are all beeped! In fact, as he appears on the screen the beep starts in a very hilarious way.On the whole I recommend this movie with no second doubts.
