Steineded How sad is this?

Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

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

indianature I usually enjoy Akshay Kumar's comedy roles, the last good one I saw was Khiladi 786. I bought the Boss DVD expecting a few good laughs.What a terrible disappointment and not surprising that it bombed at the box office. The entire movie has so much mindless violence that it is disgusting. There was hardly anything that was funny about it. Worse still to know that so many youth will ape the violent scenes just because it is depicted in the movie.This is definitely not for family viewing. Akshay ought to be ashamed of himself for doing such a violent movie.

Ajit Tiwari Akshay Kumar has taken an oath to laugh at his own one-liners, do mindless comedies, do gravity defying action scenes, some songs by Honey Singh and all other cheap techniques. Every Friday there is a movie like this, Actors, Directors and Producers or for that matter all the crew members are taking the ingredients from Masala Movie template and cashing the receipts of money. There is something seriously wrong with our Film Industry because they have many movies on the floors; they are merely interested in good cinema. Akshay Kumar has done a great job but he is gradually diminishing his own image.'Boss' (Akshay Kumar) who becomes a mobster serving jail in his childhood. His father (Mithun Chakraborty) has parted ways from him and doesn't want to see his face again. Surya's younger brother Shiv (Shiv Pandit) is in police custody due and ACP Ayushman Thakur (Ronit Roy) abhors him, as Shiv loves Ayushman's sister Ankita (Aditi Rao Hydari). No Boss has to save his brother because blood is thicker than water.It is a remake of Malayalam movie 'Pokkiri Raja 2010', which itself a very bad movie. The writing is absolutely absurd because many things come and go without any significance. Akshay Kumar enters the screen after 30 minutes and gets the he is the only person on the screen. Jokes and punches are lame, forced songs give screenplay a hard time to manage the narrative.Sanjay Mishra & Johnny Lever have been wasted completely. Mithun and Danny do what is required. Shiv and Aditi love track never impresses as they both look indifferent. Shiv Pandit has done an astounding Job is "Shaitan" and he should probably refrain from such roles.The show stealer is "Ronit Roy" as a menacing and ruthless ACP; he delivers the dialogs the perfect body language. He is the only thing which sticks in the mind.There are some of the scenes which make you laugh. Otherwise it is really a headache to hear the overdone dialogs and emotional scenes.Overall, it the same movie that comes every Friday with different actors and crew.

HIREN DAVE It's a good masala movie after a long time. basically, the movie is all about the relationship of father and son. After a long time this relationship is focused. It's overall paisa vasool movie. if you like this type of masala entertainment, you will enjoy a lot.songs, performance of the cast,dialogues,comedy and action are plus point of this movie.impressive performance by Ronit Roy. some innovative scenes like jogging truck and others are very good.Direction: Good. Music : Good. Story & screenplay: avg. Performance: Ronit - Roy best. Akshay - as usual good. Mithun, Denny - good. Shiv, Aditi - avg.

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?
