Desi Boyz: Movie Banayi Jhakk Maar Ke 2/10

First things first, I was not planning to watch it but was bored at the weekend and to be honest, the songs were pretty catchy. I reached the hall 10 minutes late and was bored to death in the next 10. Spent the next hour and a half in hope that it would become 'less worse' but it didn't. The movie offers nothing more than the usual NRI movies with bright colors in the background, nice fashionable clothes, a song or two to hum along and... That's about it I guess. One Line Story. Pathetic Script. Stupid and Corny Dialogues. No sense of Direction or performance. Overall, a BAD BAD film. Don't watch it. Download the songs and enjoy in your car Instead. 2/10

The movie is about 2 friends who don't have or lost their job due to recession. They take up a job as male escorts. The girlfriend of one finds out and 30% of the movie is spent in his stupid antics to woo her back. Another 30% is wasted in the other friend's 'Let's Go Back to College and complete my education' pursuit. Yes, That's it. Nothing else. No twists or turns. Nothing Interesting. Just a flat story.

To be honest, i am too bored to even criticize the movie. Its actually a futile exercise to even write a review about a movie that bad. I mean, if the movie is actually THIS bad then how do you even motivate yourself to write about it. Anyways, Both John and Akshay ham their way through the movie and they suck at it too. Dear Akshay, I can't seem to remember a movie after Hera Pheri where you were funny, So let's just stick to Action Please. And John, Why can't you just stick to being a model or a WWE Wrestler perhaps. Chitrangada tries to look hot but she doesn't come across as the 'hot' types. She is the pretty one. Deepika, Let's just not talk about her. She is just the same as in all other movies. Unnoticeable . Anupam Kher, Well yes, he is there and i am sure he still has no idea what he was doing in the movie.

The Script seems stretched even for its 2 hour length. Can you imagine, the director even lifted a sequence from 'Funny Advertisements' videos on youtube!! I mean seriously? Get a Life Dude.. Since there was nothing to offer in the script or in narration, the director infact introduces 2-3 characters for no apparent reason just to stretch the movie to its minimum bollywood length of 2 hours. But i guess he needs to understand that KJO-NRI genre is not only about  Introducting Bright Red/Yellow/Blue/Greens in the backgrounds or in the lead actor/actress' dresses. Oh wait, may be it is. Nevermind. 

On the Good front, well a couple of songs are hummable/danceable. And... Well, that's about it i guess. There is nothing else that i remember i guess. Oh yes, The End Credits were entertaining too. But to reach there you will have to go through the 2 hour ordeal. So not worth it i tell you.

Overall: A BAD movie. Period. Don't Watch it

Feel-O-Meter: 2/10
