Boss Review

Cast: Akshay Kumar, Ronit Roy, Shiv Pandit, Aditi Rao Hydari, Mithun ChakrabortyDirection: Anthony D’SouzaGenre: ActionDuration: 2 hours 24 minutes
Story: Satyakanth Shastri (Mithun) is the righteous father, who adores his 'sanskari' younger son but disowns the elder, as he resorts to violence to fight injustice. They part ways and the ethical but short-tempered son grows up to become Boss (Akshay Kumar) - a contract killer who learns to laugh in the face of adversity. Do they reunite?
Review: 'Apne ko kya hai, apne ko toh bus paani nikalna hain' is Boss Akshay's punch line in the movie. If you rephrase it a little with 'Apne ko toh bus Akshay Kumar ka stunts dekhna hai', then Boss is a 'kick-ass' entertainer. After all, we all know who the Boss of action in Bollywood is.
A remake of 2010 Malayalam film, Pokkiri Raja, Boss is a formulaic action comedy. There are truckloads of stunts throughout and whatever falls in between constitutes the plot so don't expect logic. It seems the action was probably chalked out before and the 70's-like melodramatic story was inserted later as filler, which explains why most characters end up being silent spectators, once Akshay makes an entry. The very vicious ACP Ayushman Thakur (Ronit Roy, brilliant) in particular gets easily outplayed by our Haryanvi hero. The romantic track between Shiv Pandit and Aditi Rao Hydari is terribly inconsequential
