if u r looking for a nice lighthearted, young, and peppy movie with hip music, this is the one for u... basically out and out comedy with takes a different route halfway thru the movie but catches on with a bang with a twist in the end of the movie! every single frame is like a music video with catchy tunes and remixes!

abhishek is well, just his funky self... contrary to popular belief nothing inherited from bunty n babli, ritesh is cute and very funny and priyanka is OK.. nana patekar has never done so well a comedy film (hey wait, i don't think he had any comedy movies before.. but now he should do more!) and the music is simply... hippy!! thank god the songs r not forcefully placed in between the movies but tastefully done with the whole retro theme of the movie.. not everyone can use this retro theme so well in their movies. I loved it...

Bluffmaster is a delightful movie. The dialogues are crisp and far above average from Hindi film sentimentality. Abhishek Bachhan is a natural and I do believe that he is a far better actor than his very popular father. His Hindustani diction is leaps and bounds better than all the Khans combined. Nana Patekar is at his comic best as his sinister character belies the poet at heart. I was able to tolerate Priyanka Chopra in this movie, far better than the Barbie character she plays in Krrish. Boman Irani is funny.

I do believe that much of the film is a mish-mash of lifts from western films of the genre and even some of the dialogues are plagiarized. But the Hindustani play on metaphors and aphorisms is what makes this movie so very fun to watch. The English subtitles do little justice to the rich dialogue in Hindustani.

The songs are a wonderful blend of Hinglish.

A conman to the core who loves taking lethal risks for the joyride and the money finds it difficult to mend his ways after his lover finds about his reality. A rookie thief who bumps into the con-master, begs him to teach him the tricks of the trade and becomes his sidekick. What follows then is fun, adventure and a dangerous mission. You have to pay special attention to the events, characters and their dialogs. This is because all things have unapparent significance. Bluffmaster is shot entirely in Mumbai and surprisingly makes it look good. Abhishek is definitely matured and Ritesh is good fun. Actress Priyanka looks great and acts just right, nothing overdone. A thriller with a cool attitude and good music that keeps you glued till the end. Smart one liners, good aesthetics, pacey storytelling make this an offbeat bollywood flick. If you like good movies , don't miss this one. And yes the end makes sense.

Bluffmaster – Right Here, Right Now! Indian cinema finally comes of age! Actors living their parts, and not merely acting , the film maker who is not just telling a story but just portraying a honest , brutal reflection of our times. Instantly recognizable characterizations and everyday situations which one can relate to. Mind blowing performances and a directorial masterstroke! Chartering unexplored horizons, the movie has upped the standard for Bollywood forever.

OK, that was the "Bluff "portion of the review! Bluffmaster is nothing close to what is written in the first paragraph. And the best part is it doesn't pretend or even attempt to be! That I guess is what makes Bluffmaster work! A movie where the maker and the actors don't take themselves too seriously and one in which they are having a blast and hoping that the audience would join them in doing so! Yeah, the plot is nothing earth shattering in itself. But the casting, performances, the dialogues (cant remember the last Hindi movie which had such witty one-liners), and the zany soundtrack with the remixes elevate the proceedings to a great extent.

The obvious scene stealer in the movie is Nana Patekar. Often accused of being stereotypical with his penchant for mouthing heavy duty dialogues , Nana does a complete u – turn , with his over the top, narcissist portrayal of the " Chuna " factory don who no one ever dreams of messing up with .He gets the best lines in the movies ( his intro scene , when he denounces Priyanka and Abhishek , his lap top , why his image has taken a beating etc). You just need to watch "Apaharan " to put to rest any debate on this mans versatility .

Booman Irani is the kind who makes even the most mundane role look interesting and delivers his part to the T. The surprise packet of the movie is Ritiesh D. Clowning comes almost naturally to him given his looks, but he handles it without going overboard or being loud. The good old adage of loud is funny is thrown out of the window and the escapades of duo (Abhishek and him) are truly funny.

And yes Aby Baby delivers. It almost seems that entire nation has been waiting for Abhishek to work! In the last few movies (Yuva, Bunty, Sarkar) Abhishek evolution as an actor can be seen and in a mad cap movie like this he even brings a touch of vulnerability to his character. He emotes , cries , gets drunk , does the " Dus Bahane " dance step to perfection , sports a stubble, a swagger and wears an unbuttoned shirt to claim the title of the official " Cool Dude " ! Priyanka doesn't have nothing much to do and thankfully for that. Himman Dhamija captures Mumbai in all its splendor, the by lanes and the skyline lending itself to the screenplay. Further the technical finesse which is becoming more the norm in Bollywood movies today is pretty much evident.

The movie does have its share of flaws -the romantic interludes drag on, caricaturist, simplistic con games and the utter detachment you may experience. Tongue in cheek, cocky and ultra cool, this spoofy caper deserves a watch! You know you are being taken for a ride, just sit back and enjoy it!

If you have liked Bluffmaster for its "different storyline" heme... this movie is based on a Hollywood film called 'The Game.' In fact I feel the reason why the movie is called Bluffmaster is not Abhisheks profession in the film, but bcos of the movie itself. You will know what I mean once you see it for yourself. overall the movie is good. It is entertaining, and the dialougues, script and screenplay is good. The characters too have been developed well. The one thing about the film which struck me is its international look. Not only does it have a different style of editing (like the cuts, the fade-outs or the character introductions) but also the songs are mostly Jay-Z-ish. Unnecessary songs, but good nonetheless. Watch it if you are looking for a movie to pass your time. It will leave you feeling good, mainly because everything turns out just fine...

Bluffmaster is one of the popcorn entertainers of the year with fun fast 2 hours, fine performances and of course its unique MUSIC. I did enjoy it than any other comedies last year except No entry which was also hilarious. What makes it different is it handled every aspect with equal importance. Whether it is Drama, Comedy, Music or of course Love. Surprisingly what I loved most after its Music is its Luv Estory Part. There is a scene when Roy (Abhishek) telling Sim (Priyanka- Hot in 'Come to me' number) about love affairs –"Biggest lie in this world is – I LOVE U- Jaise Time Bitata Hai LOVE Nikal Jaata Hai and only left behind is I n U". Then she argues over this as on same basis when Roy proposed her with same line if it was a lie. Watch Abhishek's response- 'Vo such tha Sim. 'Vahi To Ek Sach Tha'. This is my favorite scene in movie.

As title suggests Roy(Abhishek) is bluffmaster looting (fishing in his language) and after making good money retired from the line and planning to settle with his girl-friend Sim(Priyanka). Which didn't work out as on engagement one of his tricked one shows up and leading to heart-break of Sim and blah blah. Roy is now longing for Sim making every possible effort to make her believe that he is changed. There is a very nice scene when he is sitting in the restaurant, ordering coffee after coffee that eventually persuades Sim to talk to him but she refuse to forgive him at any cost.

We meet various characters- Dittu(Ritesh) who is now getting trained by Roy as a favor- Now kahani me so called twist is Dr. Bhalerao (Boman) diagnosed Roy is suffering from some last stage Brain Tumor. He has only three months. Boman gives theory of life where he explains how we live for 30 years but Only 30 were memorable? So make these 90 days memorable and live for another 90 years kinda. Valid indeed. End of first half we are introduced to Chandu (Nana Patekar). Dittu is seeking revenge from Chandu and it can be possible only if Roy help him out. Well, Climax turns everything upside down but I find it is well come surprise ending.

On Downside it fails to keep high on certain sequences but not too long.

Talk about its Music-It is awesome- One of the best varied collections of songs the year. Both Original and Remixes are like hitting bull's-eye. Fantastically choreographed Right Here Right Now I can watch hundreds of times for sure. Same is with 'Bure Bure'. Both have topped pub and disco DJ lists to get crowd wild.

Bluffmaster wouldn't be same if casting would have been different and who is irreplaceable in all is Nana Patekar. He portrayed such a flamboyant character stealing scene after scene with cheesy one-liners. Favorite is "IMAGE!!!" and "Kis Liye? Picture Bahot Acchi Chal Rahi Hai..Parade Pe Fekane Hai". Nana is utilized here 100 % as Nana and dialogs have developed a vada-paav kinda relation. He is offered very best lines here and his colorful character never misses a bit. Rithesh, Boman and Priyanka made a well supporting cast. And Abhishek Bacchan who is getting better and better with every outing. Check out how cool he is in 'Right Here Right Now' number. Same in rain drunk scene, in Sim's Coffee shop scene.

Honestly I went this movie with no expectation but left hall Ekdum Paisav Vasool.

From the moment I left the theater up to now, I still haven't been able to figure what feeling this movie left me with. It has several good things to speak about and some..well not so good. AB's baby has come a long way from the refuge of the Big B and has cemented his space as a star in Bolywood. Nana Patekar gives a splendid performance and nothing less could be expected from him either. There is little of Priyanka Chopra that people have not seen and in this movie they see even less of her which is actually a good thing. Boman Irani is a great actor in general but this is a performance which he would do good to forget. The surprise package of this movie, though, is Rietesh D. He carries his part to the T as the stumbling silly and lost protégé. He does seem to have a strange kind of charm about him which is easily noticeable in this movie. What leaves me dumb-found is the movie in itself. It is funny in parts and serious in all the wrong places. You keep getting this feeling being in a warp zone of some kind and you keep leaving your stomach behind. This is not for the excitement but just an uneasy feeling which makes you shift in your seat time and again. Sometimes the story tries too hard and at other times it just seems to not want to try at all. For instance the some of the gags are a bit much and the romance between Simi and Roy just falls flat. You begin to wonder somewhere along weather it would have been OK to just buy the soundtrack (which BTW is awesome) and pass up the movie but just then it pulls itself together and there you have it. Rohan Sippy seems to manage the last bit somehow again going a bit too far but just enough to make sure he rakes in the mullah. Not really a waste of money or time but I would much rather have watched this movie at home on a DVD.

The twist at the end lifted an ordinary movie for me to something slightly better then average.

Pros: A couple of performances. Ritesh stole the show despite being underused. This guy hasn't looked back since Masti and is easily one of the best comedians in Bollywood today. Nana in his typical style owns every scene he's a part of(especially the climax). It's good to see him do something a little different. The look of the film is very 'Bombay' and I thought it gelled in perfectly with the subject matter.

Cons: The Abhshek-Priyanka relationship didn't do it for me at all. They look good physically, but that's all there is to it. Abhishek's fixation with her is puzzling throughout the movie. In one scene he's talking to her abt not doing his thing anymore because he "loves" her, but we know that's a flat out lie. Makes AB's already confusing feelings for her look even weaker. His character in fact is very contradictory for the majority of the story. Tough to see his motivation for the stuff he does. AB Jr. gives a fairly good performance(if a bit dull), but I would prefer the leading character of any movie to have some likable traits and Roy doesn't really have 'em. This matters because the people AB's conning are GOOD guys, so why exactly should we like this guy or even root for him? He struck me as a real jerk.

Priyanka's acting is strictly OK and even her appearance isn't what we've come to expect from her. Boman Irani's character reminded me a little too much of some of his previous ones. He's good, but NOT My Wife's Murder or Munnabhai good.

Still, I would say BM is worth a dekho once for the novelty(Bolly "novelty", of course), a couple of very enjoyable performances and the great twist at the end. A lot of people have complained abt the slow pace in the middle but the story was good enough to keep my attention.

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.

While Rohan Sippy was written off for his 'Kuchh Na Kaho' this time he returns with Buffmaster..and from now onwards u can expect only better from him As we all know the story Bluffmaster is about 3 Conmans.While one is in deeply love.

The triumph of Bluffmaster lies in its style and fresh story.The only thing which went wrong is love story.It drags the movie sometimes.Otherwise the movie is fast paced and stylish.Some scenes are beautifully placed like first encounter between Abhishek and Ritesh,hospital scene between Boman,Abhishek and Ritesh..and when Nana asks Priyanka..'kis kis position me kaam kar sakti ho'.. Laughing Abhishek Bachchan is improving with each film.His role is similar to Bunty aur Bubly.But here he needs to be emotional as well cause he is a loser in love.And he carries the role like a matured performer Ritesh Deshmukh is excellent again.The actor have gr8 coming timing.And almost all the scenes between him and Abhishek is excellent Priyanka Chopra doesnot have to do much in such movie but the story revolves around her.Inspite of not so strong role she sparkles the screen whenever she comes.

Boman Irani is just passable But the real scene stealer is Nana Patekar.After his rocking performance in Apharan he is back again.He lits fire on the screen whenever he comes.He can be called 'powehouse of dilaogue delivery'.Its good to see he is coming back in form With fantastic music,good performances and nonetheless with its surprise and shocking end this is entertainment .You come to know Mumbai is beautiful too

For those who have not seen the original (and I suspect there are a lot of them in India) this is a copy of 'Matchstick Men' starring Nicholas Cage, Sam Rockwell and Alison Lohman.

The story is about Roy (even the central character is identical as if they're giving us a hint!) who cons everyone until he takes a protégé, played here by Ritesh Desmukh. When Roy learns of his life-threatening brain tumor (how convenient for the scriptwriter!), he decides to pull off the last "big one" by conning hotelier Chandru (Nana Patekar). What happens next is what happens with every other B-movie. So don't hold your breath.

Bollywood's gotten so brazen and shameless at copying it is appalling. Recently, Bunty Aur Babli was copied from Bonnie and Clyde, Dansh is a copy of Death and the Maiden, Kante was a mish-mash of Reservoir Dogs/ Usual Suspects, and on and on and on. And that Bhansali idiot never did acknowledge the credits for his Black, nor obtained the rights. After that miserable piece of crock, he's been 'Black'-listed as yet another bogus, B-grade Bollywood wannabe.

Boy, when and where will these third-rate thieves stop??? This is worse than Chinese piracy where they just sell copies of the original but not try to re-invent it! At least you can try to enforce copyright laws if only as deterrent. How do you stop these so-called "slight adaptations" and "loosely based ons" Indian filmmakers are getting away with??

Bluff Master is a fantastic piece of cinema with just the right amount of emotions, drama, comedy, thrill and about Abhishek Bachchan…yeh dil maange more! The star has finally become the actor with this film! When Abhishek started with his career, he seemed to have teething problems because of the mammoth surname attached to his name. Not only did his screen presence improved tremendously with each and every film, he has also let go off any inhibitions he might have suffered from when he began. If Yuva was the film, which brought him the critical acclaim and Bunty Aur Babli and Sarkar had moments where the son outshone the father, Bluff Master is definitely the film, where Abhishek comes of his own! Produced by Ramesh Sippy (Sholay, Seeta Aur Geeta, Shaan, Saagar, Shakti), Bluff Master is a brilliant piece of writing by Shridhar Raghavan, who is also credited with stories of films like Apharan and Khakee. The editing is razor edged by Amitabh Shukla and never loses its pace. Cinematography by Himman Dhamija is gripping and catches the right hues and colors of what is needed of a comic thriller like Bluff Master. Full marks to director Rohan Sippy (Debut-Dhai Akshar Prem Ke) for his dedication, passion and focus to make a product, which is not just good in few areas but excels in totality. Sippy's hard work shows in not letting the structure of the story fall apart like a pack of cards like the film made on a similar subject- Bunty Aur Babli. The plot is interesting and the climax keeps you on the edge of your seat guessing. The audio cd of the film may not be a collector's item but songs go well as audio- visual pieces choreographed with much punch and fervor in the film. The rap song ' Right Here Right Now' sung by Abhishek Bachchan rocks! The background score does justice to the screenplay. The costumes are carefully designed keeping the profile of each character. Talking of characters, the writer seems to have put extra time and efforts in shaping the characters, whether primary or secondary. The film has quite a few interesting con jobs, which do not strike as odd and on the contrary lends realism to the film and an instant identification with its characters. The dialogues are not rhetoric, and carefully mouthed, again to affirm the honesty with which the film is made. Associating people from different classes with different types of fish was refreshing and innovative work in dialogue writing. There is no unnecessary brooding over Roy (Abhishek) who is a professional at bluffing people as to why and what circumstances led him to join this line, neither does he let himself go ballistic over a vainglory accomplishment he achieves as a bluff master. There is a thin line between a con artist and a bluff master. Roy is a cool dude Bluff Master, lives in a swanky apartment and drives a chic car. Actors Ritesh Deshmukh, Boman Irani, Nana Patekar and Priyanka Chopra did full justice with their roles. The film is well crafted, and distinguishes itself from a buffoonery or slapstick, and is rather a sensible comedy that provides a much- needed comic relief, after absolute nonsense and trash films like Shaadi No. 1, Garam Masala and Home Delivery. Story: Roy (Abhishek Bachchan) is a professional conman, who has raised his work to the level of an art. He loves Simmi (Priyanka Chopra) who is unaware of his dark side. When his past catches up with him, she cannot forgive him for the deceit their relationship is built on and dumps him. That's when Dittu (Ritesh Deshmukh) enters his life. Dittu takes Roy as his mentor and wants to learn the tricks of the trade from him. As circumstances take turn, Roy must do one single most important thing in his life, which is to help Dittu get revenge from Chandru (Nana Patekar). What happens when the Bluff Master who wears so many masks is left with no alternative but to take them all off and finally reveal his real self? Watch Bluff Master to find out!

Indian movie makers seem to have to inspiration but Hollywood when it comes to making their cinema. This movie the bluff master is a scene to scene remake of the greg jacobs 2004 comedy "CRIMINAL".

It basically revolves on the premise of the sheep eating the wolf! the movie is well acted but falls short on the script at many levels. Abhishek Bachhan is fabulous though an comes across as really natural in the movie. good time pass if you wanna see it once. The only way to come see the movie is if you come unintitated as to the ending of the movie. Most people would be bored for throughout the movie (just as in the original CRIMINAL) but for the last 10 minutes which make sense of watching the whole movie.

This movie was good in a way. When i first came in the theater i had the impression this was going to be a classy movie with likes of Priyanka Chopra, Abhishek etc. But it truly disappointed me. Just before this I had seen Ek Ajnabee and this was awesome acting, good plot etc etc, but it was a copy, of Man on Fire. Bollywood cant get enough of Hollywood. Back to Bluffmaster. Everyone acted well, agreed, the screenplay was good, and the songs were OK not like those boring line dancers you normally see in Bollywood,the jokes were funny,but u won't go home and comment on the jokes in the movie. They weren't great but there was a laugh here or there, but after i got out of the theater i felt i had wasted my money for both the tickets, both were through and through copies. Bluffmaster is a copy of Matchstick Men. Bollywood needs to come up with there own plots. They have actors, directors, producers, sets and money. They just need to sit down and think of a plot and not take one from Bollywood.Bollywood cant get enough of Hollywood

i have no idea which Hollywood movie gave the inspiration to this wonderful movie but I'm glad that i am not aware coz i enjoyed this movie wholeheartedly. The performances of the actors are very good.

Abhi has proved further that he rocks in cool roles.... if he chooses roles like these more often he'll definitely be a legend...

Priyanka she was good and she complemented her character quite well...

Ritesh is just no questions put... very good performance and he definitely is getting better and better in his movies...

Boman Irani is just an evergreen comedian... just looking at him gives me the chuckles... very cool and very funny man i just love him.. groundbreaking performance once again.

Last but not the least Nanaji.... they say he is very stereotypical when it comes to his acting... i don't care... here he was very good and as the bad guy he delivered very good...

The plot is good and the speed was perfect in the beginning kinda got faster in the middle but retained the suitable speed in the end...

very good one-liners and definitely try to catch them... they provide a great comic relief...

very good script... i loved the lecture of irani to bacchan bout the memorable days in your life very spirit lifting....

overall a very good film and i have watched very few bollywood films recently that made me want to give a standing ovation... (seriously)

Another mediocre fare that Bollywood so consistently churns out. After watching this movie, one of my friends asked me what I thought about it. That is very difficult to answer, as the movie gives me absolutely nothing to think about. It's not bad that I may criticize it and point out all the places it fell flat on its face. Neither is it good that I may praise it. It walks a very thin line.

The titular conman (Abhishek Bachchan) loses his love when she (Priyanka Chopra) dumps him upon realizing what he really does. The depressed hero, now a victim of Brain Tumour (haha!) with 3 months to live, takes on an apprentice (Ritesh Deshmukh) and teaches him to con the father of all con men (Nana Patekar). Boman Irani does a Boman Irani as the dying hero's doctor.

This movie lazily zig-zags like a car with a sleepy driver. Just when it gets into masala-territory, the director (Rohan Sippy) wakes up and puts it back on track, comfortably falling into his snooze again. It ends up being neither a comfortable drive, nor a thrilling one. Rohan is a childhood friend of Abhishek - they attended school together. The director uses this understanding of his lead actor to ensure he gets a good performance out of him, but most of the other times, he's done really not much.

From Refugee to Bunty Aur Babli via Yuva, AB Jr has performed well in all kinds of roles - from comedy to intense drama - except Romance. Here, Abhishek is good as a conman, but fails miserably as the loser lover. This man needs to go a long way before he can convincingly play a lover boy. Nana Patekar falls deep into his own dug hole - overacting. Priyanka & Boman do a day's job.

All in all, watching this movie adds no value, but doesn't waste the 2:30hrs either.

My Rating —> 2.5/5 p.s. : Before the opening credits of the movie, the makers thank a host of people, most prominently Sanjay Dutt & Aishwarya Rai. Both these actors were the first choice of the director for this movie, but the stars couldn't commit. It would be nice to know why the director thanks them.

Bluffmaster is one unique masterpiece. When you think about it, it's a masala film. When you analyze it, it's not a typical masala film. It's nice blend of action, suspense, comedy and drama.

Abhishek Bachchan is the star of the movie. Most of his roles are usually the supporting one and he is usually overshadowed by the Roshans, Khans & Big B. It is very nice to see him as the hero of the movie. He played "Roy" with utmost sincerity & tons of attitude. He suits the role very well, from the looks & everything else in between.

Priyanka Chopra's character blended very well in the story. Most heroines in Bollywood are just a "decoration" to the movies, but Simmi's character begs to differ. Her character is not a Barbie doll, rather, her role is very logical & refreshing compared to others. Nice performance, indeed.

Ritesh Desmukh has a nice timing for comedy. He knows when to make the joke. And he's also good at the dramatic scenes in the movie.

Boman Irani plays his character very well. 50% serious & 50% funny best describes his character here. It is challenging to portray and I can say that played the role very well.

Nana Patekar is the show-stealer. Good transition from the bad & dangerous gang leader to the tree-staying guy. He's very convincing as a villain and I can say he's really cool.

Costumes - Love it. Very urban and modern.

Dialogue - This movie has the wittiest lines in the history of Bollywood.

Songs - The songs fit the movie well, which is very urban (and I'm a big urban music fan).

All in all, 9/10

Once again it all boils down to expectations. I went in expecting a 5 and came out with a 5. The movie was just too predictable. One other thing that i think all bollywood movies suffer from is this western hangover. The movie has toooo much English to much COOL, and too much style. That makes it very difficult to identify with the characters, the plot holes are numerous, but are excusable in this sort of movie. by far the best and most lovable part of the movie is nana patekar who steals the show. even ritesh deshmukh is decent and i see a bright future for him as a second actor. abhishek bachan is victim of his own stardom and i constantly got the feeling that they spent to much time making him cool and stylish and using English dialogues (honestly which people who sit in the stall in India understands all that?) and forgot that there also is the story. Also this movie suffers from the all destroying factor of the predictable ending and gutless one at that ( just by making the ending with some more B*&^s they could have improved the movie by 2 stars). But the movie is refreshing and original concept and the soundtrack and nana patekar make the movie worth seeing once.

Evergreen movie !! Can watch it anyday ! Won't be bored !!! The movie & music was surely ahead of it's time

AB jr riding high on success of his last three flicks, suddenly finds himself with a solo-release. Thankfully his support team helps him to to the balancing act. Snazzily shot, it starts off like a kid in a candy shop, not sure which candy to pick. After his first con, there's the wedding and the subsequent breakup. It happens too fast. But on the flip side, thats when the story starts. In a bid to leave his past behind Jr decides to groom a sidekick as his worthy successor. To see how the events unfold you have to see the movie. The ending is interesting but instead to ending where Matchstick Men ends, the director prefers to Indianize and justify the climax and falls flat. Jr is in fine form, but badly needs a shave. Its the same look now in a couple of films and he needs to take care. Lady love is a wasted effort. Sidekick is actually a pleasant revelation, playing with his parameters he comes up trumps. Patekar is brilliant and Boman Irani is surprisingly relegated to the sidelines What could have been a brave movie, ends up as an also ran.
