Negative points: Illogical facts, over exaggerated shots

Plot: A transport king cum mafia kingpin Big Boss (Danny Denzongpa) collides a hushed, all reserved young age guy Surya (Akshay Kumar) who has his own ruffled tale. In a tiff where Big Boss is sure to die, Surya bumps up and saves the life of the life taker. This impresses the kingpin to adopt him as a carry forwarder of his legacy. The film than zooms ahead with a 15 year leap, transforming the reserved lad become Boss (Akshay Kumar as the same) a whole of supreme, all by himself.

On the other, there is a havocked father Satyakanth Shastri (Mithun Chakraborty) referring a old news paper mentioning a young kid saving the life of then mafia lord Big Boss. The kid there is none other than his disowned son Surya who now has transformed drastically into Boss, the underworld King. However now the long lost father-son are destined to meet and the reason bridge becomes Boss's younger brother, Shastri's younger lad Shiv (Shiv Pandit) who has been into the cell of the most lethal cop Ayushman Thakur (Ronit Roy).

Whereas, Boss reunites to his past, eventually has his blood boiling for the humiliation and torture faced by is family all because Ayushman and desires to seek a revenge for sure.

Direction and Other Technical Aspects: 'Blue' fame director Anthony D'Souza has been decent with handling the overall ride interestingly, neglecting few flaws which seem bit hilarious. Retaining back the action hero Akshay Kumar completely to his home ground of action along with his recent exquisite touch, humor, which has been pulled off pretty well by the director. The film clubs up to be an entertainer in itself, by getting delighted on the vibrant star Akshay along with receiving a fierce vibe from the antagonist, Ronit Roy. Whereas the film consist of the same old Bollywood saga of difference in values between a parent and a son, the unfolding suspense with a time break keeps you indulged and increase the curiosity to know what was the reason behind a particular happening.

The songs appear every now and then, but considering a mass lure it was a piece of an expected serve. Getting a sip of particular one liners as like "Apne Ko Kya, Apne Ko Sirf Paani Nikalna Hai" are uttered every now and then, right from fights till a senti sequence, however it doesn't sound creepy rather it keeps the viewers seated to the lure ride. The technique of using the slow motion cameras are utilized wisely. Thus, it remains a key element in the fight sequences matching much of Hollywood standards, all draped as a surprise delight to the eyes. The cinematography delivers a perfect combo to the respective shots, also does a decent job overall.

Performances: Akshay Kumar as Boss comes out all loud and royal, just the 'Boss' way. His comeback into full fledged action genre along with humor, patents the combo genre completely to his name. His style, his attitude completely justifies to his character portrayal of an all good baddie.

Ronit Roy comes out to be a sheer antagonist with his portrayal of a selfish, greedy cop and a fox minded brother. The actor runs a cold vibe through the spine with his red eyed fury gaze. The more of small screen performer stands next, shoulder to shoulder with Akshay to carry the film in balance. It is his immense contribution that adds fumes to the hero-villain tussle.

Considered about two young faces Shiv Pandit & Aditi Rao Hydari, the lad has delivered an average performance compared to his previous treat. Whereas the beauty here has no scope to show much of her acting skills, the lass proves a hot property with her bikini act, rest has a decent share to the flick.

Talking about two veterans Mithun Chakraborty and Danny Denzongpa, their experience spills out on the screen with Mithun as a father completely and Danny as a Mafia lord, mainly in the first half the second half steals the light when Akshay accompanies.

Music: Being a entertainer on the forefront, the track list has the house on fire. Various composers like Meet Bros, Yo Yo Honey Singh and Chirantan Bhatt combine the album to be a blend of romantic, emotional as well as peppy tracks. Whereas "Har Kisiko Nahi Milta" revives the evergreen song reasonably, "Party All Night" and "Boss", title track fumes up the meter with raps from the famous rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh. Emotional song "Pita Se Hai Naam" too carries the emotional flow vividly, blending a decent mixture.

Final Verdict: The 'Boss'giri completely drives up the Haryanvi fever, making it a tour to the irregular verbal, yet in a simpler though entertaining manner. Though few sensible facts missing that can be easily noticed, yet the amusement factor has the viewers seated for a fun time. Well now that it has been a huge release after so much of publicity, it is a must watch this weekend.
