Abbas wants a job, Prithvi wants an honest man. But Abbas spins a tale of twin brothers and multiple mothers - what happens when Prithvi discovers his vivid truth and lies?
Abbas wants a job, Prithvi wants an honest man. But Abbas spins a tale of twin brothers and multiple mothers - what happens when Prithvi discovers his vivid truth and lies?
You know those heart-charts they have in hospitals, the ones that trace a person's heartbeat up and down in waves? Bol Bachchan (BB) reminds you often of one of those. Rohit Shetty's latest movie has a constant up-and-down aspect to it, one sequence making you shriek in your seat with laughter, another sending your mind wandering off to the mundane. But at the very heart of things - Shetty's madly in love with the movies and BB is his homage to that all-time classic, Golmaal.
In Shetty's version, Abbas Ali (Bachchan) is desperate for work after he and his sister Sania (Asin) lose their parental home. A family friend Shashtri (Asrani) brings them from Delhi-6 to the feudal village of Ranakpur where Prithvijit Raghuvanshi (Devgn) is the lord of all he surveys. Blessed with two obsessions - speaking nothing but the truth and hysteria-inducing English - Prithvi is super-impressed by Abbas, even swallowing his story of being called 'Abhishek Bachchan' when events lead to Abbas breaking open a temple door. As Prithvi insists on employing 'Abhishek', Shastri's son Ravi (Krushna, positively sparkling as he reprises Deven Verma's role in all this golmaal) adds more wheels to Abbas's clattering spin, creating a Muslim twin brother and a super-pious mother to convince Prithvi of Abhishek's propah antecedents. With the mother played by small-time mujra star Zohra Bai (Archana Puran Singh in a loud, colourful role she carries off with the swagger of a satin sharara), and Abbas playing a highly effeminate kathak teacher, hired by Prithvi to teach his petulant sister Radhika (Desai) some dance, things only get funnier.
Devgn's at the top of his form here, mouthing lines like 'Hard work is the keyhole to saxophone' and 'Boy in armpit, hyper-noise pollution in city', meaning bagal mein chora, etc., with deadpan face and shining eyes. Bachchan sags at the start but sizzles with later hilarity, even pulling off a crazy dance sequence to Dola Re. You wish there'd been more of his mad antics but instead, the camera spends considerable time lingering lovingly on Devgn's cleavage as he drives a jeep, pulverizes liars and takes on his weasly cousin.
In contrast to the male leads, the two heroines look pretty but bring little more than a wardrobe of delectable kurtis to the film. In fact, the stellar supporting stars - Asrani, Krushna, Puran Singh and Neeraj Vora as Prithvi's suspicious sidekick Makhan - bring far more zest to the party. With its hilarious moments and film-buff touches - bits of Singham imagery, Bachchan channeling some of that Yuva aggression his way, references from Deewar to Dostana - BB's fun and games. But it's way too long and diverts you needlessly with that wicked cousin angle, a power plant that doesn't progress out of paper, an odd double-role for Asin, jokes overloading on the cheese at times and music that is surprisingly unmemorable.
On the plus side, BB's a dialogue-lover's delight - lines like 'fish and chips without water', Devgn conveying the situation of a 'jal bin machli' - sparkle across the plot and you can feel the love as the actors reprise bits and bobs of vintage Bollywood. On the downside, it exceeds by about 30 minutes and has that odd, uneven heart-chart quality accompanying the film. But that aside, BB showcases Shetty as the maharaja of madness, Devgn clearly his crown prince. And Abhishek? His judwa bhai, of course.

useless movie. insipid story, loud acting, the movie tends to create pain in head as next part of story to unfold is too obvious.. just waste of peace of mind. mr rohit shetty golmaal's were ok to certain extent. this is the limit of the use of your talent of direction in wrong direction

HILARIOUS COMEDY
Review posted within last 6 month
This movie is fun to watch, with a special appearance of Big B in the beginning with a song. Awesome comedy scenes, catchy songs and a good story line , this film's got it all. It has some creative double meaning dialogues and awesome depiction of abhishek's gay twin brother by abhishek himself with a funny dance performance on various item numbers. Overall it's a good movie if you're looking for a fun filled comedy

Average movie. Bad direction, no story, pathetic acting. You can instead just go out in park along with your family or friends or just alone.

after having enjoyed Singham, and the Golmaal series, this one was a damp squib from Rohit Shetty. i felt the comedy was forced on us, not once did i feel like laughing. i think gone are those days when loud comedy would woo the audiences. did not like AB and krishna's acting at all.

A nice comedy movie.....Abhishek was good atleast for once.......

This is a good movie, light - hearted comedy, one which you can watch with family. Though, the story line is absolutely similar to the original Golmal, it is still a good comedy.

AB again proves poor act... Shetty should get a life.. still stuck in that space.. grow-up dude!!

Even though you know the storyline, it is well made and somoe good acting. Music is kinda ok, but I think Ajay is more suited to action. And AB suits well as a gay.

Bol-Bachchan- honestly speaking I was expecting much more than what I saw in theatres. Abhishek Bachchan's comedy did not shape up well. It seemed as if he was forced to make people laugh. One which really tickled my funny bone was Ajay Devgan and his English. Krishna also did not perform well, he seems suitable for comedy circus only. his acting in the movie was awful. but on a sweeter note, Archana was acceptable or rather quite good. There was no sense in keeping a double role for Asin. After I came out from the theatre, I wished if I had watched another movie! For those who liked the movie, what I can say is that "Different people, Different tastes"

complete copy of Golmaal... But ajay was superb... no doubt the USP of BOL BACHAN is its dialogues... AB was gud.. Asin was unexpectedly worse.... Prachi, Krishna... a considerable performance...

A complete Ajay Devgun show. Inspite of all the pain one has to go through to watch Abhishek trying to act funny, this flick is fun only because of Ajay.

the movie is fully carried on by ajay devgan with ab junior contributing in significant parts(his dance sequence was hilarious) .at least ab junior is not stagnant in his dance moves noe...the movie is truly a 100 crore movie

Ajay Devgn's acting is brilliant as usual with a gay act by abhishek bachchan that amuses and irritates at the same time. You are being forced to laugh throughout the movie and cant help think about Uttpal Datt and Amol Palekars GolMal and how good that was

Mr Shetty does specialise in such a genre wherein laughter is often forced, and believe me, I really wanted to slash my wrists whenever I heard Devgn speak in English. and Why had AB Jr. stereotyped the gay man, again!!! and what is up with the blasting up of cars or crashing them at any and every moment.. and please the leading ladies might as well be junior artists who merely need to dress pretty..

It's just awesome movie... Nothing new in terms of Story line, It's movie on comedy of Errors... But 3A's makes movie really special one- Ajay's English, Action and Off course Abhishek's acting.... Comedy in the movie is just Superb... Rohit keeps you laughing for entire 2.5 hrs and even after coming out of movie you wont stop laughing - that's for sure... only negative was Actress were simply wasted... Guys go n watch movie if you like comedy movie specially for Ajay's English... Warning - Please keep your brain and Logic at home while going for movie...

Bol Bachchan is a typical Rohit Shetty movie. He has taken inspiration from couple of old movies and mixed it well to come up with a 100 cr plus product. It serves the purpose of entertaining people with few scenes that went well into the memories of people. Everyone has played their part to perfection. Nice watch!!
