Bol Bachchan Movie Review
Ratings:2/5 Reviewer:Rajeev Masand Site:CNN IBN(IBNLive) 
Bol Bachchan, directed by Rohit Shetty, revels gleefully in its silliness. This is a film whose pedestrian humor requires neither taste nor common sense to appreciate. Bol Bachchan offers a few genuine laughs, but it’s too long and too labored to describe as a pleasing film. Shetty, who came up with some clever comic sketches particularly in his first and third Golmaal films, appears to be cashing in on past glory with this dull rehash of his successful work.I’m going with two out of five for Bol Bachchan. Even if you’re a fan of Rohit Shetty’s cinema, it’s unlikely your chest will become a blouse over this one!

Asin does well, though her screen time is limited. Nonetheless, her amiable looks and stimulating smile add to her charisma. Prachi Desai is striking, getting ample opportunity to showcase her talent. In fact, one hopes to see more of this talented actress in zany entertainers. Krushna Abhishek is supremely talented and it's unmistakably obvious in this movie. His comic timing is perfect. Neeraj Vora is superb. In fact, there are times when you realize that he gets the best lines and induces frequent laughter. Archana Puransingh is, as always, fab. In fact, in roles such as these, there couldn't have been a better performer than her. Asrani is, once again, wonderful, adding so much credibility to the sequences. 
On the whole, BOL BACHCHAN is a dhamaal entertainer that has the Rohit Shetty stamp all over it. A film that pays homage to the cinema of 1970s and 1980s, especially the ones made by Manmohan Desai. Big stars, big visuals, big entertainment, BOL BACHCHAN has it all.

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.

Bol Bachchan is dispensable cinema, forgotten almost immediately after it's over. Shetty picks up all the major plot points of the original only to alter it with his boisterous, cheesy, slapstick and visually flashy sensibilities, known to work hugely in his favour given the success of the propitiously titled Golmaal franchise. Unlike the Utpal Dutt-Amol Palekar starrer, however, Bol Bachchan isn't an out-and-out comedy throwing in large-scale action and irksome melodrama.

There is no attempt at plotting, storytelling, delineating a character, building coherence or following logic. Shetty’s only agenda is to give you a good time.So did I have a good time? I laughed in a few places.But the humour consists of the kind of PJs that you might have giggled at in your college canteen. Mostly, the gags feel laboured. What you get instead is mediocre entertainment, which is almost depressing in its repetitiveness. A fitting label would be: The Cinema of Exhaustion.

This one’s strictly for Bollywood junkies whose funny bones are easy to tickle. Yes, Bol Bachchan is a hot air balloon with no air, hot or otherwise. So expect no genuine comic highsBe warned. Bol Bachchan is a comedy so absurd that it could reduce you to tears of despair. Conversely, if you have the stomach for such rampant silliness, it might propel you into paroxysms of delight. The call is entirely yours.

I laughed more in this one than I have in his previous loud comedies. Devgn is still in `Singham’ mode, chest rippling, not in blouse, but in collared long kurtas and lean jeans, bashing up the bad guys. But because he is a good comic, he does let an occasional line rip. If your nosy is not turned up too high, ‘Bol Bachchan’, less blaring than your standard Rohit Shetty comedy, can give you sporadic chuckles, and a few helpess laughs. Can’t expect more.

BOL BACHCHAN in Mumbai lingo literally means one telling a tall tale. While the concept in itself is good, the way it has been thrust onto the viewer is juvenile. Director Rohit Shetty loses the plot and Abhishek Bachchan, playing the side-kick is a sad sight.In short, BOL BACHCHAN is like a quickly put up 'after dinner play' which one indulges in during their growing-up years to entertain their parents.

Junior B attempts to enthral as Abbas Ali/Abhishek Bachchan, while playing the done-to-death cat-and-mouse role with Devgn . A little too heavily inspired by the 1979 Amol Palekar-starrer Golmaal, unintended dishonesty is the basic premise of Bol Bachchan.Right from the back story to the Karz-style Ek Haseena Thi performance, Bol Bachchan borrows a lot from and seeks to spoof Bollywood films. However it succeeds only sporadically.If you liked the Shetty Golmaals and Singham, this review will only be bol bachchan for you. Have fun while it lasts.

The point with movies like ‘Bol Bachchan’ is that there is nothing in it that is not predictable. It is not as if people can expect a shoddy piece of work and get inside theatres and be surprised to see the reverse. The music of Himesh Reshammiya, and added to that his nasal voice, are tortuous to the ears. The comic element is all that redeems the film, and of course, the acting of the cast. All of that culminates in a proper comedy, but the story line is non-existent. Leave the dry reason and logic at home, and there you have a brilliant movie. Infuse an iota of logic into it, and your brain screams out for a Saridon at intervals of five to ten minutes. The anthologised SMS jokes and the wafer-thin plot are some of the reasons the film doesn’t appear anything out of the box. 
They say what can’t be cured, must be endured. Once you give in to that adage and ask your white matter to exit the theatre, you will enjoy the film. Watch ‘Bol Bachchan’ just for laughing.

On the whole, Bol Bachchan won't disappoint you. You are going to watch comedy, drama, lots of comic action and flying cars! Devgn's witty dialogues would definitely leave you yelling, whistling, giggling and applauding in the theatres. The film takes the audience on a roller coaster ride that will leave them roar with laughter.
