Desi Boys- A no-brain entertainer!

3 out of 5 stars for our Desi Boyz

After entertaining motion-picture fan with Garam Masala six years ago, Akshay Kumar and John Abraham unite again in Desi Boyz. Directed by first-timer Rohit Dhawan, son of the King of entertainers David Dhawan, this one goes a step further. Serious issues such as recession, unemployment and economic crisis have been mixed into the story, which compels the boyz, Akshay Kumar and John Abraham, to rename themselves as Rocco and Hunter and join the morally-low but highly-paying profession of male escorts’ agency run by Sanjay Dutt.
The two leading men are forced into the gigolo business by extreme circumstances- one wants to earn enough money to maintain custody of his nephew; the other dreams of the great suburban life, with a beautiful wife (Deepika), two kids, a dog and a satisfying bank balance. Here comes a twist, Deepika see the video of John’s pole dancing with few women. As a result the two friends part ways- one goes off to study at Trinity College, while the parks himself at his girl’s doorstep to please her furious girlfriend by dancing & singing song.
It’s the chemistry between the duo Akshay-John that makes this movie a worth watch. Chitrangda might not have as much extensive role but brings a refreshing appeal and immense screen presence to her character as a sexy & strip-tease college professor who sheds one piece of cloth everytime for every correct answer. (This strip-tease act is a straight copy from one of the sequence of the movie Good Boy Bad Boy). Deepika is charming and makes her presence felt in the male-dominated flick. Sanjay Dutt's cameo becomes the undisputed winner here, for his comic timing and overall act. Omi Vaidya is hilarious in his short role. Director Rohit Dhawan tells his story in most simple manner without compromising on the fun quotient.
Desi Boyz’s music is one of the major drawbacks of the movie. Subha hone na de is the only foot-tapping number, but the rest of the album is boring and doesn’t compliments the mood of the film. The English rap portion of the title song is peppy but the rest Punjabi lyrics spoils it.
On the whole Desi Boyz is entertaining if you leave your brain at home.
My ratings for the movie is 3 out of 5 stars.
So make some way for the Desi Boyz. And I am sure they won't disappoint you!
