Story Line
Entertainment coupled with a weak story, a weaker screenplay, and complete lack of common sense– Bol Bachchan has all the exact ingredients of cooking a 100 crore dish. The movie and its box office collection reflects the average film making for the average film going audience that Bollywood has currently ended up in. The story is inspired (the new term we use for copied) from legendary Golmaal (yes this time they copied the story in place of name) and fails to create the same vibe. The dialogues partly inspired by senior Bachchan movies and partly by the done-to-death inept English speaking dimwit roles that we have seen fail to make a lasting impact. Its inability to recreate Hrishikesh Mukherjee feel makes you remember and miss Hrishi-da all the more. For most of the English speaking role of Ajay Devgn, you might recall Chupke Chupke’s Dharmendra for the play on language.
The background music and the looks of the protagonist makes you remember a better made Singham, and yet for most part of the film the character looks like a spoof on Singham. It has flying cars and prop assisted Darasinghified (god bless his soul) fight sequences like all other Rohit Shetty films but misses the pulse. Presence of dedicated comedians like Krishna and VIP and Asrani in unnecessary character sketches reminds you of the times when Johnny Lever and Kader Khan used to light up the screen in their roles for comic relief. Infact it would even make you miss Rohit Shetty’s very own Golmaal famed – Arshad Warsi, Sharman Joshi even Tusshar Kapoor and Vrajesh Hirjee. Bol Bachchan has a strange deja-vu like feeling with all aspects of movie making. Don’t get me wrong, the movie isn’t bad. It is a lazy film. It neither wants to say anything new nor does it want to say anything that is already said in a different way.
