Bluffmaster

Rating: 6.5/10
The movie promo for this movie was a bigger hit than the movie itself, as is the trend nowadays. The movie itself is not as fast paced or out of the world funny or slapstick comedy as the video album might have portrayed. However it has a different feel to it. It’s stylish and yet simple. Being an AB Junior fan its hard for me to write anything against him, but personally I feel he could have done a touch better. Nana Patekar is at his cool best, as always. Some of the punch line between AB Junior and Nana are quite funny. For me the movie is a dividing line between two eras, a pre-Priyanka chopra era and a Priyanka chopra era, I couldn’t help but take notice of this girl who has been around for a few years now, but looks her best here; I think she acted well too. The movie is probably inspired by the Michael Douglas movie ‘The Game’, not the central story, but just has a feel. Let me know if you think so too. Ritesh is good in parts. The chemistry between Ritesh and Abhishek is good, so is the chemistry between Abhishek and Priyanka. Boman Irani is OK. The songs fit well in the movies and almost all of them are a big hit now. The video album is a rage. Not exactly a must watch but a shade better that Bunty and Bubly, if you get a chance do see it.

Actually I think the story has large doses of "Matchstick Men" too...

And some inspiration from the Argentinian flick "Nine Queens." (esp. the sequence in the elevator.

Trivia for the day: Nine Queens was also remade in Hollywood as 'Criminal' which wasn't a great success, far as Im remember....
