Desi boyz is a light "comedy romance drama" film with urban touch. Nearly 10 years but film still looks fresh.
As a debut movie of Rohit Dhawan it was a decent attempt. Movie never bores and it is lavishly shot. Comedy and romance are handled well. There are some places where direction is lacking in dramatic scenes but mostly the story is handled well.
Acting : Akshay gets a tailor made role as Jerry aka Rocco. He looks cool. Nice one liners in his kitty. Superb comedy by him. John as Nick aka Hunter looked dashing. He looked natural in romance. Deepika looks beautiful and acted well. Chitrangada looks stunning and played her role well. Anupam Kher was nice in his typical comic role. Sanjay Dutt in his extended cameo did pretty good job. Omi Vaidya is given a cartoonish role still he is funny because of his accent. Mohnish Behl had a small role nothing much to do. Virej Dasani as Veer was cute in his role.
Best part of the film were it's songs. A chartbuster album. What an album it was!!
Superb music by Pritam. Personal favourite is Allah Maaf Kare by Sonu Nigam.
Chemistry between the 2 lead pairs is amazing. Songs lifted the mood of this movie.
Camerawork, locations and costumes were superb.
It had some flaws. The humour became slapstick at some places which it didn't fit well and sometimes it fell flat too. Due to over urbanish treatment at some places, sometimes characters looked fake and not grounded according to the situation. The male escort plot was explored less which was expected from the title.
Overall it's an entertaining film with a simple story. Still wondering why was it was rated with 'A' certificate.
