Bluff Master is a fantastic piece of cinema with just the right amount of emotions, drama, comedy, thrill and about Abhishek Bachchan…yeh dil maange more! The star has finally become the actor with this film! When Abhishek started with his career, he seemed to have teething problems because of the mammoth surname attached to his name. Not only did his screen presence improved tremendously with each and every film, he has also let go off any inhibitions he might have suffered from when he began. If Yuva was the film, which brought him the critical acclaim and Bunty Aur Babli and Sarkar had moments where the son outshone the father, Bluff Master is definitely the film, where Abhishek comes of his own! Produced by Ramesh Sippy (Sholay, Seeta Aur Geeta, Shaan, Saagar, Shakti), Bluff Master is a brilliant piece of writing by Shridhar Raghavan, who is also credited with stories of films like Apharan and Khakee. The editing is razor edged by Amitabh Shukla and never loses its pace. Cinematography by Himman Dhamija is gripping and catches the right hues and colors of what is needed of a comic thriller like Bluff Master. Full marks to director Rohan Sippy (Debut-Dhai Akshar Prem Ke) for his dedication, passion and focus to make a product, which is not just good in few areas but excels in totality. Sippy's hard work shows in not letting the structure of the story fall apart like a pack of cards like the film made on a similar subject- Bunty Aur Babli. The plot is interesting and the climax keeps you on the edge of your seat guessing. The audio cd of the film may not be a collector's item but songs go well as audio- visual pieces choreographed with much punch and fervor in the film. The rap song ' Right Here Right Now' sung by Abhishek Bachchan rocks! The background score does justice to the screenplay. The costumes are carefully designed keeping the profile of each character. Talking of characters, the writer seems to have put extra time and efforts in shaping the characters, whether primary or secondary. The film has quite a few interesting con jobs, which do not strike as odd and on the contrary lends realism to the film and an instant identification with its characters. The dialogues are not rhetoric, and carefully mouthed, again to affirm the honesty with which the film is made. Associating people from different classes with different types of fish was refreshing and innovative work in dialogue writing. There is no unnecessary brooding over Roy (Abhishek) who is a professional at bluffing people as to why and what circumstances led him to join this line, neither does he let himself go ballistic over a vainglory accomplishment he achieves as a bluff master. There is a thin line between a con artist and a bluff master. Roy is a cool dude Bluff Master, lives in a swanky apartment and drives a chic car. Actors Ritesh Deshmukh, Boman Irani, Nana Patekar and Priyanka Chopra did full justice with their roles. The film is well crafted, and distinguishes itself from a buffoonery or slapstick, and is rather a sensible comedy that provides a much- needed comic relief, after absolute nonsense and trash films like Shaadi No. 1, Garam Masala and Home Delivery. Story: Roy (Abhishek Bachchan) is a professional conman, who has raised his work to the level of an art. He loves Simmi (Priyanka Chopra) who is unaware of his dark side. When his past catches up with him, she cannot forgive him for the deceit their relationship is built on and dumps him. That's when Dittu (Ritesh Deshmukh) enters his life. Dittu takes Roy as his mentor and wants to learn the tricks of the trade from him. As circumstances take turn, Roy must do one single most important thing in his life, which is to help Dittu get revenge from Chandru (Nana Patekar). What happens when the Bluff Master who wears so many masks is left with no alternative but to take them all off and finally reveal his real self? Watch Bluff Master to find out!

This movie was good in a way. When i first came in the theater i had the impression this was going to be a classy movie with likes of Priyanka Chopra, Abhishek etc. But it truly disappointed me. Just before this I had seen Ek Ajnabee and this was awesome acting, good plot etc etc, but it was a copy, of Man on Fire. Bollywood cant get enough of Hollywood. Back to Bluffmaster. Everyone acted well, agreed, the screenplay was good, and the songs were OK not like those boring line dancers you normally see in Bollywood,the jokes were funny,but u won't go home and comment on the jokes in the movie. They weren't great but there was a laugh here or there, but after i got out of the theater i felt i had wasted my money for both the tickets, both were through and through copies. Bluffmaster is a copy of Matchstick Men. Bollywood needs to come up with there own plots. They have actors, directors, producers, sets and money. They just need to sit down and think of a plot and not take one from Bollywood.Bollywood cant get enough of Hollywood

if u r looking for a nice lighthearted, young, and peppy movie with hip music, this is the one for u... basically out and out comedy with takes a different route halfway thru the movie but catches on with a bang with a twist in the end of the movie! every single frame is like a music video with catchy tunes and remixes!abhishek is well, just his funky self... contrary to popular belief nothing inherited from bunty n babli, ritesh is cute and very funny and priyanka is OK.. nana patekar has never done so well a comedy film (hey wait, i don't think he had any comedy movies before.. but now he should do more!) and the music is simply... hippy!! thank god the songs r not forcefully placed in between the movies but tastefully done with the whole retro theme of the movie.. not everyone can use this retro theme so well in their movies. I loved it...

For those who have not seen the original (and I suspect there are a lot of them in India) this is a copy of 'Matchstick Men' starring Nicholas Cage, Sam Rockwell and Alison Lohman.The story is about Roy (even the central character is identical as if they're giving us a hint!) who cons everyone until he takes a protégé, played here by Ritesh Desmukh. When Roy learns of his life-threatening brain tumor (how convenient for the scriptwriter!), he decides to pull off the last "big one" by conning hotelier Chandru (Nana Patekar). What happens next is what happens with every other B-movie. So don't hold your breath.Bollywood's gotten so brazen and shameless at copying it is appalling. Recently, Bunty Aur Babli was copied from Bonnie and Clyde, Dansh is a copy of Death and the Maiden, Kante was a mish-mash of Reservoir Dogs/ Usual Suspects, and on and on and on. And that Bhansali idiot never did acknowledge the credits for his Black, nor obtained the rights. After that miserable piece of crock, he's been 'Black'-listed as yet another bogus, B-grade Bollywood wannabe.Boy, when and where will these third-rate thieves stop??? This is worse than Chinese piracy where they just sell copies of the original but not try to re-invent it! At least you can try to enforce copyright laws if only as deterrent. How do you stop these so-called "slight adaptations" and "loosely based ons" Indian filmmakers are getting away with??
