Bluffmaster! Trailers

Roy is a professional conman, who has raised his work to the level of an art. The only true thing he has is his love for Simmi someone who is so rooted, honest and sincere, that he can't bring himself to tell her the reality of who he is. But when his past catches up with him, she cannot forgive him for the deceit their relationship is built on. He loses her forever. That's when Aditya Srivastav enters the picture. He is the counterpoint to everything that Roy is as frantic as Roy is calm, as dumb as Roy is smart, as messy and untidy as Roy is smooth. They have only one thing in common. Aditya is a conman too. At least he thinks of himself as one. In Roy's book, he's an embarrassment. But one that won't go away!

In the year 2005, there were many con films like the crap though hit Bunty Aur Babli, Chocolate, Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena which didn't work and finally BLUFFMASTER.The film again had AB Jr again play a conman just like B & B. The film however is much more realistic(in comparison to B & B), it starts off well with a sort of tribute to Amitabh's DO AUR DO PAANCH type films. The romance is well handled, Also the con acts are well handled here, maybe discounting a few. The turn of events after Nana's entry are well handled though the climax doesn't register that well, though it's well handled but leaves plenty of flawsDirection by Rohan Sippy is good Music is good, There used plenty of songs for background music including Amitabh's DO AUR DO PAANCh title song,Arush's Boro Boro is good, while Sabse Bada Rupaiya is good too, Abhishek's debut song Ek Main fits well and is decent Camera-work is superb, Mumbai never looked so beautiful Abhishek Bachchan is excellent in a role, unlike B & B here he plays it more naturally and seems ideal for the part, though at times too serious perhaps Ritiesh is simply superb as Dittu, he endears himself and makes his act look likable Priyanka Chopra is decent, Nana Patekar steals the show as Chandrakant Parekh, he as always makes you laugh even with a straight face Boman Irani is underutilised but decent, Tinnu Anand and others lend good support

While Rohan Sippy was written off for his 'Kuchh Na Kaho' this time he returns with Buffmaster..and from now onwards u can expect only better from him As we all know the story Bluffmaster is about 3 Conmans.While one is in deeply love.The triumph of Bluffmaster lies in its style and fresh story.The only thing which went wrong is love story.It drags the movie sometimes.Otherwise the movie is fast paced and stylish.Some scenes are beautifully placed like first encounter between Abhishek and Ritesh,hospital scene between Boman,Abhishek and Ritesh..and when Nana asks Priyanka..'kis kis position me kaam kar sakti ho'.. Laughing Abhishek Bachchan is improving with each film.His role is similar to Bunty aur Bubly.But here he needs to be emotional as well cause he is a loser in love.And he carries the role like a matured performer Ritesh Deshmukh is excellent again.The actor have gr8 coming timing.And almost all the scenes between him and Abhishek is excellent Priyanka Chopra doesnot have to do much in such movie but the story revolves around her.Inspite of not so strong role she sparkles the screen whenever she comes.Boman Irani is just passable But the real scene stealer is Nana Patekar.After his rocking performance in Apharan he is back again.He lits fire on the screen whenever he comes.He can be called 'powehouse of dilaogue delivery'.Its good to see he is coming back in form With fantastic music,good performances and nonetheless with its surprise and shocking end this is entertainment .You come to know Mumbai is beautiful too

i have no idea which Hollywood movie gave the inspiration to this wonderful movie but I'm glad that i am not aware coz i enjoyed this movie wholeheartedly. The performances of the actors are very good.Abhi has proved further that he rocks in cool roles.... if he chooses roles like these more often he'll definitely be a legend...Priyanka she was good and she complemented her character quite well...Ritesh is just no questions put... very good performance and he definitely is getting better and better in his movies...Boman Irani is just an evergreen comedian... just looking at him gives me the chuckles... very cool and very funny man i just love him.. groundbreaking performance once again.Last but not the least Nanaji.... they say he is very stereotypical when it comes to his acting... i don't care... here he was very good and as the bad guy he delivered very good...The plot is good and the speed was perfect in the beginning kinda got faster in the middle but retained the suitable speed in the end...very good one-liners and definitely try to catch them... they provide a great comic relief...very good script... i loved the lecture of irani to bacchan bout the memorable days in your life very spirit lifting....overall a very good film and i have watched very few bollywood films recently that made me want to give a standing ovation... (seriously)

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??
