"Boss" isn't very different from the Khiladhi series of Akshay Kumar or his Rowdy Rathore which gathered much of audiences. The similar story, fight sequences, songs appear a bit boring by now. However, the emotions, fights, and comedy do work in bit and pieces. But on a whole the film doesn't leave much of the impact; and by the time you leave your seats, you don't remember any of the moments in the movie. Akshay's performance isn't very different from his other entertainers, Ronit Roy is a bot impressive, and other actors don't leave much of impact. Overall, for its technical aspects, the film is watchable; but in terms of story, the film is quite forgettable.Rating: 1 star out of 4

Actually when it is being considered about the Movie it is actually quite good & beyond my expectation. Anthony D'souza has done a horrible job in Blue (2009) but in Boss (2013) we see some good evolvements. I expected something cheesy acting like Khiladi 786 through this movie also. Actually Boss is better than Khiladi 786. I am a Martial Artist & Learnt many Martial Arts In fact I would like to depict the fact that Akshay is the reason that I learnt Martial Arts. He is such a passionate Actor. When it is considered about the Bollywood Film Industry of 90s there are only 2 Action Actors, who has got Actions worth watching those are Sunil Shetty & Akshay Kumar. While considering about the Sunil Shetty's State I can clearly emphasize the fact that Akshay is in a good state overally. When it is considered about this movie Akki's action is in good state but fighting has got some cable sequences which makes really boring to watch the actions. Actually Akshay has performed some decent sidekicks, Flying Kick & some decent Turn Crescent Kicks within the movie. Akshay is back in to action he looks seriously nice in this movie, but although he tries to gain his position as the action king in India he is not the king of action in India anymore now because Bollywood has got Vidyuth Jamwal who is a way much great martial artist than Akki. Now as well Ran Charan has also entered to Hindi cinema with Zanjeer. At least it would be better if Akshay can perform the action sequence without cable like he used to do in the past. So in the future we would be able to see some great competition for the Action Movies between these actors in Bollywood Especially I really appreciate the acting of Mithun he has done a marvelous job within this movie. Shiv Pandit acting is not bad. Ronit Roy's acting is awesome he is really doing a great job as the villain but it can be described that there is a certain lack of main Heroine in this movie. When it is considered about the story there is a simple story (Like a movie in the 90s). But it is better if they could add some more interesting moments for the movie (because after all it is 2013 not 90s anymore). Music is not bad, got awesome energetic theme music & got good dialogues (not the best but OK) Overally it is watchable. If you are a fan of Akshay you will like it. I would like to give 7 out of 10. If you are wondering whether to watch this one or not, go ahead make your move Watch it.

Akshay Kumar has taken an oath to laugh at his own one-liners, do mindless comedies, do gravity defying action scenes, some songs by Honey Singh and all other cheap techniques. Every Friday there is a movie like this, Actors, Directors and Producers or for that matter all the crew members are taking the ingredients from Masala Movie template and cashing the receipts of money. There is something seriously wrong with our Film Industry because they have many movies on the floors; they are merely interested in good cinema. Akshay Kumar has done a great job but he is gradually diminishing his own image.'Boss' (Akshay Kumar) who becomes a mobster serving jail in his childhood. His father (Mithun Chakraborty) has parted ways from him and doesn't want to see his face again. Surya's younger brother Shiv (Shiv Pandit) is in police custody due and ACP Ayushman Thakur (Ronit Roy) abhors him, as Shiv loves Ayushman's sister Ankita (Aditi Rao Hydari). No Boss has to save his brother because blood is thicker than water.It is a remake of Malayalam movie 'Pokkiri Raja 2010', which itself a very bad movie. The writing is absolutely absurd because many things come and go without any significance. Akshay Kumar enters the screen after 30 minutes and gets the he is the only person on the screen. Jokes and punches are lame, forced songs give screenplay a hard time to manage the narrative.Sanjay Mishra & Johnny Lever have been wasted completely. Mithun and Danny do what is required. Shiv and Aditi love track never impresses as they both look indifferent. Shiv Pandit has done an astounding Job is "Shaitan" and he should probably refrain from such roles.The show stealer is "Ronit Roy" as a menacing and ruthless ACP; he delivers the dialogs the perfect body language. He is the only thing which sticks in the mind.There are some of the scenes which make you laugh. Otherwise it is really a headache to hear the overdone dialogs and emotional scenes.Overall, it the same movie that comes every Friday with different actors and crew.

Most of the attempted slapstick comedy notes in "Boss" fall flat. Yet the underlying dramatic storyline proves surprisingly satisfying, and lead actor Akshay Kumar's sheer joyous athleticism keep his latest film worth a watch.My personal highlight of the film?A roughly five-minute chase sequence where our unarmed title character leads a whole army of pursuing thugs on a merry chase up, over, and through a claustrophobic old-town: the wit and panache with which Mr Kumar 'free runs' and bounds – with a smile and a laugh – are simply a delight to witness.Several particularly well-staged fight sequences remind us that, even at 46, Akshay Kumar's real martial arts prowess has no equal in Bollywood.Other plus points:• Danny Denzongpa (who has always been one of India's most under-rated actors, in my opinion) as 'Big Boss', the title character's adoptive father – such a pleasure to see him in a more positive role, where he shines!• the storyline between the title character and his real and adoptive fathers• excellent fight choreography, throughout• song "Hum Na Tode" immediately after the interval, Mr Kumar's best dance and even a brief cameo by Prabhu Deva – easily the best song of the filmNegative points:• poor writing – especially, poor character development of the supporting characters• one-dimensional villain (though ably played by Ronit Roy)• Sonakshi Sinha's cameo appearance in two songs – just plain fat, embarrassingly so for a film heroine (and the costume designer for "Party All Night" should be shot at dawn!)• the (literally) sniffling idiot• background score – inexplicably loud and actively intrusive at poorly picked moments, such as the climactic duel between Mr Kumar and Mr RoyOn the whole, not by any means a 'great' movie. But enjoy for Mr Kumar's performance in top form.
