Wonderful Movie
Undescribable Perfection
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
I'm a late watcher of the movie, all I will say I understand how they wanted to make the movie, what came out was complete rubbish, Direction 2/10, Dialogues 0/10 Script 1/10 Songs 2/10 Story 0/10, Amitabh Bacchan's acting was very confusing, 3/10, Jackie Shroff was clearly better than Amitabh Bacchan, 5/10, Javed Jeffery 7/10, Gulshan Grover 8/10, Seema Biswas 9/10, Models 5/10, seriously katrina Kaif in the movie is just a pretty face nothing else...was it Salman khan bought her into the limelight or was she really that pretty...? For heaven sake Where's the acting...? The models in the movie just proved models can't act...lolSome of the vulgarity in the movie wasn't necessary at all, Zeenat aman has chosen the role which I wouldn't look at it twice if I was ever offered it, even junior artists would think twice...if I ever had to re make this movie it will be a life time block buster just by learning the mistakes from the whole movie itself script writer/ dialogues cameraman and the rubbish director...Ayesha Shroff if you ever go into production again make sure huni you do your homework, cause the movie Boom was not worth releasing or risking your house and life over...I'm surprised Jackie Shroff as superstar went ahead with releasing the movie when he clearly knew the Indian audience...so therefore Ayesha Shroff you are not just bolay like Jackie calls you, cause Jackie is dumb and your dumber...but Tiger Shroff your son rocks he will definitely replace the khan's few years to come, but please Ayesha don't make another disastrous movie with Tiger by risking your house again that will cost Tigers career the way it did to Jackie's Career...Back to the movie, when Jackie was pointing the fingers on the models boobs was disgusting it was disrespectable to women...you could had done that scene in a different and dignified way...Amitabh Bacchan looked complete pathetic...Javed Jaffery and seema Biswas came out shining the rest star cast appeared confused...I decided to watch this movie when I watched koffee with Karan, Jackie Shroff's Mrs Ayesha was talking about the movie Boom...bless her she was ever so emotional about the whole process of the movie before and after...If the movie ever had to be re made, they would need a better script, Dialogues,DIRECTION and decent realistic character names and actors who can act for sure... then the movie will rock...
I'm still in a state of shock, i think i may have officially seen the worst movie ever made, and believe me I have seen a lot of rubbish movies but I think I can safely say this is a number 1. I watched it cos a friend said it was really funny and laughable script.. but I definitely wasn't prepared for this. Though seriously how many types of class drugs could the 'director' possible have been on.. watever he's smoking I want. Plus is he trying to be tarantino wats with all the 'reservoir dogs' connections. I dunno much about indian movies but I thought amhitab is one of the respected type actors.. how did he get involved with this. As for the plot all I could get ,between the sudden cuts in the movie (probably happened later in the editing room once the weed ran out), is that there are 3 'baddies' whose names read like a fast food menu, Big Medium and Small and there are 3 model types,whose names I can't remember but I'd rather call Miss my knees never meet, Miss whiny I dont do anything memorable, and Miss no one remembers my face... and thru some this plot line these 6 ppl meet. Weird thing is burj al Arab allowed them to rent the hotel for this long.. bet the owner was on holiday or somethingId give it a 1 cos it really does make u laugh watch out for the sing and dance number at the bank robbery
Boom was a great concept with a great soundtrack. The publicity was great and of course what a great title. The title track with Ila Arun/Talvin Singh saved some of the film.It seemed that most of the film was shot in daylight, which already compromises the dramatic quality of the film. The director used master shots with wide lenses, which again compromises drama and character build up. It seemed that the script was so loose that nothing seemed to stick. There were no character arcs and the movie came to an abrupt end. Even if violence and flesh are the idea, there are ways to make it tantalizing and provide for tension. Moreover Kaizad's characters were not believable because he spent little time on each with very limited staging. If a character spends all his time in one room, or doing just one thing, we cannot be too interested in him. What we call 'Emotional Dynamics'.The motivation was missing, why were the Dons after the models, when they didnt have the Diamonds? The limited locations and bright sunlight really dampened the quality of the film. The only dramatic light was with the Shroff character. The film had tremendous potential and a great concept in the making but I guess they were in hurry to get the film made.I think Kaizad is a passionate filmmaker who has the guts to break new ground, but in doing that, it is not wise to try and break all the basic rules of story telling.
Well so finally we are here. After having waited for so long for this movie the only thing you get is frustration. The Movie lacks everything from direction to storyline to dialogues.What did Mr. Kaizad thought when he started this project? how could you possibly impress the indian audience with the extremely obscene dialogues (which was supposed to be humorous)....Uff! I cannot go on with the review... it's truly the worst movie of my life and those 2 hours the worst spent.
