Trailer Synopsis Cast

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!

This is beyond doubt best Hindi movie I have seen. The story is fast and there are no prolonged emotional / crying scenes. It actually has a story / plot which is rare. Actors have all acted well and dialogs are good. From starting till end movie has been carried well and songs are also nice. The movie is also decent and can be watched with friends and family without feel awkward. The movie also teaches some very important lessons about life and eventually leaves the viewer happy and satisfied. I hope the readers of this review like the movie as much as I did.

Bluffmaster is one of the popcorn entertainers of the year with fun fast 2 hours, fine performances and of course its unique MUSIC. I did enjoy it than any other comedies last year except No entry which was also hilarious. What makes it different is it handled every aspect with equal importance. Whether it is Drama, Comedy, Music or of course Love. Surprisingly what I loved most after its Music is its Luv Estory Part. There is a scene when Roy (Abhishek) telling Sim (Priyanka- Hot in 'Come to me' number) about love affairs –"Biggest lie in this world is – I LOVE U- Jaise Time Bitata Hai LOVE Nikal Jaata Hai and only left behind is I n U". Then she argues over this as on same basis when Roy proposed her with same line if it was a lie. Watch Abhishek's response- 'Vo such tha Sim. 'Vahi To Ek Sach Tha'. This is my favorite scene in movie.As title suggests Roy(Abhishek) is bluffmaster looting (fishing in his language) and after making good money retired from the line and planning to settle with his girl-friend Sim(Priyanka). Which didn't work out as on engagement one of his tricked one shows up and leading to heart-break of Sim and blah blah. Roy is now longing for Sim making every possible effort to make her believe that he is changed. There is a very nice scene when he is sitting in the restaurant, ordering coffee after coffee that eventually persuades Sim to talk to him but she refuse to forgive him at any cost.We meet various characters- Dittu(Ritesh) who is now getting trained by Roy as a favor- Now kahani me so called twist is Dr. Bhalerao (Boman) diagnosed Roy is suffering from some last stage Brain Tumor. He has only three months. Boman gives theory of life where he explains how we live for 30 years but Only 30 were memorable? So make these 90 days memorable and live for another 90 years kinda. Valid indeed. End of first half we are introduced to Chandu (Nana Patekar). Dittu is seeking revenge from Chandu and it can be possible only if Roy help him out. Well, Climax turns everything upside down but I find it is well come surprise ending.On Downside it fails to keep high on certain sequences but not too long.Talk about its Music-It is awesome- One of the best varied collections of songs the year. Both Original and Remixes are like hitting bull's-eye. Fantastically choreographed Right Here Right Now I can watch hundreds of times for sure. Same is with 'Bure Bure'. Both have topped pub and disco DJ lists to get crowd wild.Bluffmaster wouldn't be same if casting would have been different and who is irreplaceable in all is Nana Patekar. He portrayed such a flamboyant character stealing scene after scene with cheesy one-liners. Favorite is "IMAGE!!!" and "Kis Liye? Picture Bahot Acchi Chal Rahi Hai..Parade Pe Fekane Hai". Nana is utilized here 100 % as Nana and dialogs have developed a vada-paav kinda relation. He is offered very best lines here and his colorful character never misses a bit. Rithesh, Boman and Priyanka made a well supporting cast. And Abhishek Bacchan who is getting better and better with every outing. Check out how cool he is in 'Right Here Right Now' number. Same in rain drunk scene, in Sim's Coffee shop scene.Honestly I went this movie with no expectation but left hall Ekdum Paisav Vasool.

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

Instead of spending all their budget on Priyanka Chopra's wardrobe, they should have invested it in developing the script further, or at least do justice to the many Hollywood films they ripped off to make this FLUFF-master!Abhishek Bachchan stars here as Roy, the ultimate Bluffmater (Bollyspeak for Con man or swindler), he can con his way out or into any situation but he does one too many when he cons a man picking up bounty money and the man later shows up at his (Roy's) wedding engagement to Priyanka Chopra's character. The wedding is off when the bride's family finds out about the nature of Roy profession and it's downhill from there. Roy tries to win his lover back but to no apparent avail. To add insult to injury, he is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and given three months to live. Or is he?The only person worth watching in this film is Nana Patekar who never fails to deliver, even in a film as dreary and as over-hyped as this one! I only saw this film because of Abhi and the hit song Right here right now, and even Abhi wasn't enough to help me forget how mediocre the whole ride was. And to think that Priyanka Chopra bragged about her performance in this film. "For every Umrao Jaan I have lost, I have gained a Bluffmaster" No you haven't Chicka! No you haven't!
