Anupama Chopra's review: Boss is a cartoon designed to deify Akshay Kumar!!

Film: Boss
Director: Anthony D'Souza
Actors: ASkshay Kumar, Ronit Roy and Mithun Chakraborty
Rating: **1/2

The good news is that Boss is more palatable than that title and the promos let on.

Director 

Anthony D’Souza’s remake of Malayalam blockbuster Pokkiri Raja has a purposefully illogical but interesting story — well, somewhat interesting until the interval. It’s also got some bone-crunching action sequences choreographed by ‘ANL’ Arasu, and a terrific villain portrayed by Ronit Roy in full-blown sadist mode. His signature line is: "Maut ko toh yuhi log badnam karte hain; takleef zindagi deti hai".

Boss is essentially a cartoon designed to deify Akshay Kumar, so the storyline surrenders to set-piece comedy and action sequences.

The bad news is that Boss is essentially a cartoon designed to deifyAkshay Kumar, so eventually the storyline must surrender to set-piece comedy and action sequences and absolutely forgettable songs that celebrate the mighty Boss.
