Satyakant (Mithun Chakraborty) unknowingly kills a teenager and his eldest son, Boss (Akshay Kumar), takes the blame on himself. He's sentenced to jail. When he serves his term and is released, Boss moves to another city. Meanwhile, Satyakant's younger son, Shiv [Shiv Pandit], bashes up the Home Minister's son Vishal Aakash Dabhade, who's harassing Ankita (Aditi Rao Hydari), the sister of a top cop (Ronit Roy). All hell breaks loose at this point.

Cast

Production

Casting

Ronit Roy who portrays the role of Ayushman Mathur apparently, the antagonist of the film.

Akshay Kumar will play a kind hearted Haryanavi gangster, apparently known as Boss and Mithun Chakraborty will enact the role of his father. Shiv Pandit will portray Akshay Kumar's younger brother's role in the film and Aditi Rao Hydari is paired opposite him. Danny Denzongpa will play Boss's mentor and Ronit Roy will play a ruthless police officer who is pitted against Kumar. The film's trailer, which released on 27 August 2013 received tremendous response from critics and viewers alike. It crossed 3 million views in just 10 days.[4] Ronit Roy, who plays the role of a police officer up against the titular character, Boss marking the first instance where he is the antagonist of a film. It is also the second consecutive instance where his role is that of a cop with Shootout at Wadala being the last one where he portrayed the role of Inspector Raja Ambat, based on real life encounter specialist, Raja Tambat.[5][6][7][8] Ronit along with Akshay Kumar have an action sequence at the climax of the film, one of the highlights of the film which were shot in temperatures exceeding 47 degree Celsius in Thailand involving high octane stunts that were carried out in the end successfully by both the actors.[9]

Music

Ganesh Chaturthi, the celebratory festival occasion on which the film soundtrack was released with an Idol of Hindu Lord Ganesha to whom the 9th track of the film is dedicated.

"Lord Ganesha is considered to be the Boss of Gods. So we decided to have a version of the title track, dedicated completely to Him. It has the full Ganesh Chaturthi flavor with a lot of celebration and joy."[10][11]

—Director Anthony D'Souza speaking on the inclusion of the track.

"For the Ganpati special mix, we have used a lot of dhols and lejhim beats. It is Bappa after all, so even the song has to be more than special."[10][11]

—Music Directors of the film, Meet Bros Anjjan on the composition of the track.

Video promotional for the first and title track of the film was released on YouTube on 30 August 2013 on the official channel of T-Series, the music label which has purchased the music rights of the film and subsequently for legal purchase as a soundtrack single on digital music platform, iTunes.[12][13] The song named Boss Title Song composed by Meet Bros Anjjan, sung by Anjjan Bhatacharya,Harmeet Singh & Manmeet Singh consists of rap verses performed by Yo Yo Honey Singh with lyrics penned by Kumaar. The promotional video for the second song of the film composed and sung by noted Punjabi Singer and Rapper, Yo Yo Honey Singh and lyrics by Sahil Kaushal touted to be the costliest music video ever produced in Bollywood with a production cost of around 6 million (US$72,000) was released on 6 September 2013 after an effective promotional strategy of building hype around it by releasing two teasers named Aunty Police Bulalegi and Bajatey Raho respectively. The teasers containing snippets of the song of length 12 and 10 seconds respectively were both released on 5 September 2013.[14][15][16] The song Party All Night being marketed as an party anthem, earlier reported by Indian Media to be Sari Raat Party was made on a budget in excess of 6 million (US$72,000) with the fee of Sonakshi Sinha being 6 million (US$72,000) itself thus making it the expensive Bollywood music video ever shot.[17][18][19][20][21] For Sonakshi Sinha it marks her third special appearance in a song since she had earlier featured in the songs Go Go Govinda and Thank God Its Friday from the 2012 film OMG – Oh My God! and 2013 film Himmatwala respectively. In the former she appeared alongside Prabhu Deva and it also starred Akshay Kumar in a supporting role. Akshay Kumar, who portrays the title character, Boss and Yo Yo Honey Singh also appear in the track along with 600 foreign models hired for performing as background dancers. The dance moves of the track are choreographed by Sumit Dutt and Raju Khan with Sumit Dutt having earlier choreographed songs like Desi Beat, Dhinka Chika and Character Dheela from the 2011 films, Bodyguard and Ready respectively.[17][18][19][20] The song "Party All Night" was launched on television during grand finale of Dance India Dance Super Moms, a reality TV series. The reason for choosing the stage being Mithun Chakrabarty's or Mithunda's as he is fondly referred to by Akshay Kumar involvement in both the film and the TV show. He plays the role of Akshay Kumar's character, Boss's father in the former and is a judge in the latter.[22] The ninth track of the music album titled Boss Ganpati – Mix was added to the soundtrack later on request of Akshay Kumar and was recorded two days prior to the release owing to the huge appreciation of the title track which released 10 days ago and this is a version of the song with lyrics crediting the Hindu Elephant God Ganesh as the boss or king of all gods. The lyrics are written by Kumaar while the song was composed by Meet Bros Anjjan. This version differs from the original one in respect of lyrics pertaining to the Lord and use of Dhols and Lejhim beats. The track will be distributed free of cost across the Ganesh pandals across the city of Mumbai and the state of Maharashtra on the first day of Ganesh Chaturthi which will be visited Kumar himself to offer prayers also.[10][11][23] The song Hum Na Tode composed by first time composer P.A.Deepak who has previously mixed sound most notably for A. R. Rahman in Academy Award winning film Slumdog Millionaire and consequently won a Grammy Award for it. The track, Hum Na Tode is an adapted version of the immensely popular Tamil song, Apdi Pode Pode' or as it is known in Tamil Appadi Podu from the film Ghilli sung by Vishal Dadlani.[24][25][26] The song Har Kisi Ko Nahi Milta composed by Kalyanji Anandji for the 1986 film Janbaaz was re-adapted for the Soundtrack by Chirantan Bhatt and has two versions. One is sung by Nikhil D'Souza and the other by Arijit Singh.[24][25][26]

Koimoi[26]
Joginder Tuteja for Rediff[25]

Mohar Basu reviewed the soundtrack of the film for Koimoi. Flagging off the review acknowledging the much appreciation the soundtrack has drawn from its audiences owing to its high entertainment quotient and energy that is making its presence felt in each and every track of the film and stated that having four music director (Meet Bros Anjjan, P.A.Deepak, Chirantan Bhatt and Yo Yo Honey Singh) did not have a negative effect on the soundtrack. The songs with their lyrics and vibrant flavour "command an attractive fervor mostly". She reviewed each song individually.[26] The reviewer concluded the review saying though the album is not a musical masterpiece in terms of it composition but will ensure that the audience will have a good time owing largely to the "powerful entertaining zing" the album resonates more so with Hum Na Tode and Title track being the best among the 9 tracks as a whole.[26]

Joginder Tuteja reviewed the soundtrack album for Rediff. He started the review building on the fact the film with its title and setting of a masala or entertainer film needed an album without a single dull moment for its audience and it delivered just that. Commenting on the title song he credited it to be extremely impressive and the same time groovy at first listen itself. The mix of Hip Hop, Indian and Western sounds with a tad of Hariyanvi flavour and lyrics by Kumaar with the entertainment of masses being its foci working in the songs tremendous recall value which is extended further by the addition of another remix version of the song and a theme version with vocals by Sonu Kakkar and Khushboo Grewal. The second song, Hum Na Tode is an adapted track of hugely popular Tamil song, Apdi Pode. A fast paced addictive track, boasting of ferocious and aggressive vocals by Vishal Dadlani, composition by P.A.Deepak and lyrics by Kumaar it consolidates the albums positive impact on its audiences further. The next track Pitah Se Naam Tera a soft and subtle track after two fast faced ones. The track emphasizes a father's importance and comparing him to be no less than God. The reviewer appreciated the choice of Sonu Nigam as the singer, the backing vocals of Meet Bros Anjjan and alaps by Sanjay Misra along with the devotional appeal the song commands. The next song Party All Night composed and sung by Honey Singh according to the reviewer is the pick of the album and in spite of non-nonsensical lyrics manages to be an appeasing affair with a strong connect factor and at the same time maintains to hold the audiences attention from beginning till the end. Thus he upheld the track to be played at Discothèques till the New Year's Eve at least. The next track Har Kisi Ko a recomposed version by Chirantan Bhatt of the song of the same name originally composed by Kalyanji Anandji from the 1986 film Janbaaz. The song belonging to soft rock genre scores with the fact that it is not among the umpteen remixes or re-arranged versions that flood the music stands but one that creates makes its own presence felt by reaching out to its audiences more so with Nikhil D'Souza behind the mike in the solo version.[25]

He concluded the review stating This one is a winner!.[25]
