Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By Indicine - Indicine Team
Boss turns out to be an unexpectedly enjoyable fare with a rather potent mix of comedy, drama, action and romance. Akshay Kumar’s star power and charisma powers Boss from an ordinary fate to an above average outcome. If you are in the mood for some harmless fun this festive season and if you don’t like to nitpick when it comes to movies, give Boss a chance.
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By Bollywood Hungama - Taran Adarsh
Director Anthony D'Souza tweaks the plot of POKKIRI RAJA to meet the needs of the time and make it more identifiable to the Northern audience. However, what remains intact is the intent of providing unabashed entertainment. Sure, the plotline is no great shakes -- perhaps foreseeable too -- but the screenplay is watertight, with no scope for bland and unexciting moments to seep in. Besides, Anthony maintains stability in both the halves, with ingredients that constitute a well-made masala fare peppered generously from commencement to conclusion. Besides, the film bears a slick look all through, with a couple of sequences leaving an indelible impact.

Boss, needless to say, is Akshay Kumar’s film all the way and there are several moments in it when he comes across as perfectly cut out for such antics.
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By Zeenews - Subhash K Jha
This is a fast-paced, zany, full-on masala fare. There is a tempting swagger to Akshay`s performance matched by the narration`s tidal tempo. Irresistible energy and endearing gusto underline the show`s voracious appetite for a comic kill.

At around 2 hours and 25 minutes, Boss is way too long. There are very few scenes that are actually funny in this supposed entertainer.
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By Nowrunning - Mansha Rastogi
Boss, typically so, isn't a story with lots of action; it is a film on action with little story slipped between the plenty fight sequences just to make it palatable. It's quite an apology when the story becomes just a formality in a film to weaves together masala sequences. Similar is a case of Boss which is nothing but piecing together cinema of the '90s of Gandhian father, rebellious son, the emotions, the romance and the villains.
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By India Today | Faheem Ruhani
There is enough maar-dhaad which is at least well-executed by the film's action director. There is music which is credited to four people but it is not something to which more lines should be devoted. Every character in this boss is a sample you have seen before. The jokes and gags rely too heavily on smart alec-y puns which are at best puerile. The story, plot be damned, let's just do anything as Akshay Kumar says, "Apne ko toh bas paani nikalne ka." Does it mean we are just interested in reaching the Rs.100-crore mark? And that's why we made this film?
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By Bollywood Life - Prathamesh Jadhav
Boss is a mindless, illogical masala film that entertains in parts, especially in its goofy one-liners. But it is a cliched story, with the characters painted either black or white without a hint of grey. D’Souza tries too hard to make the drama emotional by hastily shoving in a couple of melodramatic sequences. On the plus side, this one gives Akshay a free hand to indulge in what he has been doing for close to two decades now – relentless maar dhaad with his trademark scornful smile, throughout the movie.
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By Economic Times - Gaurav Malani
You have to give it to Akshay Kumar to be able to pull off his tomfoolery with his casual charm. However mundane the action is and however predictable the plot is, he still manages to bring in an element of unfussy freshness to his character. Unfortunately he is unable to singlehandedly bear the burden of the entire film in absence of freshness and female lead.

Akshay fans will have to be patient as he makes his entry a little late in the first half of the film. Even though the wait is worth it, there is a sense of uneasiness as we wait for Boss to make his grand entry. The flashback scenes with the child actors narrating the backstory seem a bit jarring and could have been better edited. Mithun and Parikshit Sahani's repartee is weak and some times unnecessary. Also the scene leading up to the big climax with Akshay and Mithun exchanging some emotional moments could have been written in an more unconventional way.
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By India Today - Vinayak Chakravorty
Boss once again underlines the aimlessness that has largely dominated Akshay's career in his race for the top. The film rides his stardom from the moment he enters the frame about 40 minutes into the runtime. Only, what follows has nothing new to offer.
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By Rediff - Sukanya Verma
Director Anthony D’Souza’s Boss is hell bent on assaulting the eardrums and senses with a vigorous spectacle of muscle-crunching/tossing/swirling/coiling action, a screeching soundtrack (including an awful remix of Jaanbaaz ditty, Har kisiko nahi milta) and dumb, pedestrian humour.
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By India Today - Saurabh Dwivedi
The film which was shouldered on only two people - Akshay and Ronit - did exactly as expected. Akshay delivered some masterful fight sequences, fast-paced chasing scenes and strong dialogue delivery. However, his comedy skills were not as impressive. Ronit Roy was also successful in maintaining the harshness and cruelty till the end, that his character was expected to deliver.
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By Sify - Sonia Chopra
Akshay Kumar is in form and despite his severe gelled look, shows off his comedic timing and that sincerity he manages to communicate through screen. Mithun tries hard to bring some semblance to his character. Ronit Roy is a fine actor, but doesn’t make this antagonist formidable enough to make a mark.
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By Indian Express - Shubhra Gupta
Anthony D'Souza had directed Akshay in the execrable Blue before this, and for a while there was some scary talk of there being a sequel. Maybe Akshay on land is better than Akshay in the sea, but by very little. In a sequence or two, when he shows his comic timing, you know that this is a star who can be so much better. But not when he has to mouth dialogues where every double meaning is flung into the mix (bum-chiki-chiki-bum equals a bomb-in-a-human- bum equals "gas chhodna"). And definitely not when his repertoire is filled with snarls and grimaces and hacking body parts.
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By The Times Of India - Renuka Vyavahare
A remake of 2010 Malayalam film, Pokkiri Raja, Boss is a formulaic action comedy. There are truckloads of stunts throughout and whatever falls in between constitutes the plot so don't expect logic. It seems the action was probably chalked out before and the 70's-like melodramatic story was inserted later as filler, which explains why most characters end up being silent spectators, once Akshay makes an entry. The very vicious ACP Ayushman Thakur (Ronit Roy, brilliant) in particular gets easily outplayed by our Haryanvi hero. The romantic track between Shiv Pandit and Aditi Rao Hydari is terribly inconsequential.
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By India Today - Suhani Singh
Boss is a formulaic action-comedy in which the only risk the makers take is to not give the hero a heroine. But that doesn't stop Kumar, also one of the film's many producers, to rope in Sonakshi Sinha to dance with him in two songs. There's romance in the form of a love story which is so tepid that even the couple - Aditi Rao Hydari and Shiv Pandit - look bored out of their minds. Mainly, Boss is a story of a son's quest to win over his estranged father.
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By Movietalkies - Jaidev Hemmady
Anthony D'Souza’s Blue might have sunk without a trace, but with Boss, which is the remake of South hit Pokkiri Raja, the director manages to entertain without leading to much mental strain. In short, Boss is a masala flick and might remind you of earlier Akki films such as Khiladi 786 and Rowdy Rathore, but Akshay being a true Khiladi, the film won’t fail to score well with fans of the action-comedy genre. The humour is cheeky, the songs are fun (Honey Singh, take a bow) and the action is impressive.
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By IBNLive - Rajeev Masand
Only occasionally you catch glimpses of Akshay's famed comic timing, especially in a scene in which he mock fights with Shiv to throw off the bad guys. Talented actors like Mithun Chakraborty, and even Danny Denzongpa, playing Akshay's adoptive father Big Boss, are completely wasted, while Ronit Roy as the permanently scowling cop appears to be the only actor taking this drivel seriously.
Boss Movie Reviews Recomended By Dailybhaskar | Dailybhaskar.com
Director Anthony D'Souza has failed to deliver an entertaining film despite controlled direction. There is too much of drama and less of humour which kills the basic idea of this film. Barring two or three scenes, you can just smile at funny acts! Maybe, this is due to the repetitive and mundane ideas.

The writing department just doesn't care enough to be taken seriously. With the numerous complications added to fill in the story, the writing completely loses track from where it starts.
