Review: Bhuddah...Hoga Tera Baap

Verdict: Good!Fun!
"K" Rating: 3.5
Watch: Theater/DVD


Bhuddah...Hota Tera Baap, well certainly no one can say it as loud and clear as Mr. Amitabh Bachchan! In this film he is seen in top form - action, comedy, style, witty dialogues and oodles of attitude. As mentioned in the credits of the film, it is a tribute to Amitabh Bachchan from the 80's. The film revolves around him as he spoof's his own movies.

A Mumbai gangster Vijju (Big B) returns to the city from Paris on a secret mission. He has aged, but is in such top form that he can put the youngsters to shame. Thus this angry (old) man hates being called a "Bhuddah..". Add in a comic Villain (Prakash Raj) who is planting serial bombs and is out to kill the top cop ACP Karan (Sonu Sood) who has sworn to "clean up" the city. What follows next are punches, kicks, love, blasts, blows, bullets, awesome one liners and again love creating this funny action caper.Styling of Big B may catch you off guard as it is audaciously loud but it suits his character.

Vishal Shekhar's music accentuates the film very well, right from the title track to the medley tribute  Go Meera Go of Bachchan hit songs, to the soft soulful song Haal-e-Dil. Three songs out of the 4 are sung by Big B himself, it was nice to see him lipsync to Abhishek Bachchan in Go Meera Go. Raveena's item song "Chandigarh de star" is bit of a let down.

In a movie which has the towering presence of Amitabh, it takes a fine actor to hold their ground while sharing a screen space with the legend. Sonu Sood and Prakash Raj are such actors as they dazzle in their respective roles. Hema Malini suits her character. It was good to see Raveena back onscreen, but her role is half baked.

Grab your family and friends and head to the theater for this one. Whether you are a Bachchan fan or not, this is a fun watch if you love a good laugh Bollywood style.
