Bollywood's definition of a teaser needs a rethink. The first look promo of Desi Boyz, almost two minutes long, feels more like a theatrical trailer, yet the creators insist it's just a teaser.
The Desi Boyz teaser, narrated by Sanjay Dutt, introduces us to the characters played by Akshay Kumar and John Abraham. The duo is seen strutting in suits and striking cool poses. "Ladies and Ladkiyan, pull out the cash for the desi lovers," says the promo, followed by scenes of money being thrown at them as they dance around women. Are they gigolos, love gurus, or just casanovas? The teaser leaves us guessing. Deepika Padukone is prominently featured, while Chitrangada Singh makes a brief appearance.
Desi Boyz marks the directorial debut of Rohit Dhawan, son of the renowned filmmaker David Dhawan. The film appears more polished and high on production values compared to David Dhawan's previous works. It has a Karan Johar-esque feel, which helps Rohit make a strong first impression. The promo is well-edited, features a catchy tune, and is visually appealing.
The big question remains: will the cool quotient of the teaser translate into genuine entertainment? Or will Desi Boyz end up as another forgettable comedy? The answer will be revealed on November 25, 2011, when the film hits theaters.
Desi Boyz is an upcoming Hindi action-comedy film directed by debutant Rohit Dhawan. The film stars Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, and Chitrangada Singh in lead roles, with Sanjay Dutt making a cameo appearance. The film is set to release on November 25, 2011.
The year is 2009, and the world is reeling from a financial meltdown. However, Nick Mathur (John Abraham) and Jerry Patel (Akshay Kumar) remain unaffected in their comfortable London pad. Nick is content with his successful investment banking job, a new bonus, and his beautiful fiancée, Radhika (Deepika Padukone). Jerry, on the other hand, is used to living off his best friend Nick, making the recession feel like home.
Their lives take a turn when Nick's company downsizes, leaving him jobless. Simultaneously, Jerry is informed by Social Services that his nephew Veer, for whom he is the local guardian, will be placed in foster care unless he secures a steady job. Desi Boyz is the story of two men forced into an unusual situation that brings them instant gratification but has severe repercussions, testing their friendship and everything they hold dear.
Desi Boyz began filming on November 7, 2010, and wrapped up in May 2011. Initially, Sonam Kapoor was considered for the lead actress role, but she declined. There were also rumors about Anushka Sharma being approached, which she denied. Eventually, Deepika Padukone and Chitrangada Singh were finalized as the female leads. This film marks the first on-screen pairing of Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, and Chitrangada Singh's first commercial venture opposite Akshay Kumar.
Desi Boyz promises to be a blend of comedy, drama, and action, set against the backdrop of a global financial crisis. With a strong cast and a promising directorial debut, the film has generated significant buzz. Whether it lives up to the hype will be revealed on November 25, 2011.
