After a long long time, here comes a comic thriller, which will keep you glued to the seat throughout, and occasionally, make you fall off it by shocking you. A complete entertainer, Bluff master's biggest success is that you dont get bored one single time, through the ride. there are no unnecessary sequences, and the script is crisp and taut enough to keep the viewer interested, involved, and guessing what'd happen next, and the proceedings build up to a shocking, very well executed climax, which is rarely seen in bollywood.
Hats off to the editor for keeping the movie so tightly bound, and of course to the director for the near perfect execution of the climax, which, if not handled properly, would have gone wide off the mark.
After a very forgettable debut (kuch na Kaho), Director Rohan Sippy has done a great job to pull off, arguably, the best entertainer this year.
The plot is refreshingly different.
Roy (Abhishek Bachchan) is a conman, perfect in his art of deceit. Every person can be bluffed, his philosophy says, but there's nothing he can do, when Simmi (Priyanka Chopra) dumps him on the day of their engagement, after his real face is revealed. AB keeps trying to win her heart back, and in the meantime, meets Dittu (Ritesh Deshmukh), a small time con man, who looks up to Abhishek, and aspires to learn the finer nuances of the game from him. The story takes a turn when AB is diagnosed with a brain tumor, and has only 90 days to live. he now, takes up the task of helping ritesh get back at Chandru (Nana Patekar), a Hotel owner who had robbed ritesh's father long ago.
Do Roy and Dittu succeed in pulling one on Chandru?
Is Roy successful in winning back his lady love?
Does Dittu become a Big time Bluff master under the training of Roy?
All these questions build up to one superlative climax, which can be compared at the sudden twists in shyamalan's movies / Jeffery archers work.
One more thing that works big time for the movie is the casting. The entire cast is so well suited to their respective roles, that one can hardly imagine anyone else playing the role.
AB is in complete form this time around, and plays the part of a suave conman to perfection.
Ritesh Deshmukh is very natural and is definitely an actor to look out for, in the future.
Nana Patekar plays his role like it was written with him in mind. Rest all are competent.
The music is good. Dhol Wajda & right here right now are the two tracks that stand out.
Overall, a must awatch movie. Miss this at your own peril.
