Badmaash Company



Film: Badmaash Company (2010)
Language: Hindi
in Theaters

synopsis: 4 friends graduate from college and decide to start a "business" smuggling in foreign goods to India, thereby avoiding the heavy import taxes. Calling their venture "Friends and Company", they proceed to make a large fortune, smuggling expensive foreign goods in from Bangkok. They go to USA and more or less do the same thing. Entertainment and major drama ensues.

The Good
+ Shahid was super hot, I mean, hotter than I've ever seen him before.
+ the clothes were amazing!
+ the clothes they wore to con people were often hilarious, and there were quite a few funny moments.
+ pretty decent acting, and clever conning.

The Bad
+ 1994 never looked so good (obviously filmed with modern-day clothes). About the only thing consistent to the time was the lack of mobile phones.
+ very predictable, but 90% of Bollywood is.
+ nothing about the film, other than the clothes, really stood out as "OMG awesome!"
+ The music was mediocre.

Final Thoughts: Was it worth watching? Yes. If anything it was pure entertainment. I thought the actors had a good chemistry with each other, but apparently some news stories say otherwise.

rating: 3/5

Favorite Song: Chaska
