Desi Boyz is a 2011 Bollywood comedy-drama film directed by Rohit Dhawan and produced by Krishika Lulla. The movie features the hit trio of Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, and Deepika Padukone in lead roles. It's a story of two friends who unwillingly become male escorts to maintain their livelihood and how they get entangled in a web of lies and deceit.
The film revolves around two childhood friends, Jerry Patel (played by Akshay Kumar) and Nick Mathur (played by John Abraham). Both of them are simple, hard-working, and ambitious men who live in London. However, fate has different plans for them as Jerry loses his job and Nick's investments go down the drain due to the global recession. With no jobs and no way to pay their bills, they both decide to become escorts to earn some quick cash.
Soon, they catch the attention of a rich divorced woman - Tanya Sharma (played by Deepika Padukone), who hires them for her personal pleasure. Initially, it seems that they have hit a jackpot, and their problems are over, but things start getting complicated when Nick falls in love with Tanya. Meanwhile, Jerry is struggling to hide his new profession from his family and especially from his nephew, Veer.
The rest of the movie follows their journey, how their lives get intertwined, and how they struggle to come out of the mess they have created. The movie has some hilarious and heart-touching moments and brings a fresh take on the subject of male escorts, which is considered taboo in Indian society.
Akshay Kumar has done a fantastic job as Jerry Patel, the cheerful and friendly guy who is both lovable and relatable. John Abraham, on the other hand, has portrayed the character of Nick Mathur with finesse, bringing out the sensitive and emotional side of his character with ease. Deepika Padukone has played the role of Tanya Sharma brilliantly, a confident and fearless woman who is not afraid to go after what she wants.
Apart from the lead cast, the supporting cast has also done an excellent job. Chitrangada Singh, who plays the role of Nick's love interest, has a small but significant role, and she has done it effortlessly. Sanjay Dutt, who plays the role of the owner of a strip club where Jerry and Nick work, has also done justice to his character.
The music of the movie is peppy and groovy, with chartbusters like "Subha Hone Na De" and "Make Some Noise for the Desi Boyz". The cinematography is top-notch, and the direction is crisp and clean.
Overall, Desi Boyz is a fun-filled movie that will make you laugh, cry and leave with an excellent feeling of entertainment. The movie is a must-watch for all Akshay Kumar and John Abraham fans, and even for those who want to watch an engaging and heart-warming tale of friendship, love, and redemption.
