Camera light pakarne se kuch nahi hota, emotion pakarna padta.
The trailers never appealed to me, it appeared that kind of film that I may not like. It turned out to be a average film, still much more than I thought it would be for me.
Bittoo (Pulkit Samrat) is a video camera shooter at marriages, very well known and famous. One of his mates who helps him in mixing and editing the work he shoots, suggests him a shortcut way of earning more money by shooting honeymoon couples through hidden cameras. Bittoo initially discards such ideas which appear bad to him, but when he has a big arguement with Mrinalini (Amita Pathak) whom he loves, and who wants him to start earning much more. Bittoo takes the path which his mate had suggested once. The rest story deals with how the chosen path changes his life in good or bad way.
There is slight resemblance of mannerisms between Pulkit and Ranveer of Band Baaja Baaraat. The first sequence of the film is completely over-done, how could a haldi ceremony be put on a hold just because a so-called video camera shooter hasn't come yet. And the girls saying 'meri le le' continuously made it very un-real to me. Maybe I haven't seen such ppl in life is one of reasons I couldn't quite connect to it.
I love the scene where Bittoo and Mrinalini have a major arguement, the fact that Bittoo wasn't ready to bow down towards rich people who aren't creative enough as he believes he is. Also, both the sequences in Shimla where Bittoo meets two different couples are very well directed.
But as a narrative, the film fails to make a mark, the writing in the final 20 mins especially is very average. Also, the dialogues become preachy in portions of 2nd half. The climax too filmy and predictable.
Kick lag gayi was the only good song in the album, and well choreographed. Rest songs are pretty average.
Pulkit Samrat delivers a good performance, thought I didn't like the looks of his character. A better film would reveal much more about his acting skills.
Amita Pathak doesn't have any screen presence, her acting is decent. Rajendra Sethi as mate of Bittoo is fine.
The guy who played the car driver in Shimla was very impressive.
Overall, Bittoo Boss fails due to a weak 2nd half and a subject thats handled in a preachy and unconsitent manner with dose of filmy sequences.
Verdict : AVERAGE
