Bittoo Boss Movie Reviews

The sheer relief of watching a gifted new actor play, for a change, a good hearted, idealistic hero who sets off to make blue films and ends up sorting out problems between couples, is enough to make us not wince at the jagged edges which stick out here, there and everywhere in the narration. The presentation could have done with some more finesse, and a lot better packaging. But hey, the heart is in the right place

“I'm convinced we all are voyeurs. It's part of the detective thing. We want to know secrets and we want to know what goes on behind those windows,” said David Lynch. Not only has voyeurism given us popular films like Love Sex Aur Dhokha and Ragini MMS, it’s given the world classics like Rear Window and The Lives of Others. Booming TRPs on reality TV are evidence that we’re reaching out to the voyeur within. Bittoo Boss is the story of a guy with a camera

So why should you watch Bittoo Boss? You can see it’s made with love. The intention is honest and debutant director Supavitra Babul’s vision of an entertainer (under parental guidance) comes through.The real fun begins when Bittoo takes to making ‘billu fillums’ in a Shimla guesthouse. Even though the film wanders, with the first and second half almost disconnected, it is an earnest attempt. When it’s not trying too hard to impress, Bittoo Boss is worth at least a onetime watch.

I've always believed there is a fine film lurking within the inimitable kitsch of the shaadi video. Bittoo Boss tragically enough isn't that film, but it does touch upon the way a large percentage of our vicarious video-visiting viewership enjoys watching couples encapsulated in heart-shaped boxes and slow-motion twirls set 'artfully' to Ghazab Ka Hai Din. The craft of the wedding-video -- known all too well to anyone having attended more than

‘Bittoo Boss’ is an enjoyable enough ride until it goes off-track. Of the cast, it’s Ashok Pathak in the role of scrawny Shimla cab-driver Bikki who steals the film with his manic energy. Pulkit Samrat gives a confident turn as Bittoo, despite the Ranvir Singh-Band Baaja Baarat hangover that you can’t shake off. Samrat balances the character’s vulnerability and cockiness competently.

Final Verdict – Bittoo Boss is an earnest effort made by many debutants and is definitely a one-time watch but disappoints because of its half-baked script.

In the town of Anandpur, Punjab, no wedding can start without band, bajaa and Bittoo (Pulkit Samrat). He's the blue-eyed-boy of all celebrations, because he's the only 'sesky' (read: sexy) videographer who can turn any Katto into Katrina. Every time they see his lens, the kudis flutter their lashes and say, "Ab toh meri le ley" (sic). So much so, that even Bittoo is seduced for some behind-the-camera 'action'.

Don't be conned by the title, tagline or the theme track into assuming Bittoo Boss to be a cool, cocky or contemporary cinema. Alas the pun in the trailer doesn't transcend into fun in the film. Bittoo Boss is not bad but boring cinema. Bittoo (Pulkit Samrat) is your archetypal small-town boy with big dreams. He works as the local videographer of the town and aspires to shoot films someday. But when things don't go his way, he is lured into the business of blue films

Wide Frame Pictures and Viacom 18 Motion Pictures’ Bittoo Boss is about a wedding videographer, Bittoo (Pulkit Samrat), who is very good at making people happy by shooting heart-warming wedding videos. Bittoo stays in a small town in Punjab. At a wedding, Bittoo falls for Mrinalini (Amita Pathak), one of the girls attending the wedding. After the wedding, Bittoo pursues Mrinalini and the two spend some time together. One day, when Bittoo lands up

Raju is five feet five inches, dark and fat. He looked like he was in his late forties. He had a big paunch and was wearing a satin white shirt with black trousers. The one striking thing about him were his rings on his right fingers and boss, they were made of solid gold! Raju seemed to take watching the film very seriously because when everybody was joking and chatting before the start of the film, Raju was muttering something to himself while looking at the poster

A few minutes into ‘Bittoo Boss’, and you start to think that this might, just might, turn into the kind of hilarious risqué comedy Bollywood has been trying to create, inflated not by lazy vulgarity but smart writing. The suggestive lyrics of the opening song in which there are references to ‘giving and taking’ (sorry approximations of nudge-wink street-slang ‘lena aur dena’) featuring a strapping wedding videographer, make us smile and lead us to believe that we might be in for some tongue-in-cheek fun.

BITTOO BOSS is interesting in the first few reels. The energy thrown in by debutant actor Pulkit Samrat, who plays the protagonist, is noteworthy. The film relies heavily on Pulkit, and even though the lad makes an honest attempt he is not able to pull off the film. Though the sincerity of the makers is seen, the product per say is not packaged well enough to woo the masses.A good first half but a poor post-interval session.

Director: Supavitra Babul   Cast: Pulkit Samrat, Amita Pathak   Synopsis: Bittoo Boss is a young, charming, ingenious and a fun-filled......

We love to celebrate weddings. In real life. In reel life. It's that time when the family and friends get together. The fun, enjoyment and celebrations continue for several days. A wedding is an all-important occasion in our lives. No wonder, weddings play an integral role in our movies - either it's a vital sequence or the milieu. After regaling us with the very likeable PYAAR KA PUNCHNAMA, which gave an insight into urban relationships

The opening sequence of Bittoo Boss is pure delight. A large Punjabi family is gathered in the sprawling courtyard of an old-style house – the aunties have assembled with the dholak, the groom is waiting for his haldi, the uncles are fretting silently – but nothing can move forward, because the video-wala isn’t here yet. “Aaj tak koi rasam video-wale ke bina shuru hui hai?” says the sharp-tongued young woman in the fetching yellow choli, swinging her long black plait

If the trailers had made you wonder that this would be the next ‘Band Baaja Baarat’, you were grossly mistaken. And so were most other people. Amita Pathak and Pulkit Sharma barely make it to the cut. And ‘Bittoo Boss’ falls flat on its face, tepid and lacklustre.The film barely manages to hold interest, and apart from a few smart-alec, innuendo-laced songs, the others are just unnecessary. With a heavy dose of your average Bollywood clichés and below-average performances, ‘Bittoo Boss’ doesn’t entertain. It is a few precious hours of your life wasted. Invest them in something worthwhile!
