In recession-hit London, John and Akshay play the role of two friends, one a recently-fired MBA and the other a non-starter struggling with odd jobs, who take to being male escorts (through Sanjay Dutt's agency) to make ends meet. When John's fiancee (Deepika) finds his videos on YouTube, and walks off, John camps his silly trailer in her front garden and tries to win her back with the help of her father, Anupam, who loves sharing a beer with his future son in law. Akshay, meanwhile, needs to show the social services department that he is capable of earning money honorably in order to win back custody of his nephew, and goes back to finish his education (in 4 months), where he meets his college sweetheart (Chitrangda) who is now his Professor...
A weak storyline, poor execution and a lifeless soundtrack. Yet, for some light moments, and the pleasure of oggling at John, Akshay, Deepika and Chitrangda, depending on your preferences, Desi Boyz is not a bad one time watch. Sanjay Dutt is relegated to an extra, so is Anupam Kher, but Akshay puts in a much improved performance compared to some of his recent outings. And oh yes, Chitrangda scores easily over Deepika.. looking like smoking and smouldering lava. Unfortunately, she only makes an appearance in the second half.. talk about not exploiting your assets!
