Details

Roy is a professional conman, who has raised his work to the level of an art. The only true thing he has is his love for Simmi someone who is so rooted, honest and sincere, that he can't bring himself to tell her the reality of who he is. But when his past catches up with him, she cannot forgive him for the deceit their relationship is built on. He loses her forever. That's when Aditya Srivastav enters the picture. He is the counterpoint to everything that Roy is as frantic as Roy is calm, as dumb as Roy is smart, as messy and untidy as Roy is smooth. They have only one thing in common. Aditya is a conman too. At least he thinks of himself as one. In Roy's book, he's an embarrassment. But one that won't go away!

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
qi_lau Bluffmaster is one unique masterpiece. When you think about it, it's a masala film. When you analyze it, it's not a typical masala film. It's nice blend of action, suspense, comedy and drama.Abhishek Bachchan is the star of the movie. Most of his roles are usually the supporting one and he is usually overshadowed by the Roshans, Khans & Big B. It is very nice to see him as the hero of the movie. He played "Roy" with utmost sincerity & tons of attitude. He suits the role very well, from the looks & everything else in between.Priyanka Chopra's character blended very well in the story. Most heroines in Bollywood are just a "decoration" to the movies, but Simmi's character begs to differ. Her character is not a Barbie doll, rather, her role is very logical & refreshing compared to others. Nice performance, indeed.Ritesh Desmukh has a nice timing for comedy. He knows when to make the joke. And he's also good at the dramatic scenes in the movie.Boman Irani plays his character very well. 50% serious & 50% funny best describes his character here. It is challenging to portray and I can say that played the role very well.Nana Patekar is the show-stealer. Good transition from the bad & dangerous gang leader to the tree-staying guy. He's very convincing as a villain and I can say he's really cool.Costumes - Love it. Very urban and modern.Dialogue - This movie has the wittiest lines in the history of Bollywood.Songs - The songs fit the movie well, which is very urban (and I'm a big urban music fan).All in all, 9/10
kitman92 This movie was good in a way. When i first came in the theater i had the impression this was going to be a classy movie with likes of Priyanka Chopra, Abhishek etc. But it truly disappointed me. Just before this I had seen Ek Ajnabee and this was awesome acting, good plot etc etc, but it was a copy, of Man on Fire. Bollywood cant get enough of Hollywood. Back to Bluffmaster. Everyone acted well, agreed, the screenplay was good, and the songs were OK not like those boring line dancers you normally see in Bollywood,the jokes were funny,but u won't go home and comment on the jokes in the movie. They weren't great but there was a laugh here or there, but after i got out of the theater i felt i had wasted my money for both the tickets, both were through and through copies. Bluffmaster is a copy of Matchstick Men. Bollywood needs to come up with there own plots. They have actors, directors, producers, sets and money. They just need to sit down and think of a plot and not take one from Bollywood.Bollywood cant get enough of Hollywood
Aam Aadmi For those who have not seen the original (and I suspect there are a lot of them in India) this is a copy of 'Matchstick Men' starring Nicholas Cage, Sam Rockwell and Alison Lohman.The story is about Roy (even the central character is identical as if they're giving us a hint!) who cons everyone until he takes a protégé, played here by Ritesh Desmukh. When Roy learns of his life-threatening brain tumor (how convenient for the scriptwriter!), he decides to pull off the last "big one" by conning hotelier Chandru (Nana Patekar). What happens next is what happens with every other B-movie. So don't hold your breath.Bollywood's gotten so brazen and shameless at copying it is appalling. Recently, Bunty Aur Babli was copied from Bonnie and Clyde, Dansh is a copy of Death and the Maiden, Kante was a mish-mash of Reservoir Dogs/ Usual Suspects, and on and on and on. And that Bhansali idiot never did acknowledge the credits for his Black, nor obtained the rights. After that miserable piece of crock, he's been 'Black'-listed as yet another bogus, B-grade Bollywood wannabe.Boy, when and where will these third-rate thieves stop??? This is worse than Chinese piracy where they just sell copies of the original but not try to re-invent it! At least you can try to enforce copyright laws if only as deterrent. How do you stop these so-called "slight adaptations" and "loosely based ons" Indian filmmakers are getting away with??
Zeya B Abhishek has come a long way. He can dance, sing, act, and entertain. If you have seen Michael Douglas starred "The Game" you will see the inspiration part and truly well inspired and not copied!The movie is very well made. Song and dance are well timed and consumed well in the movie. Interestingly, some of the background music is remixed old songs, which makes it really fun without mediocrity. The movie is not cheap and very well finished even though it has a lot of tapori factor to it, executed with class. Abhishek's rap is awesome, he has done it in style and he can do it.Actors are utilized very well and have done excellent justice to their character. Nana Patekar is hilarious especially in the end. Priyanka is beautiful and delivered her acting very well. One of the most interesting characters is that of Omar, he must have about 10 lines of dialog in the entire movie of which 2 you will hear completely rest are all beeped! In fact, as he appears on the screen the beep starts in a very hilarious way.On the whole I recommend this movie with no second doubts.
