Poster Boys

The Deol’s are back and this time they have ventured with Shreyas Talpade. Bringing to us something new, 'Poster Boys' promises to make us laugh out loud and also throw some light on issues that need to be addressed and acknowledged by us. 

We get to see Shreyas Talpade in the film as an actor and also are about to experience his work as a director for the first time. This is a remake of a Marathi film ‘Poshter Boyz’ and according to the response of the Marathi version, the film remained the talk of the town for a long time. We are surely looking forward to all the laughter coming our way!  

Here’s what the review says about the movie: 

Mumbai Mirror 

Inspired by real events, this remake of the Marathi comedy Poshter Boyz hopes to draw humor from the predicament of three men who unwittingly become ambassadors of nasbandi when their photographs accidentally make it to a PSA urging all to consider a vasectomy. A curious situation in itself, the ramifications of being branded sterile in a certain hinterland in India leads to social ostracising, being stripped off one's mardangi and much dirt being ricocheted onto their respective families as well. How the trio grapples with this infamy and navigates the bureaucracy that infests the workings of our government becomes the meat of the film.  

Deccan Chronicle 

First-time director Shreyas Talpade handles such a preachy issue in a subtle yet humorous manner. The comic punches of the film are too good. Few moments in the film such as using Sunny Deol's popular dialogues such as 'tareek pe tareek' and 'jab yeh dhai kilo ka hath padhta hai to aadmi uthta nahin, uth  jata hai' to the context of the scenes are damn funny. The 'Soldier Soldier' ringtone of Bobby Deol adds a lot of fun element to the film. The dialogues, especially in the first half, are comical.   

BollywoodLife 

The film starts with the three protagonists and how their life turns upside down because their image appeared on a certain poster about vasectomy. Story wise there is nothing much but it is the execution by debutant director Shreyas Talpade that manages to entertain. The film is extremely high on humor and the jokes are actually funny. You’ll find yourself chuckling and even bursting into laughter, quite a few times.  

India 

Poster Boys is a comedy of errors at its heart but it had ambitiously taken up the topic of vasectomy to make it more socially relevant. Thankfully, while there are ample jokes on the subject and the awkward situations the Poster Boys have to face are done in a lighthearted manner, the film never plays the issue down. In fact, there are scenes where there is a subtle nudge at the myths and taboos related to vasectomy.
