Bluffmaster!
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!

Surprisingly incoherent and boring
A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
In the year 2005, there were many con films like the crap though hit Bunty Aur Babli, Chocolate, Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena which didn't work and finally BLUFFMASTER.The film again had AB Jr again play a conman just like B & B. The film however is much more realistic(in comparison to B & B), it starts off well with a sort of tribute to Amitabh's DO AUR DO PAANCH type films. The romance is well handled, Also the con acts are well handled here, maybe discounting a few. The turn of events after Nana's entry are well handled though the climax doesn't register that well, though it's well handled but leaves plenty of flawsDirection by Rohan Sippy is good Music is good, There used plenty of songs for background music including Amitabh's DO AUR DO PAANCh title song,Arush's Boro Boro is good, while Sabse Bada Rupaiya is good too, Abhishek's debut song Ek Main fits well and is decent Camera-work is superb, Mumbai never looked so beautiful Abhishek Bachchan is excellent in a role, unlike B & B here he plays it more naturally and seems ideal for the part, though at times too serious perhaps Ritiesh is simply superb as Dittu, he endears himself and makes his act look likable Priyanka Chopra is decent, Nana Patekar steals the show as Chandrakant Parekh, he as always makes you laugh even with a straight face Boman Irani is underutilised but decent, Tinnu Anand and others lend good support
Bluffmaster is a delightful movie. The dialogues are crisp and far above average from Hindi film sentimentality. Abhishek Bachhan is a natural and I do believe that he is a far better actor than his very popular father. His Hindustani diction is leaps and bounds better than all the Khans combined. Nana Patekar is at his comic best as his sinister character belies the poet at heart. I was able to tolerate Priyanka Chopra in this movie, far better than the Barbie character she plays in Krrish. Boman Irani is funny. I do believe that much of the film is a mish-mash of lifts from western films of the genre and even some of the dialogues are plagiarized. But the Hindustani play on metaphors and aphorisms is what makes this movie so very fun to watch. The English subtitles do little justice to the rich dialogue in Hindustani.The songs are a wonderful blend of Hinglish.
When will Indian movie makers learn to give up copying foreign plots?? This is a lift of "Nine Queens" an excellent Latino film I had seen some years back. I guess the writer / director had one thing in mind "how to get a 1:30 Hr film to be a 2:10 Hr film", for that they arbitrarily threw in songs and boring plots and scenes. Boman for e.g. when explaining to Abhishek to live life the fullest is rather a drag. Everything from story, theme and camera movement are copied and does not suit the movie or the actors at all. I hear this movie is a box office success - ah well that goes to show what formula works for Indian cinema. This is only going to prompt other Indian directors and producers to attempt copies. So when Indian cinema takes 1 step forward (Rang De Basante) it is also thrown back 10 steps by movie attempt such as this one!
Roy (Abhishek Bachan)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 (Priyanka Chopra)-someone who is 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 (Ritesh Deshmuk) enters the picture.Despite himself or maybe he wants to take his mind off Simmi,he agrees to teach Aditya the rules for the game.I thought this film was fantastic And Abhishek and Priyanka Chopra were great together.
