Plot
The film starts of with School Teacher Satyakant Shastri (Mithun Chakraborty) who has two children, Surya and Shiv. After Surya brawls with another child multiple times and eventually kills him, Satyakant kicks him out and disowns him. Years later, Shiv (Shiv Pandit) grows up as the only son to his father. It is revealed that after being disowned, Surya had saved the life of a transport businessman Tauji aka Big Boss (Danny Denzongpa) who had taken him in and raised him like a son for 15 years. Now, Surya (Akshay Kumar) has transformed himself into Boss, a suave, tough transport businessman who fights for justice.
Shiv falls in love with Ankita (Aditi Rao Hydari), who turns out to be the sister of a corrupt Police Officer named Ayushman Thakur (Ronit Roy). Ayushman is in cahoots with the corrupt and power hungry Home Minister, Pradhan (Govind Namdeo). Pradhan suggests to Ayushman that he should get Ankita married to his son Vishal (Aakash Dabhade). Ayushman agrees and decides that Ankita will marry him whether she wants to or not. Upon finding out she is in love with Shiv, he has Shiv arrested and convicted for crimes he hasn't committed. It's also revealed that Surya didn't murder his classmate. Instead, Satyakant accidentally impaled him when he shoved them into a room so that they would learn to deal with each other.
Satyakant then tries to bail Shiv out and calmly explains to Ayushman, but instead is humiliated and thrown out of the police station. Without any choice, Satyakant decides to turn to his other son, for help.
Boss meets Ayushman and convinces him to free Shiv from all charges alleged on him, telling him that Boss would kill Shiv when he is released from the police custody. Boss helps Shiv escape from custody. Pradhan sends his cops to capture Boss and take him to farm house of ACP Ayushman. Boss manages to escape from the goons, and reaches Ayushman's farm house. Pradhan calls Tauji there to complain about Boss. There in front of Tauji, Pradhan cancels his contract of killing Shiv with Tauji. After noticing the presence of Ankita there, Boss asks her whether she loves Shiv to which she replies positively. Boss takes the responsibility of getting Ankita married to Shiv in front of Tauji and her brother Ayushman. Satyakant and Shiv are attacked by a contract killer Jabbar Bhai sent by Pradhan. Boss kills Jabbar Bhai and his gang, saving his father and brother.
Twenty five of the MLAs of Pradhan are caught red handed at a brothel with prostitutes by media with the help of an unknown informer, later revealed to be Boss. Ayushman sets a trap against Shiv using the friend of Ankita and arrests Shiv in a fake rape case. Boss kidnaps son of Pradhan and sets a time bomb on him to get have Shiv freed from Police custody. Tauji informs Satyakant that Surya (Boss) did not kill his school-mate and that it was an accident. Satyakant rushes to meet Boss along with Tauji but their car is hit by a truck sent by Ayushman. Tauji survives the accident but Satyakant is injured and hospitalized. Finally, Boss brutally defeats Ayushman followed by a long fight. In the end, Satyakant along with Shiv is shown opening his arms calling Boss to hug and they reunite.

Production
Development
The director, Anthony D'Souza as well as the script writers during the scripting stages of the film were searching for a magnanimous character who could do justice to the role of Akshay Kumar, Boss in the film who is portrayed as a gangster who is ever-ready to help the needy and a larger-than-life character in the film.[3][4][5][6][7] They chose veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan as the narrator who would introduce Boss in the film.[3][4][5][6][7] According to reports Amitabh Bachchan was sent the script in advance and journalist-turned-producer Ashwin Varde, for whom the film marks his first project as a producer offered Bachchan the role personally over a phone-call which he readily accepted. Amitabh Bachchan in spite of his hectic schedule completed the dubbing session at the earliest, on 31 August 2013 at 8:30 pm IST in Juhu's BR Dubbing Theater that too within 30 minutes, to the crew's pleasant surprise he also improvised his lines as well.[3][4][5][6][7]
Casting
Akshay Kumar will play a kind hearted Haryanavi hero, apparently known as Boss and Mithun Chakraborty will enact the role of his father. Shiv Pandit will portray Akshay Kumar's younger brother's role in the film and Aditi Rao Hydari is paired opposite him. Danny Denzongpa will play Boss's mentor and Ronit Roy will play a ruthless police officer who is pitted against Kumar. Ronit Roy plays the role of a police officer up against the titular character, Boss, marking the first instance where he is the antagonist of a film. It is also the second consecutive instance where his role is that of a police officer, with Shootout at Wadala being the last one, in which he played Inspector Raja Ambat, based on real-life encounter specialist Raja Tambat.[8][9][10][11] Roy and Akshay Kumar have an action sequence at the climax of the film, one of the highlights of the film, shot in temperatures exceeding 47 degrees Celsius in Thailand and involving high-octane stunts that both actors in the end performed successfully.[12]

Soundtrack
—Director Anthony D'Souza speaking on the inclusion of the track.
Promotional video for the first and title track of the film was released on YouTube on 30 August 2013 on the official channel of T-Series, the music label which has purchased the music rights of the film and subsequently for legal purchase as a soundtrack single on digital music platform, iTunes.[15][16]
The song named "Boss Title Song" as composed by Meet Bros Anjjan, sung by Anjjan Bhatacharya, Harmeet Singh & Manmeet Singh consists of rap verses performed by Yo Yo Honey Singh with lyrics penned by Kumaar. The promotional video for the second song of the film composed and sung by noted Punjabi Singer and Rapper, Yo Yo Honey Singh and lyrics by Sahil Kaushal touted to be the costliest music video ever produced in Bollywood with a production cost of around ₹6 million (US$89,000) was released on 6 September 2013, after an effective promotional strategy of building hype around it by releasing two teasers named Aunty Police Bulalegi and Bajatey Raho respectively. The teasers containing snippets of the song of length 12 and 10 seconds respectively were both released on 5 September 2013.[17][18][19]
The song "Party All Night" being marketed as an party anthem, earlier reported by Indian Media to be Sari Raat Party was made on a budget in excess of ₹6 million (US$89,000) with the fee of Sonakshi Sinha being ₹6 million (US$89,000) itself, thus making it the more expensive Bollywood music video ever shot.[20][21][22][23][24] For Sonakshi Sinha it marks her third special appearance in a song since she had earlier featured in the songs Go Go Govinda and Thank God Its Friday from the 2012 film OMG – Oh My God! and 2013 film Himmatwala respectively. In the former she appeared alongside Prabhu Deva and it also starred Akshay Kumar in a supporting role. Akshay Kumar, who portrays the title character, Boss, and Yo Yo Honey Singh also appear in the track along with 600 foreign models hired to perform as background dancers. The dance moves of the track were choreographed by Sumit Dutt and Raju Khan, with Sumit Dutt having earlier choreographed songs like Desi Beat, Dhinka Chika and Character Dheela from the 2011 films, Bodyguard and Ready respectively.[20][21][22][23]
The song "Party All Night" was launched on television during the grand finale of Dance India Dance Super Moms, a reality TV series. The reason for choosing the stage being Mithun Chakrabarty's or Mithunda's as he is fondly referred to by Akshay Kumar involvement in both the film and the TV show. He plays the role of Akshay Kumar's character, Boss's father in the former and is a judge in the latter.[25] The ninth track of the music album titled Boss Ganpati – Mix was added to the soundtrack later on request of Akshay Kumar and was recorded two days prior to the release owing to the huge appreciation of the title track which released 10 days ago and this is a version of the song with lyrics crediting the Hindu Elephant God Ganesh as the boss or king of all gods. The lyrics are written by Kumaar while the song was composed by Meet Bros Anjjan. This version differs from the original one in respect of lyrics pertaining to the Lord and use of Dhols and Lejhim beats. The track will be distributed free of cost across the Ganesh pandals across the city of Mumbai and the state of Maharashtra on the first day of Ganesh Chaturthi which will be visited Kumar himself to offer prayers also.[13][14][26]
The song "Hum Na Tode" was composed by first-time composer P.A.Deepak, who had previously mixed sound most notably for A. R. Rahman in Academy Award-winning film Slumdog Millionaire and consequently won a Grammy Award for it. The track, "Hum Na Tode" is an adapted version of the immensely popular Tamil song, "Apdi Pode Pode" or as it is known in Tamil, "Appadi Podu" from the film Ghilli, sung by Vishal Dadlani.[27][28][29] The song Har Kisi Ko Nahi Milta composed by Kalyanji Anandji for the 1986 film Janbaaz was re-adapted for the Soundtrack by Chirantan Bhatt and has two versions. One is sung by Nikhil D'Souza and the other by Arijit Singh.[27][28][29]

Joginder Tuteja for Rediff | [28] |
Mohar Basu reviewed the soundtrack of the film for Koimoi. Flagging off the review acknowledging the much appreciation the soundtrack has drawn from its audiences owing to its high entertainment quotient and energy that is making its presence felt in each and every track of the film and stated that having four music director (Meet Bros Anjjan, P.A.Deepak, Chirantan Bhatt and Yo Yo Honey Singh) did not have a negative effect on the soundtrack. The songs with their lyrics and vibrant flavour "command an attractive fervor mostly". She reviewed each song individually.[29] The reviewer concluded the review saying though the album is not a musical masterpiece in terms of it composition but will ensure that the audience will have a good time owing largely to the "powerful entertaining zing" the album resonates more so with Hum Na Tode and Title track being the best among the 9 tracks as a whole.[29]
Joginder Tuteja reviewed the soundtrack album for Rediff. He started the review building on the fact the film with its title and setting of a masala or entertainer film needed an album without a single dull moment for its audience and it delivered just that. Commenting on the title song he credited it to be extremely impressive and the same time groovy at first listen itself. The mix of Hip Hop, Indian and Western sounds with a tad of Hariyanvi flavour and lyrics by Kumaar with the entertainment of masses being its foci working in the songs tremendous recall value which is extended further by the addition of another remix version of the song and a theme version with vocals by Sonu Kakkar and Khushboo Grewal. The second song, Hum Na Tode is an adapted track of hugely popular Tamil song, Apdi Pode. A fast paced addictive track, boasting of ferocious and aggressive vocals by Vishal Dadlani, composition by P.A.Deepak and lyrics by Kumaar it consolidates the albums positive impact on its audiences further. The next track Pitah Se Naam Tera a soft and subtle track after two fast faced ones. The track emphasises a father's importance and comparing him to be no less than God. The reviewer appreciated the choice of Sonu Nigam as the singer, the backing vocals of Meet Bros Anjjan and alaps by Sanjay Misra along with the devotional appeal the song commands. The next song Party All Night composed and sung by Honey Singh according to the reviewer is the pick of the album and in spite of non-sensical lyrics manages to be an appeasing affair with a strong connect factor and at the same time maintains to hold the audiences attention from beginning till the end. Thus he upheld the track to be played at Discothèques till the New Year's Eve at least. The next track Har Kisi Ko a recomposed version by Chirantan Bhatt of the song of the same name originally composed by Kalyanji Anandji from the 1986 film Janbaaz. The song belonging to soft rock genre scores with the fact that it is not among the umpteen remixes or re-arranged versions that flood the music stands but one that creates makes its own presence felt by reaching out to its audiences more so with Nikhil D'Souza behind the mike in the solo version.[28]
He concluded the review stating This one is a winner!.[28]
