Bumboo

You know that thing called 'thay-ter' - where people go on stage, speak really loudly, open their eyes wide and laugh uproariously to make their point? Well, 'thay-ter' can be good - but transported to cinema, it can stretch a bit thin. And feature some awkward moments - of which Bumboo has a few. Except for the 'thay-ter' - that wide-eyed overacting with incessant PJs, gay no-jokes, even some vomiting. Peppy background music lifts the bar frequently while cracks on screwdrivers and biwi-chors help. But Bumboo gets shafted by its lapses into lavatory humour - and too much thay-ter for cinema.

The good thing about 'Bumboo' is its climax. You can certainly laugh towards the end. And yes, Mika Singh's song during the credits is worth dancing.Message of the film fails to reach the spectator because Sanjay Mishra gives a really long 'speech' before coming to the crux of the matter.'Bumboo' is a film made with good intentions but somehow the makers couldn't transform the original idea onto the celluloid.You can always watch 'Bumboo' to support the storytellers who dare to go against the established market norms.

For most part after that it is the sharp-shooter (Sharat Saxena) and the photographer (Kavin Dave) who Bumboo you. If that is not enough there's a psychiatrist thrown in along with the photographer's wife (Mandy Takhar). To be fair, it is only Mandy who though made to act without a script impresses with her bit. If you are willing to get Bumbooed, do walk right in!
