Bumboo Review

What is it?

Directed by Jagdish Rajpurohit and produced by RCL Motion Pictures, 'Bumboo' is based on an original story L'Emmerduer written by Francis Veber (French writer-director with brilliant films like A Dinner Game, 'Bheja Fry' in Indian version). The film is adapted to suit Indian sensibilities by Jagdish Rajpurohit and Kavin Dave.

What is unique about this collaboration is that this is the first "official" Indo-French venture with TF1 International, France acting as an Associate Producer. The film, based on the template of a wholesome, young comedy is also being produced on 35 mm Cinemascope and boasts international production values.

'Bumboo' is a story based on the idea that in this life we all meet someone who comes and screws it all up (ya phir jisko bambiyaa bhashaa mai hum Vaat lagna kehte hai). Each character in the film screws someone's happiness which creates extremely humorous situations and rib tickling comedy.

'Bumboo' stars Kavin Dave, Sharat Saxena, Sanjay Mishra, Sudhir Pandey, Sumit Kaul and Mandy Takhar.

The Story

The story revolves around a bumbling professional hitman, a stock market scamster, a press photographer, cops, a psychiatrist, a bell boy, an ex-wife, her new boyfriend, a failed suicide attempt and a chain of hilarious events that spiral out-of-control when one mistake leads to another and best laid plans go awry. How the imbroglio is set right in the end is anyone's guess and what emerges is cheerful acrimony rather than sedate harmony. Yes, this is one film that turns comedy on its head and watches gleefully from a distance. Just as the audience will, once the film releases.

The Arrival

Bumboo - a film that will take you on a journey you will never forget - is releasing on 30th March 2012.
