Bol Bachchan is a 2012 Indian Hindi-language action comedy film directed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Ajay Devgn and Dhillin Mehta under Ajay Devgn FFilms and Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Limited respectively, with Fox Star Studios serving as distributor and presenter. Based on a script by writers Yunus Sajwal and Farhad-Sajid and a story by Shetty, it stars Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan, Asin, Prachi Desai, Krushna Abhishek, Neeraj Vora and Archana Puran Singh, [2] and is loosely based on the 1979 Hrishikesh Mukherjee classic Gol Maal . It marks Bachchan's and Devgn's fourth collaboration after LOC: Kargil, Zameen and Yuva .
Himesh Reshammiya composed the film's soundtrack with Ajay–Atul as guest composers on a dance number, with Amar Mohile composing the score. [3] The trailer was launched on 24 May 2012. [4] Bol Bachchan made a new record through advance ticket booking, and was released in cinemas on 6 July 2012, with a runtime of 155 minutes and an investment of ₹50 crore (US$6.0 million). [5] The film marks Shetty's last collaborations with Vora, who died 5 years after the film's release, and with Ashtavinayak, which was suspended from trading that year and eventually liquidated two years later, shutting down, thus making Bol Bachchan its last film project.
Earning over ₹1 billion (US$12 million) net from domestic markets and more than ₹235 crore (US$28 million) worldwide, Bol Bachchan became a critical and commercial success and was remade in Telugu as Masala in 2013. [6]
Abbas Ali lives in Delhi with his sister Sania, and loses his job when their relatives rob them of their ancestral property. Shastri, a family friend, convinces them to move to Ranakpur, where he promises to get Abbas a job at his boss Prithviraj Raghuvanshi's place. They arrive at Ranakpur and meet Shastri's son Ravi and his friends, who run a drama company.
While saving a child from drowning, Abbas breaks into a disputed temple, prompting Prithviraj's estranged cousin Vikrant to get involved. Prithviraj arrives at the scene, and Ravi tells him that Abbas' name is Abhishek Bachchan, to avoid any religious tensions due to a Muslim breaking a temple's lock. Prithviraj hires Abhishek Bachchan (Abbas) as a supervisor, and is revealed to be an eccentric and kindhearted man, who hates liars and punishes them severely. Sometime later, he spots Abbas celebrating Eid and confronts him. Abbas and the others lie that the man he saw was actually Abhishek's twin brother 'Abbas', an effeminate man and Kathak dancer. Abbas also lies about having a mother, and recruits a dancer Zohra to play the part, leading to hilarious situations as he tries to conceal his lies.
Prithviraj hires the twin 'Abbas' to teach Kathak to his sister Radhika. Radhika finds out Abbas' truth, but promises to keep it secret. Prithviraj's sidekick Maakhan begins suspecting Abbas when he watches Gol Maal, because the film's plot has many similarities with the drama Abbas is playing, and tells Prithviraj. However, Abbas narrowly escapes getting exposed.
Abbas gets closer to Radhika, but Prithviraj, who thinks that it’s the other twin Abbas, threatens him to leave her. Radhika pressures Abbas for marriage and leaves her home, but Vikrant, who still holds grudges against Prithviraj, kidnaps her. Abhishek (Abbas) and Prithviraj team up to rescue her. Impressed by his actions, Prithviraj plans Abhishek's marriage with Radhika and his own marriage with Sania, who resembles her earlier love-interest, Apeksha.
Abbas and Sania decide to reveal the truth to Prithviraj, but he learns about it from Maakhan, who was spying on them. Enraged, Prithviraj exposes Abbas and his group through a stage play, and pursues them in a mad chase, but gets stuck on the edge of a mountain as his car crashes, and Abbas saves his life. He then comes clean to Prithviraj, who forgives him, and promises to never lie again.
The plot and the characters of the film are based on the 1979 comedy film Gol Maal .

The film was originally expected for a Diwali 2011 release, though was postponed to 2012. [7] On Dussehra 2011, director Rohit Shetty who previously directed the comedy flick, Golmaal 3 (2010), did first give actor Ajay Devgn an offer for Golmaal 4, but Devgn claimed "Golmaal 4 will happen next to next year. It's necessary to have two years gap between the two Golmaal films. It's not good if it comes every year." After the announcement, it was added that Bol Bachchan will be made before Golmaal 4. [8] In January 2011, it was revealed that actress Asin was roped in for the first female lead after Bipasha Basu rejected the role. Earlier, actress Genelia D'Souza was signed to play the second female lead, but due to her differences with the makers, she opted out of the project and hence the role was offered to Prachi Desai. [9]
In Comedy Circus, Krushna Abhishek did a performance of Rohit Shetty never giving him a film role to do but having promised him in earlier seasons of the show. Rohit was so impressed by the performance that he decided to give Krushna a role in Bol Bachchan. Shetty also added co-host Archana Puran Singh from the same show to the film cast. It was revealed in the 300th episode special of Comedy Circus, where Rohit Shetty was a guest judge, that Paresh Ganatra was among the cast. [10] The film has been shot at various locations, [11] including Rohit Shetty's seemingly favourite Panchgani and Chomu Palace, [12] among other locations.

Bol Bachchan was released on 6 July 2012 in 2575 screens in India. [15] Upon release, the film received mixed critical response, but strong box office collections by the end of its first weekend. On the review aggregator website Top10Bollywood, the film scored 2.31, based on 34 reviews. [16]
On the positive side, Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film 4 out of 5 stars and said, "On the whole, Bol Bachchan is a dhamaal entertainer that has the Rohit Shetty stamp all over it. A film that pays homage to the cinema of the 1970s and 1980s, especially the ones made by Manmohan Desai. Big stars, big visuals, big entertainment, Bol Bachchan has it all." [17] Devesh Sharma of Filmfare also awarded the film 4 out of 5 stars and commented, "How we wish director Rohit Shetty had kept aside his passion of blowing up vehicles wholescale just this once. The exaggerated action scenes eat into the narrative and jar the pace. Would this film be a crowd pleaser– well yes. It's a good leave-your-brains-behind product that Shetty is famous for. There are flashes that suggest he could have gone beyond and made a more polished film but the lure of making a blockbuster proved too much, I guess. The masses would be happy but the same can't be said for the soul of Hrishikesh Mukherjee." [18] Srijana Mitra Das of Times of India gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and stated, "Rohit Shetty's latest movie has a constant up-and-down aspect to it, one sequence making you shriek in your seat with laughter, another sending your mind wandering off to the mundane. But at the very heart of things Shetty's madly in love with the movies and BB is his homage to that all-time classic, Golmaal." [19] Mrigank Dhaniwala of Koimoi also gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and concluded, "On the whole, Bol Bachchan delivers entertainment in huge dollops. For that, it will earn the love of the paying public and will have a successful run at the box-office." [20] Gaurav Malani of Times of India gave the film a positive feedback and said, "For a (pleasant) change, Rohit Shetty doesn't do Golmaal 'his' style. Rather he does Golmaal in its 'original' form and that's what creates a decent difference, making Bol Bachchan fairly entertaining!". [21]
Sukanya Verma of Rediff gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and stated, "Bol Bachchan is dispensable cinema, forgotten almost immediately after it's over. What I kept wondering is how does Asrani who acted in Mukerjee's acclaimed films like Chupke Chupke (1975), Abhimaan (1973) and Bawarchi (1972) feel about working in the remake of a film where the hero wore his kurta. Don't know what I'm talking about? You deserve Bol Bachchan. But if you do, you must have already begun scouting for your copy of Gol Maal somewhere." [22] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and commented, "If your nosy is not turned up too high, Bol Bachchan, less blaring than your standard Rohit Shetty comedy, can give you sporadic chuckles, and a few helpless laughs. Can't expect more." [23] Vinayak Chakravorthy of India Today gave the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and concluded, "Far from being LOL stuff, Bol Bachchan ends up being Bore Bachchan, with a lame climax." [24]
The film received some negative reviews. Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and said, "Even if you're a fan of Rohit Shetty's cinema, it's unlikely your chest will become a blouse over this one!" [25] Blessy Chettiar of DNA India gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and commented, "If you liked the Shetty Golmaals and Singham, this review will only be bol bachchan for you. Have fun while it lasts." [26] Ananya Bhattacharya of Zee News gave the film and said, "They say what can't be cured, must be endured. Once you give in to that adage and ask your white matter to exit the theatre, you will enjoy the film. Watch 'Bol Bachchan' just for laughing." [27] Aniruddha Guha of DNA India gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and stated, "Bol Bachchan, overall, falls short of being a laugh riot in spite of having the ammunition for it. In its current form, it's best enjoyed inebriated." [28] Anupama Chopra of Hindustan Times gave the film 2 out of 5 stars and said, "There is no attempt at plotting, storytelling, delineating a character, building coherence or following logic. Shetty’s only agenda is to give you a good time." [29] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave the film 1.5 out of 5 stars and concluded that "Bol Bachchan is a comedy so absurd that it could reduce you to tears of despair. Conversely, if you have the stomach for such rampant silliness, it might propel you into paroxysms of delight. The call is entirely yours." [30] Kunal Guha of Yahoo! India rated the movie 1 out of 5 stars and said, "Bol Bachchan (BB) jams chopsticks up the nose of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's comic classic Gol Maal and digs itself six feet under with it. While the story is the same in theory, being a Rohit Shetty film only adds some cars nailing somersaults, trucks attempting a ballet, baddies playing mid-air Garba after being biffed and Ajay Devgn drawing his eyebrows close enough to show that he means business."
