Plot

Shakalaka Boom Boom follows the tale of a jealous, selfish and greedy music artist, Ayan Joshi aka AJ (Bobby Deol). AJ is one of the finest music artists in the industry and is currently under a stop since he can't think of a new project. AJ is in love with the hot and sexy Ruhi (Kangana Ranaut) and hopes to tell her how he feels. However, a wannabe singer, Reggie (Upen Patel) appears who falls in love with Ruhi and woos her before AJ can. Therefore, AJ swears to destroy Reggie's career and hence comes into Reggie's life as his friend. Getting him drunk, getting him smoking, is all that AJ has been doing to Reggie, and Reggie even loses control and passes out. One day, AJ finds out all Reggie's secrets and gets him so drunk that his liver fails. While Reggie in severe pain, AJ takes all his music-notes, beats and flees the scene. Then Ruhi shows up and takes him to the hospital. He is admitted with liver failure. Ruhi plans to destroy AJ's career just like he did to Reggie.

Ruhi unaware that AJ isn't alone, he also has his hidden agenda with Reggie's ex-girlfriend Sheena (Celina Jaitly) who is now a big shot due to AJ. AJ and Sheena together release Reggie's music as their own which goes on becoming a big hit. At the time of signing music, Ruhi gets her gun out but gun doesn't work, she leaves the discotheque. Her leaving, disco ball randomly falls on AJ. He is rushed to hospital where doctors declare him brought dead. The ending shows AJ going to hell, and Reggie waking up to a better life as Reggie and Ruhi reclaim the ownership of their music.

Reception

Critical reception

Shakalaka Boom Boom attracted negative reviews from top critics of India. Mayank Shekhar of Hindustan Times rated the film with 1 out of 5 stars. [2] Shakti Salgaokar of DNA gave movie a one and half stars and wrote in his review, "It's simple — sexual innuendo, potshots at popular films, bad mimicry, foreign locations, a generous dose of overacting, an item song and a gora villain. And as he magnificently presents the climax of the film. Spare us the comedy, please?" [3] Nikhat Kazmi of Times of India said, "This one's definitely not for the fastidious, choosy viewer but for those who don't mind losing it for a bit, Shakalaka Boom Boom works like an average Bollywood musical. Performance-wise, it's one big circus with the guys hogging most of the limelight. The girls — Kangana and Celina — are mere confetti". [4] Taran Adarsh also gave it 1.5 out of 5 stars, saying "It's a well-crafted entertainer and lives up to the expectations of its target audience — the youth. At the box-office, its business at the multiplexes will help it generate good revenue, making it a profitable proposition for its investors." [5]
