The year is 2009. The world has been struck by the financial meltdown. But Nick Mathur and Jerry Patel don't feel a thing in their comfortable pad in London.

Nick feels smug with his successful investment banking job, the new bonus in his pocket and his beautiful fiancé, Radhika, by his side, while Jerry is so used to scraping the bottom of the barrel and living off his best buddy Nick, that recession feels like home. But life has a way of pulling the rug from under our feet.

Nick and Jerry stop smiling the day Nick's company decides to downsize and unceremoniously fires him. And Jerry is informed by the Social Services that his nephew Veer, whose local guardian Jerry is will be placed in a foster home unless he gets a steady job.

Desi Boyz is the story of two men who are forced to do something extremely bizarre which gives them instant gratification but the repercussions tear them apart and its aftermath which tests everything including their friendship.

What fails 'Desi Boyz' in the end is that it's such a generic, indifferent film

We’d have willingly suspended disbelief had it been fun. But it grates. It’s exceedingly torturous...

A facile, derisive and preposterous comedy

The film did make me laugh out loud about twice. If your expectations are that low, you may not be entirely disappointed with Desi Boyz.

Even though there is much contrivance in the unoriginal plot and women are relegated to background dancing, Kumar and Abraham make Desi Boyz work as a buddy movie, making it perhaps, the best of the worst this year.

A film that paints so ridiculously rosy a picture of the gigolo life that it plays like a recruitment film sponsored by pimps

A fast-paced, breezy film that manages to do everything it does in an endearingly goofy sort of way that's often actually funny

Desi Boyz, despite all flaws, provides for wholesome desi entertainment. An enjoyable one time watch

Desi Boyz has an entertaining first half and decent performances as its plusses, but a tedious and least compelling second hour stands out like a sore thumb
