Rohit Dhawan's 'Desi Boyz' is pretty much another typical retarded Akshay Kumar comedy that is set in London. Obviously Dhawan and his producers are ashamed of India that they had to film in rich Europe. Anyway, here's how the 'story' goes. Jerry (Akshay Kumar), whose original name is Jignesh but he's so ashamed of his Indian background that he replaces it with the name of one of the most famous mice is a dropout who gets fired from every job that he lands. Money is scarce and he has to face a social worker who threatens to dump his annoying oh-look-how-cute-I-am orphan nephew at some foster parents's dwelling.
Then there's Nick who recently gets let go of work. He's too proud to do any job that's below his qualification and would rather work as a stripper (but that's for later). His rich spoilt brat girlfriend (Deepika Padukone) thinks that people can't live on chicken role. Anyway, since Nick's too proud to accept a typist's job and desperately wants to shower his irritating girlfriend with lavish wedding, honeymoon and whatever nonsense, Dhawan portrays how desperate he is. So sad! (puke) Anyway, fastforward...a closeted pimp (Sanjay Dutt) invites them to his den. One thing leads to another and Nick becomes a stripper while Rocco, I mean, Jerry, becomes a harlot. They continue to screw around and eventually Nick's bimbo (Padukone) finds out and breaks off the engagement. Nick cries like an idiot and tries to justify his striptease to his fiancée. He also breaks up with Jerry.
Rocco, I mean, Jerry, loses his annoying nephew to some foster parents and apparently he's earned enough money from prostitution to pay tuition and room and bored for Trinity College. It's amazing how a dropout can get accepted to an established college so easily. In Trinity College there also happens to be an openly racist professor whom no one seems to complain about. There he meets a hot professor (A sensational Chitrangda Singh) who helps him pass his exam and graduate. She really is hot.
Fastforward...Nick and Jerry become friends again...fast forward...there's a trial in the end to discuss whether the kid should stay with foster parents or with Rocco, I mean Jerry. The trial also proves that all men in the movie, except for the two ex-strippers, are homosexuals. Jerry attempts to explain his prostitution. Now will he get the kid? (Dramatic music).
Oh, and amidst all this nonsense, there are some atrociously bad songs that are visualized like amateur wannabe MTV videos. The non-Indian cast is dreadful as is John Abraham. Akshay Kumar plays the usual comedic role he's played in almost every movie of the last 10 years. Deepika Padukone is okay at best. Chitrangda Singh oozes hotness. Too bad her role is so cut short. Writing, direction, sound effects, editing etc are terrible.
