Concluding Lines: Rajesh has yet again pulled off with literally a null storyline. Rajesh scores because the movie is a family entertainer bounded with healthy comedy with no vulgarity in dialogues or scene depictions. The Limelight of the movie, however, is Santhanam. The film works greatly only for the chemistry between Santhanam and Arya. Nanbenda!!!
A good start is half the job done and Rajesh seems to have concentrated real hard on the dialogues. As a result, the hollow screenplay is tactfully saved from plunging into the depths of action-less monotony. Although the movie stretches itself without any effort by the sheer success of the dialogues, Santhanam’s spontaneity stands out in the process and it renders the movie a definite thrust.
Arya is an innocuous young man who is also spoilt. He’s not loose cannon but thanks to his mother’s unhindered love, he slacks in his studies reappearing in exams after arrear exams without any demonstrated success. His brother, played by Subbu Panju - Panju Arunachalam’s son, earns enough to run the family and hence Arya needs only half a reason to take advantage of the situation. He eventually falls for the cupid’s bait and falls hook, line and sinker for Nayan – sister of his newly married brother’s wife.
But to ask Nayan’s hand in marriage, he needs to prove himself in life. So begins Arya’s journey for the greater good – his own wedding.
As is evident from the storyline, the movie has no scope for interesting twists to keep the viewer engaged for the most part. So the deficit is compensated in the name of dialogues and interesting comical sequences. Sample this: Arya walks out of his home after being reprimanded by his brother. It rains outside and while Arya walks away, his brother brings an umbrella. Arya, in the hope that his brother is coming to get him home, refuses to go home. On the other hand, his brother tells him, “Don’t come back home for the lack of an umbrella. Here it is.” Scenes like this do work and keep the narrative from sagging.
The smoky eyed Arya is at ease with himself and if not for his recurrent toothy smile, he risks looking doped. The once exuberant Nayan looks overworked and dead beat. But she makes it up in the song sequences, particularly in the songs Yaar Antha Penthan and Mama Mama. Speaking of which, Yuvan’s those two songs stand out while the rest are passé.
Santhanam is a riot and if there’s a full paisa vasool feeling after you watch this movie, attribute it to him. His wisecracks, one-liners with and without intended puns and the constant ‘Nanbenda’ are takeaways in what would have otherwise been a bland fare of mushy romance. Not many jokes in this fare fall flat, which shows the good writing.
Director Rajesh might just pull it off this time too because he’s got everything right for a comic caper. He also efficiently camouflages the saggy little portions in both the halves of his movie with crisply written dialogues. Perfect for a weekend in which you decide not to give your brain much work.
Director M. Rajesh, whose first project Siva Manasula Sakthi (SMS), grabbed the attention of one and all was a feel-good entertainer. SMS went on to score well in the box office too. The trailer and promos of Boss Engira Baskaran is quiet interesting to watch and has already caught the attention of audience. The trailer also reveals that this would be a laugh riot too with Santhanam tagging alongside Arya.
Boss Engira Baskaran is produced by K.S. Sreenivasan's Vasan Visual Ventures which also produced Naan Kadavul, again with Arya in the lead. Nayanthara is the heroine in BEB with Santhanam as Boss' 'Nanbenda' in the movie. Sakthi Saravanan has filmed the movie and Yuvan Shankar Raja has scored the music.

Rajesh promises that BEB would be more hilarious than SMS. Arya who is shaping up well as a versatile artist, is a happy-go-lucky person in the movie. He takes everything lightly and does not make a fuss about anything. So much so that he falls in love only with his lecturers and married women - for fun. Tired of his antics, his family asks him to go out of the house. Arya meets Nayan, falls in love. Does he marry Nayan? Does he change for good or is fun the way for him? BEB would answer all your questions without forgetting to make you laugh.
Arya stars with Nayanthara for the first time in his career. His role in the recent smash-hit Madarapattinam was widely appreciated. It would be interesting to see him act in a different shade though he has already done funny and comical roles in Arindhum Ariyaamalum and Oram Po. Nayanthara can be seen on the silver screen after a hiatus. Her last movie in Tamil was Aadhavan though we saw her in a small cameo in Goa. She would be keeping her fingers crossed to make a comeback in Tamil.
Yuvan Shankar Raja has scored the music for the movie and has given some chartbusters. The film has five songs with attractive voices and music. The audio for BEB was launched on August 27, 2010 at Sathyam Cinemas. The lyrics have been penned by Na. Muthukumar. Sakthi Saravanan who worked with Rajesh in SMS has taken care of the cinematography department.
As the film's backdrop is set to be both village and city, the film has been shot at various locations including Thanjavur, Mysore and Trichy. A major part of the film was filmed at Kumbakonam, while a few scenes were shot in Chennai as well. Shooting was also carried on in the Swiss Alps, where some song sequences were picturized.
While Vasan Visual Ventures produced this film, Arya purchased the rights to release it under his own production banner 'The Show People'. The film's distribution rights, however, were again acquired by Red Giant Movies, led by Udhayanidhi Stalin. It is interesting to note here that Udayanidhi Stalin would be the hero of Rajesh's next movie.
With a star studded cast, a star technical crew and a promising director, BEB certainly has raised expectations among cine-goers. Fans of Nayanthara would surely cherish seeing her on screen after a long time. With Bale Pandiya having a decent opening and Drohi releasing on the same date, BEB can only charm everyone if Rajesh has struck the right chord. Good luck Boss!
P.S: Jeeva, who was Rajesh's first hero, would be doing a cameo in BEB.

Boss Engira Bhaskaran, starring Arya, Nayanthara and Santhanam, is getting ready for release on September 10.
The film is directed by Rajesh and is a light hearted romantic comedy which will appeal to all sections of the audience. Boss Engira Bhaskaran is the story of a middle class family that faces common issues.
Arya play a happy-go-lucky guy who, though he doesn't do anything serious in life, helps others. Nayan plays a practical girl.
The film, which has been snapped up by Udayanidhi Stalin's Red Giants, will have a grand release.
Review by : Malathy Sundaram
Music Director : Yuvan Shankar Raja
Vocals : Satyan, Haricharan, Karthik, Vijay Prakash, Vijay Yesudas, Swetha.
Lyrics : Na.Muthukumar
Produced by K.S.Srinivasan and Arya, this movie is directed by M.Rajesh (of ‘Siva Manasule Sakthi’) and it stars Arya, Nayanthara, Santhanam, Rajendran, Chitra Laxman, Lakshmi R and others. Yuvan Shankar Raja takes charge of the music department. The album lists 5 songs. All lyrics are by Na.Muthukumar.
Ada.. Boss..Boss...
Vocals: Satyan
A lighthearted introduction of the hero who conforms to the present ‘college-goers’ tradition. Delightful arrangement of live percussions adds easy gaiety to the song. Based on the Karaharapriya scale with the lightest touch of Harikamboji, this song is sunny-especially the two music interludes before the charanams and the neat use of the ‘ma’ swara.
Yaar Indha Pennthan...
Vocals: Haricharan
What a lovingly spaced out song in terms of rhythms! You are able to savor the lyrics of the bemused lover boy as well as the Natabairavi raga used here. Haricharan has another hit on his hands (after ‘thuli thuli’ from Paiyaa).Again the interludes –from the keyboards, flute and strings are so soothing- and the first one, one and a half minutes into the song that plays upon the notes ‘sa ga ga ri ni sa’ and ‘pa dha ni sa’ is very pleasing.
Thatthi Thaavum...
Vocals: Karthik
Indipop, eh? This is an amusing but endearing piece that takes off on a rather straight Kiravani scale. The ‘jazz’ like first interlude and the comical second one (remember ‘Iragai Pola’ from ‘Naan Mahaan Alla?’), the whistling and Karthik’s stylized singing all pile up impishness.
Ayile Ayile...
Vocals: Vijay Prakash
Mmmm! This song is a mini manual on the joys of kissing! The different- sounding music bits are suitably airy, but one wishes the drums were a little subdued to relish all the tiny Karaharapriya ‘sangatis’ strewn all through this song. Surprise, Vijay Prakash comes off almost like Yuvan here! With aesthetic visuals, this song can take off.
Mama… Mama...
Vocals: Vijay Yesudas, Swetha
Though the song starts off with a Sankarabaranam bit, the song appears to switch gear into Harikamboji. If it is so, then it must be ranked with one of the many lovely Harikamboji pieces that Ilayaraja has turned out. Peppy and well-rendered, this ‘courtship’ song has suitably subdued thavil and native drum accompaniment. Raja fans will like it.
Verdict:
This album, though it leans well towards the Ilayaraja ‘paani’, still captures young hearts with its mild self-mocking tone. A smile-worthy album and a neat departure from the usual Yuvan style.
Ever since debutant Rajesh made a wholesome entertainer Siva Manasula Sakthi, the film buffs started looking out for the release of his next movie.
The film's trailer was screened along with yesterday's release Vamsam. The 2 minute trailer was enough to keep the audiences elated as the major portions had funny liners of Arya and Santhanam.
There happens to be a sequence where Santhanam says, "It's really difficult to walk such a long distance to get a loan sanctioned", for which Arya replies, "Just imagine, how many time the lender will walk to our places after giving us loan".
Boss Engira Bhaskaran has Nayanthara performing the female lead role while Jeeva is expected to make a cameo appearance.
Yuvan Shankar Raja has scored music and Sakthi Saravanan has handled cinematography.
