Story of The Film :
When a child falls into the well of the temple and Abbas breaks the temple’s lock to save the child. When Prithviraj arrives at the scene, Ravi says Abbas’s name as Abhishek Bachchan to avoid religious controversies of a temple being broken open by a Muslim. Prithviraj hires Abhishek Bachchan (Abbas) and is happy with his work, but Ravi and his friends have to come up with a new plan when Prithviraj spots Abbas celebrating Eid as a Muslim. Abbas and the others convince Prithviraj that the one celebrating Eid was actually ‘Abbas’, an effeminate man and classical Kathak dancer. Things become worse for Abbas and Ravi when Prithviraj kindly hires Abbas for teaching Kathak to his sister Radhika (Prachi Desai). The more Abbas tries to manage his dual life without letting Prithviraj know, the more he has to lie to cover up other lies; this forms the crux of the story.
Production :
The film was originally expected for a Diwali 2011 release, though was postponed to 2012. 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 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. 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.
In Jubilee 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, 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. The film has been shot at various locations, including Rohit Shetty’s seemingly favourite Panchgani and Chomu Palace, among other locations.

Bol Bachchan Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 5.5 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 8151.
Bol Bachchan is a typical Rohit Shetty movie with a little more substance. It has cheap jokes – this time on lousy understanding of English by Prithviraj – character played by Ajay. It has those characteristic action sequences – people and vehicles flying in the air. It has few songs, which are light and melodious.
But this film should be remembered for an actor who has worked out of his skin to entertain audience – Abhishek Bachchan. I have never seen Abhishek show so many emotions in a single film. He is good at comic roles – if we see Dostana and now Bol Bachchan. Action sequences and sharing chemistry with females is where I find him a little uncomfortable. He should not be compared to his dad now. He has carved an audience for himself.
Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 4 star out of 5 Star.
