After playing a biker in "Super" and an ardent devotee of Lord
Ram in "Sri Ramadasu", ace actor Nagarjuna returns to a conventional
role in "Boss".
He plays a good-looking boss and a lover boy. However, a few more shades
to his character would have been fairer to him.
The film basically revolves around the romance between a boss and his
secretary.
Gopala Krishna (GK), played by Nagarjuna, is an owner of a construction
company and he shows deep affection towards his secretary Anuradha (Nayantara)
who is an orphan.
Anuradha too falls for
GK but puts in her resignation when he scolds her for a minor mistake
at work. The duo unite in the end despite the boss hiring a new secretary
(Poonam Bazwa).
Pretty Nayantara aptly fits into the role of a secretary and displays
traces of acting skills in a few scenes. Poonam's is a single-song role
for all practical purposes.
Comedy bigwigs Sunil, Brahmanandam and Ali shore up the proceedings
in the first part of the film. Sayaji Shinde, who plays the bad guy,
dons a stereotypical role.
V.N. Aditya, who delivered hit "Nenunnanu" with Nagarjuna
should have worked harder on the screenplay to make a winner out of
this romantic plot. Instead, he relies too much on Nagarjuna's established
star image.
Cinematographer Siva Kumar captures some picture-perfect settings,
but the music of Mallik and Anand disappoints.
