| |
| | |
| == Plot ==
| |
| At a time when [[Mumbai]] [[Police]] headed by [[Police Commissioner]] ([[Chiranjeet]]) announce that the much dreaded [[Mafia Raj]] is completely wiped out in the [[city]] and there are no under world Bhais in [[Mumbai]], a rookie named Surya ([[Jeet (actor)|Jeet]]) lands in the country’s commercial capital with an intention to become a [[Mafia]] [[Crime boss|Don]]. His friend ([[Biswanath Basu]]) receives him and brings him to [[Dharavi]]. He offers him shelter and tells him that he would soon fetch him a job so that he can settle down in life. But Surya wants to carve an identity for himself, by reorganizing [[Mumbai]]'s Mafia Raj and eventually rule [[Mumbai]]. He then mocks as a cop and gets his first bounty, and then he forms a gang of his own. Surya meets up with a local politician Gopi (Supriyo Dutta), who is in trouble and offers him help. Surya begins recruiting criminals and gangsters in [[Mumbai]] and starts to Extort people for money. He slowly gains momentum and, in the process, becomes popular and feared among the people.
| |
| | |
| Meanwhile, he also knowingly tries to get romantically involved with Rusha ([[Subhashree Ganguly]]), the daughter of the police commissioner. In the process, he actually falls for the girl and tries for her acceptance. In the course of the film, Surya becomes popular among [[Dharavi]]'s locals. He comes across as an extortionist, a baron, a philanthropist, and an entrepreneur. His friendship with Gopi gets stronger, and so does his political connections. Surya sets up a company named "Surya Exports & Imports," which would act as a front for the organized crime that they indulge in. Surya reveals his plan to grow his network of organized crime all over India. He begins to set up branch offices for "Surya Exports & Imports" in all major cities, towns, and villages all over India. He recruits local gangsters for staff and begins to forcefully collect a two per cent tax on every contract done in that area. Eventually, Surya grows to be a billionaire and later reveals to the police commissioner that he never wanted money but only power. He claims that he believes in war but not morality and that the crime rate dropped significantly after he started to recruit all the gangsters. He also states that he wants to rid India of crime and help the needy.
| |
| | |
| Surya also helps Gopi to become the [[Mayor]] of [[Mumbai]] by defeating Arun Ghokle (Biswajit Chakraborty), who is backed up by Rajsekhar Sinha ([[Rajatava Dutta]]), a powerful national politician. Eventually, Arun Ghokle goes against Rajsekhar and talks to the police about Rajsekhar's illegal activities. Rajsekhar kills the police commissioner, and Rusha becomes devastated by it. Surya reveals to her that he was an American born Indian who loses his [[philanthropist]] Non-resident Indian father at an early age. His parents were the victims of [[Political corruption]] and were cheated and killed by Rajsekhar. This incident and the attitude of people towards an orphan while growing up made him hate the society.
| |
| | |
| In his pursuit of power and achieving his goal of getting India rid of the crime, he shifts his attention towards the upcoming Indian parliament elections. He, with the help of Gopi, meets up with Guru Govind Patel, head of the opposition party. He makes a deal with him and offers him INR350 billion (US$5.5 billion) for election campaigning and also promises him that he would make him the prime minister of India. Surya uses the money and starts to make an impact on the elections. He spends millions on every constituency in India and also makes Rajsekhar unable to contest in the elections. After knowing that Rajsekhar Sinha has kidnapped Rusha to seek revenge on him, he fights of the Rajsekhar's goons and eventually kills him and saves Rusha. It is shown at the end that he had successfully installed Guru Govind Patel as the [[Prime Minister]] of India and is seen with Rusha, who accepts his [[love]].

| === Critical response ===
| |
| The film received mixed reviews from critics.
| |
| Jaya Biswas of ''[[The Times of India]]'' reviewed "Jeet looks slim and fit. He can dance, fight and emote as well. His performance — as a shrewd and confident guy, who couldn't care less about scruples in life — is worthy of mention. Though Subhashree adds to the glamour quotient, she disappoints in the acting department. She looks fabulous in smart off-shoulder tops but her chemistry with Jeet is non-existent. Our hero's one-liner seems quite pertinent here: "Raja thakle tar raniketohthakteihobe". Veteran actor Chiranjeet is effective as the police commissioner. Rajatava, Supriyo and Biswajit do their bit as crooked politicians — nothing we haven't seen before. But a dull storyline and a weak script ruin the show. Too many characters create confusion. The songs fail to impress and the lyrics are not up to the mark. But cut out the nitpicking and nothing should stop Jeet fans from joining their favourite star in action."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bengali/movie-reviews/Boss/movie-review/21746174.cms|title=Boss review|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|accessdate=11 Aug 2013}}</ref>
