Bol Bachchan

Bol Bachchan is a 2012 Indian Hindi-language action comedy film directed by Rohit Shetty and produced by Ajay Devgn and Dhillin Mehta under Ajay Devgn FFilms and Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision respectively, with Fox Star Studios serving as distributor and presenter. Based on a script by writers Yunus Sajwal and Farhad-Sajid, it stars Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan, Asin, Prachi Desai, Krushna Abhishek, Neeraj Vora and Archana Puran Singh, and is loosely based on the 1979 Hrishikesh Mukherjee classic Gol Maal. It marks Bachchan's and Devgn's fourth collaboration after LOC: Kargil, Zameen and Yuva.

Himesh Reshammiya composed the film's soundtrack with Ajay–Atul as guest composers on a dance number, with Amar Mohile composing the score. The trailer was launched on 24 May 2012. Bol Bachchan made a new record through advance ticket booking, and was released in cinemas on 6 July 2012, with a runtime of 155 minutes and an investment of ₹50 crore (US$5.9 million). The film marks Shetty's last collaborations with Vora, who died 5 years after the film's release, and with Ashtavinayak, which was suspended from trading that year and eventually liquidated two years later, shutting down, thus making Bol Bachchan its last film project.

Earning over ₹1 billion (US$12 million) net from domestic markets and more than ₹235 crore (US$28 million) worldwide, Bol Bachchan became a critical and commercial success and was remade in Telugu as Masala in 2013.

Abbas Ali lives in Delhi with his sister Sania. He loses a case against their relatives allegedly for owning their father's home illegally. Then he beats the lawyer in the government area making his way to jail. After being informed by Sania, Shastri, a family friend bails him and he loses his job as taxi driver as the owner says that he has directly come from jail. Then Shastri, convinces them to move to Ranakpur, where he promises to get Abbas a job at his boss Prithviraj Raghuvanshi's place. They arrive at Ranakpur and meet Shastri's son Ravi and his friends, who run a drama company.

While saving a child from drowning, Abbas breaks into a disputed temple, prompting Prithviraj's estranged cousin Vikrant to get involved. Prithviraj arrives at the scene, and Ravi tells him that Abbas' name is Abhishek Bachchan, to avoid any religious tensions due to a Muslim breaking a temple's lock. Prithviraj hires Abhishek Bachchan (Abbas) as a supervisor, and is revealed to be an eccentric and kindhearted man, who hates liars and punishes them severely. Sometime later, he spots Abbas celebrating Eid and confronts him. Abbas and the others lie that the man he saw was actually Abhishek's twin brother 'Abbas', an effeminate man and Kathak dancer. Abbas also lies about having a mother, and recruits a dancer Zohra to play the part, leading to hilarious situations as he tries to conceal his lies.

Prithviraj hires the twin 'Abbas' to teach Kathak to his sister Radhika. Radhika finds out Abbas' truth, but promises to keep it secret. Prithviraj's sidekick Maakhan begins suspecting Abbas when he watches Gol Maal, as the film's plot has many similarities with Abbas' drama, and tells Prithviraj. However, Abbas narrowly escapes getting exposed.

Abbas gets closer to Radhika, but Prithviraj, who thinks that it’s the other twin Abbas, threatens him to leave her. Radhika pressures Abbas for marriage and leaves her home, but Vikrant, who still holds grudges against Prithviraj, kidnaps her. Abhishek (Abbas) and Prithviraj team up to rescue her. Impressed by his actions, Prithviraj plans Abhishek's marriage with Radhika and his own marriage with Sania, who resembles his earlier love-interest, Apeksha.

Abbas and Sania decide to reveal the truth to Prithviraj, but he learns about it from Maakhan, who was spying on them. Enraged, Prithviraj exposes Abbas and his group through a stage play, and pursues them in a mad chase, but gets stuck on the edge of a mountain as his car crashes, and Abbas saves his life. He then comes clean to Prithviraj, who forgives him, and promises to never lie again.
