Poster Boys Story:
The movie is about three men who find themselves on a poster promoting vasectomy (nasbandi). The film is based on a real life incident where three coolies found their pictures on a vasectomy promotion poster.

The world turns upside down for three men, Vinay Sharma (Bobby Deol), Arjun Singh (Shreyas Talpade) and Jaagavar Chaudhary (Sunny Deol),when they find their pictures on a poster promoting ‘nasbandi’ vasectomy. And then, starts their journey of getting humiliated by their families and society; rebelling against the system which landed them in this confusing mess in the first place.

“We have never seen Sunny and Bobby do something like this. For both of them to play characters caught in a situation like this, the laugh riot is only going to get funnier,” says says Shreyas.

Shreyas Talpade’s story is novel and makes for an entertaining film. Bunty Rathore and Paritosh Painter’s screenplay is effective overall, despite an average beginning. The fun element never stops and that is quite a feat. On the whole, POSTER BOYS manages to tickle your funny bone and also neatly embeds a social message. Sadly the lack of promotions and limited shows with odd timings may end up playing spoilsport. However the positive word of mouth may translate into decent footfalls over the weekend as well as the weekdays.

Inspired by real events, this remake of the Marathi comedy Poshter Boyz hopes to draw humour from the predicament of three men who unwittingly become ambassadors of nasbandi when their photographs accidentally make it to a PSA urging all to consider vasectomy.This one’s tricky as it has to sensitively portray the plight of the characters while ensuring the screwball humour doesn’t take away from the proceedings. On that count, the maker (Shreyas Talpade helming a film for the first time) does fairly well

The lead actors of the film were spotted in a studio for the photo-shoot of the film.

Poster Boys also stars Sonali Kulkarni, Ranadheer Rai, Lara Dutta and Urvashi Rautela. The film is produced by Sony Pictures Networks Production, Sunny Sounds Pvt. Ltd and Affluence Movie. Pvt.Ltd.
