A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film is inspired by real events, i.e. there are Indo-Canadian people living in Vancouver and people are being killed. Beeba Boys means "Good Boys" similar in meaning to good fellows. Jeet Jahir (Randeep Hooda) is a gang leader who has made waves by insulting the older Grewal (Gulshan Grover). A man named Nep (Ali Momen) close friend to Grewal's daughter (Gia Sandhu) is a double agent between the gangs and walks a fine line.The gangsters are very family oriented. They seem more intellectual then the common gangster and wear pink and powder puff blue suits with orange turbines, and at other times they look western. The film shows the local prejudice against Indian gangsters. Much of the film was comical and I don't know if it was intentional as I felt I had to laugh at certain cultural aspects such as the mothers of the criminal gangs all work out at the Jewish Center and sauna together.It does have a musical number at a wake, but not exactly a Bollywood production. It was a professional production, just don't know how to digest it.Guide: F-bomb in two languages, implied sex. No nudity.

I usually avoid Canadian films that were funded by the Canadian government because, let's face it, the majority of them are pretentious crud. However, the premise of this particular Canadian movie - a look at the Indian-Canadian organized crime rings in Vancouver (a city I don't live very far from) - definitely interested me enough to get the DVD from my local library when I found it there.Unfortunately, the movie is pretty much a big letdown. It's amateur hour in a number of key aspects. The acting by a number of the cast is pretty poor, the photography often looks like it wasn't shot by the best cameras available, and the other production values are very inconsistent. However, the biggest problem with the entire production is the script. There are far too many characters, which may explain why none of them is sufficiently fleshed out enough to get the audience to explain their actions. Why did they turn to crime? How do they justify their actions to themselves and others? Questions like these never really get answered. In the end, the movie is more like a series of vignettes barely sharing a connection with each other, so it's hard to get involved with this narrative.There is definite interest to see Vancouver in a movie play itself for once instead of an American city. And no movie that has the annoying actor Paul Gross get his throat bloodily cut can be all bad. Still, the movie ends up being a big disappointment.

Great Movie!!This movie kept showing up on my Facebook feed so today i decided to go to the theatre and watch it and I loved it. I have seen Deepa Metha's movies before and THIS isn't your typical Metha movie it is vibrant, new, and fresh. The fashion is on point and the movie is great to watch. Randeep's acting is superb he emulates the values of indo-cdns - family oriented, giving, and strong. The Beeba Boys are like One Direction you can't help but watch. There a little bit of humour, a touch of sadness, and some prevalent issues. It is unfortunate that Canada battles the issue of gangs whether Indo-Cdn or others but this movie just puts the message out there; they exist! Deepa isn't making a documentary she is making a MOVIE. A movie that i thoroughly enjoyed and think you will too!

It's a film worth watching! Well shot, well acted and an intense wild ride! It delivers on all fronts with dark humour, killer fashion statements and raw emotion. It sheds a light on a topic that many people had no idea about. It's a journey about identity, family and brotherhood.Beeba boys goes against the grain of Canadian films and give you an adrenaline filled journey through this indo-Canadian sub culture that exists predominantly in Vancouver. Plus how often do you get to see South Asians kick ass in a main stream film. So thank you Deepa and the entire cast for a cinematic treat. Soon I hope that the lines between all races will be completely blurred and there will be films with people of all races not just playing stereotypes but any character imaginable. I think this film is a huge step in the right direction.
