**20 Years of Bluffmaster!: The Con That Still Has Us Fooled (and Laughing!)** Imagine a slick conman whose scams are so sharp, they fool audiences two decades later— that's the timeless magic of *Bluffmaster!*[1][3] Released in 2005 and directed by Rohan Sippy, this Hindi crime comedy stars **Abhishek Bachchan** as Roy Kapoor, a charming swindler who gets dumped by his girlfriend Simmi (Priyanka Chopra) after his true identity is exposed, only to mentor a bumbling apprentice (Riteish Deshmukh) amid a terminal diagnosis[1]. Packed with twists inspired by the Argentine film *Nine Queens* and echoes of *The Game*, it blends high-stakes cons, heartfelt drama, and laugh-out-loud moments that critics hailed as Abhishek's breakout, where he "finally became the actor"[3]. What keeps *Bluffmaster!* fresh after 20 years? Abhishek Bachchan recently praised its **screenplay** in an exclusive Times of India interview, noting, "People laugh at the jokes even now"—a testament to its enduring wit[1]. The stellar cast, including Nana Patekar as the menacing Chandru and Boman Irani, delivers razor-sharp performances, while the music stands out: Rohan Sippy shared how budget constraints led to innovative tracks like the title song and Abhishek's rocking rap "Right Here Right Now," which were "way ahead of its time" with no remixes needed[2][3]. Fans on IMDb rave about the "fantastic piece of cinema" with realistic cons, strong characters, and a perfect mix of comedy, thrill, and emotion—proving Abhishek outshone even his legendary father in this one[3].
