DISHOOM - Ask yourself a question. did you liked DESI BOYZ (debut from ROHIT DHAWAN {brother of Varun and Big son of David}). If the answer is yes , the you will definitely like this one too. I personally liked Desi Boyz a lot. Rohit Dhawan' sense of humour is nice. Better then his father , and also better then Rohit Shetty (at least what ever he is making now a days). And from the very end of Desi Boyz i have been waiting for the next movie by ROHIT DHAWAN. Although i was expecting more for DESI BOYZ 2.
But ROHIT is not the only reason for the excitement for the movie. 2nd one is that Varun Dhawan is a unbeatable actor right now. Not a single flop after 6 movies (although DILWALE came very close of being flop but at least it has earned its budget back). I don't remember any other actor doing this. 3rd will be the sub genre -Buddy Cop movies. Everybody loves them , from Bollywood's TU KHILADI MAIN ANARI to HOLLYWOOD'S bad boys. But let me tell you the biggest reason for my urge to watch this movie. Its AKHSAY KHANNA. Which i think is one of the most underrated and underutilized actor in Bollywood. He is not getting work at all. And i think he plays a negative character brilliantly (remember HUMRAAZ and RACE). Although his character is not that strong hear. But he can turn even a bad character into a good one (like he became the only saving grace in TEES MAR KHAN). At least he didn't made fool of himself like usually villains in this type of movies does. The story was simple. Top batsman of Indian team has been kidnapped , and two police officers have to find him. John played the tough partner (Akhsay from Tu Khiladi main anari , Abhishek from Dhoom series etc) and Varun plays the childish one (Saif and Uday in respective movies). But the good thing is , the story-line is not nonsense , like David Dhawan or Rohit Shetty or Aneez Bazmi do with their movies. There is enough writing done to manage the flow of the movie. It never feel too much stretched. There were some small investigation , many logical jumps which i cant complain because its the fundamental right for this type of movies. What keep the movie on its track is the Bromance (called by Varun's character BHAI WALA PYAAR). Both actors complimented each other very nicely. Pretty good help have been provided by the Dialogue writer. Shockingly Jacqueline's character was not half bad. And neither she was just there for unnecessary glamour. She actually did nice work as a supporting cast and performed really well in the song Sau Tarah Ke which was well choreographed , well timed and the only song in the movie . Rest of the two songs appeared in the opening credits and the end credits. Why i always say that i like Rohit Dhawan's humor can be judged by two cameos in the movie. One by Akhsay Kumar as a gay person and one by Satish Kausik (whose face never appears on the screen , we just hear his voice on the phone). Both these actor did an awesome job , and can be described as two of the best cameos in Bollywood's recent movies. They both will make you roll on the floor laughing (i will definitely like to see Akshay as a gay in a full movie). About action scenes , they were typical but very well done. So much similar to Rohit Shetty's style yet so much done better. Specially the last helicopter stunt was great. Cinematography was very glossy. Abu Dabi looked liked a heaven , place which cant be in this planet. Movie dragged a bit in the 2nd half , but well managed by the climax. One thing i would like to add that there were not much of the cricket match shown in the movie but whatever they have shown it was very rich. Looked beautiful as compared to the cheap visuals of Azhar. Its definitely because of the better and costly production design of the movie. The thing m saying is that every movie maker should know his limit , whatever budget they have they must make a movie which fits their budget , which will save them for showing their movie with cheap visuals.
So i enjoyed the movies , it's far behind from a perfect film but also a miles ahead of nonsense action comedies. Worth of your ticket price. At least i think so. 7.4/10 By ANuP APu KuMaR.
