Sau tarah ke rog le loon ๐ผ๐ผ… Most amazing part of the movie.. Its background score.. This song is on repeat mode.. Says who that daddy Dhawan wont be biased.. With all the "to be remembered" dialogues given to Varun .. Its Daddy's bias๐ So what is Dhishoom .. Slapstick thriller or a slapstick comedy .. Maybe a combo A mission.. With backdrop of ever so popular Cricket and the IPL signature tune.. Varun refuses to grow up.. Still in chota bhai role John - looks good. And that's it . Jacqueline- only finds her time to glory in few songs.. No substantial contribution. Dhishum could have been made without her Good to see Akshaye Khanna realizes that he ain't good in hero roles n has gracefully graduated to being the somber Villain.. If doing nothing this weekend, its good for a Timepass.. Typical David Dhawan masala movie The Buddy-Cop genre hasn't been a regular in Hindi movies, but with 'Dishoom', it somewhat makes a comeback. Though the film isn't as fun as it should've been, its fast-pace & grand visuals make for up for it. Well, almost.<br/><br/>'Dishoom' Synopsis: When India's top batsman Viraj Sharma (Saqib Saleem) goes missing in Middle East, two cops Kabir Shergill (John Abraham) and Junaid Ansari (Varun Dhawan) from either side of Arabian Sea must team up for a 36-hours man-hunt before the final match between India and Pakistan.<br/><br/>'Dishoom' is fast-paced & always on the point. And that's its biggest strength. Its minus, however, is that there is no soul here. No, I wasn't expecting a soulful experience, but 'Dishoom' is just chew your popcorn entertainment. The first-hour runs on a rocket-speed & the camaraderie between its two leading-men, is fun to watch. Its the second-hour, where the pace drops. The journey to find the celebrated batsman is dragged for long & even the crispness wears you off. In short, 'Dishoom' has a winning first-hour, but a disappointing second.<br/><br/>Hussain Dalal's Screenplay tackles the buddy-cop genre & runs on a fast-speed, but is not up-to the mark post-interval. The Writing needed to be crisper. Rohit Dhawan's Direction is decent. Ayananka Bose's Cinematography is marvelous. 'Dishoom' is a visual delight & the ace cinematographer, nails every frame. Editing is sharp. Art & Costume Design are excellent. Action-Sequences are ably executed. Background Score is super. Songs are good.<br/><br/>Performance-Wise: John & Varun work well together. John dominates on his huge personality, while Varun oozes energy. But its Akshaye Khanna who steals the show. As the menacing bookie, Khanna stages a comeback & chews on the scenery. Jacqueline Fernandez looks stunning & delivers fairly. Saqib Saleem is decent. Rahul Dev is first-rate. In Cameos, Akshay Kumar is a riot & brings the house down. Vijay Raaz excels. <br/><br/>On the whole, 'Dishoom' is, at best, a one-time watch.
