This movie reminds us of ‘Rush Hour’ and ‘ Main Khiladi tu Anari ‘ in a good way. Together they begin the search for Viraj.Īfter the kidnapping of Viraj, Kabir and Junaid try to find him in fast paced action sequences. India sends its best shot Kabir (John Abraham) who teams up with the local cop Junaid (Varun Dhawan) and the hottie thief Ishika (Jacqueline). The Buddy-Cop genre hasn't been a regular in Hindi movies, but with 'Dishoom', it somewhat makes a comeback.Cast : John Abraham, Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Akshaye Khanna, Saqib SaleemĪ buddy cop movie coupled with a lot of action and peppered with sleazy jokes.Īn Indian cricket team Captain Viraj Sharma (Saqib Saleem) gets kidnapped just before an India-Pakistan match to be held in the Middle East. Though the film isn't as fun as it should've been, its fast-pace & grand visuals make for up for it. '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. 'Dishoom' is fast-paced & always on the point. 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. Two hot male leads, one sexy leading lady, decent music and good action. The first-hour runs on a rocket-speed & the camaraderie between its two leading-men, is fun to watch. Rohit Dhawan’s Dishoom has almost all the perfect elements to make the film an out and out commercial drama. 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. Hussain Dalal's Screenplay tackles the buddy-cop genre & runs on a fast-speed, but is not up-to the mark post-interval. 'Dishoom' is a visual delight & the ace cinematographer, nails every frame.Īyananka Bose's Cinematography is marvelous. 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. In Cameos, Akshay Kumar is a riot & brings the house down.

On the whole, 'Dishoom' is, at best, a one-time watch. This adventure has some good action for fans of that genre, but it seems logic wasn't invited. When a popular Indian cricketer is kidnapped by an unknown assailant, the government sends Kabir (Abraham), a no-nonsense, disobedient, and beasty special ops officer, to Abu Dhabi to salvage the situation. He teams up with Junaid (Dhawan), a fledgling cop with a comic nerve.

Together, they trace the cricketer's last known whereabouts, which becomes the foundation of the story. The first ten minutes will intrigue anyone who is interested in thrillers, but Kabir's entry with the arrogant, to-the-work attitude plays with our patience. To add to the annoyance comes Junaid in his perpetually oversmart air, trying to find humor in every effing thing around him. The narrative throws in characters and special appearances like that malfunctioning automatic tennis ball thrower which does not stop at all. We have Akshay Kumar playing a homosexual man who wants to see the protagonists in their unmentionables, Jacqueline Fernandez who plays a small-time, identity-stealing thief, Rahul Dev as a left hand guy, and finally Akshaye Khanna in a role that he portrays quite smoothly. Be that as it may, the character thrower does not stop even towards the end. And over everything, everyone in Abu Dhabi seem to understand and be able to converse in Hindi.
