One of my all time favorites.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
The movie is above average or you can say as good.The direction by Rohit dhawan was really bad.The story is really very good as it is about a cricketer been kidnapped by a bookie.The screenplay was OK.The cinematography and locations were good.The acting from Varun dhawan was same as usual as he does a lil overacting in his every films but guys really his overactiong is loved by the people and his fans.I don't kbow guys why John Abraham is always given the same kinda roles man.The songs were really very good.The dialouges were good.So if you are one of those classic varun dhawans fan go for this.
This movie is AMAZING! With 2 amazing actors, and a popular heroine, Dishoom exceeded all thoughts on this movie. If you love action movies with a bit of romance and amazing music, (and a bit of cricket) this movie is for you. You barely even realize the characters come in when they do. Their entrances are so mind blowing and the characters they play makes it all the better. Characters are played by the people in real life that resembles that character. For example, the movie takes advantage of John Abraham's body build and his character is a cop. Varun Dhawan is a funny and great guy, while being very fit, and can always put a smile on your face, and can be serious at times. He plays John's partner. This is honestly an amazing movie and it was great to see on the big screen.
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.Dishoom is just another of the mindless action comedies that rely on the lead actors' muscles and lead actresses' clefts; why else would they cast Nargis Fakhri in a 20-second role? There are a couple of twists and turns towards the second half which has the ability to keep the audience partially hooked. However, at the end of the whole charade, one WILL ask if it was worth it. And the answer will most probably be on the negative.Abraham does what he does best: showcasing of his fit bod. Dhawan complements him, but in addition, tries very hard to be funny. It was great to see both Dev and Khanna after a very long time. They both do a fine job. Had no expectations from the actresses because all they do nowadays in male-centric films is flash their assets and laugh at their male co-stars' jokes. The writing is stale, but the execution is what I have given four stars here for. Some good locations were chosen and some good angles in the photography. Overall, it's just an afternoon watch on Netflix six months from now.BOTTOM LINE: Rohit Dhawan's Dishoom is a rundown action film where the unintended humor wreaks havoc with the story flow, which is not that great in the first place. Wait for TV premiere!Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
Rohit tried to recreate his dad's oldies magic with "Dislocated" script, Beautiful locations, some exceptionally brilliant chases and great bonding between John and Varun. Akshay Khanna was under-utilized. Jacqueline and Nargis were stunning. Great cameo from Akshay Kumar and Satish Kaushik through mobile. Dialogue specially one-liner can give you some sense of comedy. Pritam has given good Title track cum Moral anthem but disappointed with Item song "Jaaneman Aah".1) Good to Watch: Chemistry between John Abraham and Varun Dhawan, Chase sequences 2) Not to watch: Brainless Script, Item song from Parineeti Chopra
