Watch out for his hilarious act in the first half. Nargis Fakhri is seen in two scenes and her entry in the bikini is sure to get some whistles in theaters.Īkshay Kumar will surprise the hell out of you in his cameo. Saqib Saleem who is seen as Virat Sharma, the player does a decent job. We would definitely love to seem him work more in films. Of course, her sexy moves in Sau Tarah Ke song make-up for most of that missing acting.Īkshaye Khanna in spite of being a good actor and the antagonist in the film, gets limited screen time. Other than cracking a few funny dialogues, she does not have much to offer. Jacqueline Fernandez as Ishika hardly has any role. Nonetheless, he is extremely likable and instantly grabs your attention in the film with his comic timing.
After Main Tera Hero, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, his character as Junaid is once again the chirpy chocolate boy like. Varun Dhawan is unfortunately getting highly repetitive. Thank god for his hot body else, the actor had no work in the film! In Dishoom, for most of the scenes, he is just seen smoking with a stern face. It’s just boring to see him with his bulked up body playing the no nonsense guy. John Abraham really needs to do something different. High on its commercial elements, Dishoom entertains in parts. Also, it is plain annoying to show someone throwing smoke on someone’s face. Smoking a cigarette does not make someone ‘macho’ and it’s best if we get rid of such concepts from modern day cinema at least. While the focus remains on John and Varun, the writers fail to establish the antagonists character much.Īlso, showing John’s character to be a law-breaker when it comes to smoking was not a smart move on the writer’s part. The script starts to fall flat in the second half with corny twists such as an unnecessary chase sequence with Rahul Dev. Action picks up the pace when the film is about to get dull and that helps. The script is overall predictable, be it the climax or Jacqueline and John’s brewing romance. The side characters are extremely weak although Akshay Kumar’s cameo is one hell of a scene. Most of Varun’s dialogues are like four liner jingles and while they work at start, after a point you rarely even dare to chuckle.Īn example would be, when the kidnapper’s dog, Bradman accidentally gives out a major lead about the case, dialogues like “Ek hi Bradman hai jo dono team ke liye khelta hai” make their way. Their chemistry is very much a reminder of our Dhoom jodi, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra.
While Kabir’s character is steely and brooding, Junaid is the full of life, goofy guy who brings in all the fun to this film. Rohit Dhawan’s Dishoom tries hard to be a Rush Hour type buddy cop film but thanks to its cliches, comes hardly any close. Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez and John Abraham in a still from Dishoom Dishoom Review: Script Analysis
Will Kabir and Junaid succeed on their mission? Will they catch hold of Wagah (Akshaye Khanna), who is the real culprit is what lies ahead. She forms an important link to finding Virat’s kidnapper’s whereabouts.
On their hunt for clues, they meet Ishika (Jacqueline Fernandez) who’s a pick pocketer. He then picks up Junaid Ansari (Varun Dhawan) a goofy, newbie Arab cop as his co-agent on the case. Indian special task force agent Kabir Shergill is sent to work on this case. Two days before the final match between India and Pakistan, Virat gets abducted in Middle East. As shown in the trailer, the story revolves around the kidnapping of Indian cricketer Viraj Sharma (Saqib Saleem).
