Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Akshay Kumar (akshay-ak-kumar) Rohit Dhawan needs to learn a couple of tricks from is successful director dad David Dhawan.David who created his brand of comedy in the 90s with Govinda and Salman Khan ensured that his films were never boring and always maintained a balance between both halves.Desi Boyz had an excellent idea but poor execution making it boring. With Dishoom, he makes good progress but again the curse of 2nd half strikes making the overall product neither good nor bad.Dishoom starts extremely well. A leading cricketer is kidnapped and the Indian & UAE Govt has 48 hours to find him before the final. The Indian Foreign Minister sends John Abraham, a no nonsense cop to solve the case and he takes Varun Dhawan as his partner who cannot even find a missing dog. And joining them is Jacqueline, a thief in the hunt.The 1st half is superb and I'm not kidding. Rohit beautifully tells parallel stories, one of the two cops going in search of clues and the other what happened to the cricketer. There are some good twists and the entry of Akshaye Khanna takes the movie to another level.However, the 2nd half is bad to say the least. After interval, Rohit and his writers lose the plot and the movie becomes average. In the hunt of more clues, the heroes end up doing stupid things and I was left bewildered.The climax could have saved the film but again the heroes beat the cricketer and somehow the cricketer has all the strength and with broken bones goes on to play the finals. Wow.However, there are good things in the movie. John Abraham is nice playing the tough cop while Khanna in spite of the poorly written character plays the villain deliciously. Jacqueline is the beauty show piece. And then there are two brilliant comedy sequences which will leave you to splits. One where Satish Kaushik calls Varun as prospective father in law and Akshay Kumar as a homosexual man. Kumar is simply brilliant and I bet you can't stop laughing when he delivers one after another cheesy dialogues. However, this is a Varun Dhawan film. And boy he delivers in style. When he is on screen, the movie lights up.There is only song in the movie which is good and Rohit is smart to keep the pace fast and movie short.A time pass film.

youngaxqureshi Story 3/10, Direction 4/10, Action 5/10, Comedy 6/10, Sound/Music 4/10, Songs 6/10By Watching trailer , a Bollywood fan can assume that this movie will be full of action with weak story-line . but actually it does not have weak plot but also the bad direction. The scenes of a movie were not perfectly connected to each other also, the sound/music was too loud especially in action scenes. Action scenes were just OK nothing special. Only comedy scenes were good. The cameo of Akshay Kumar was very good and Varun Dhawan did a good job in terms of acting. Overall it is not a cinema type movie but you can watch it at home if you are too bored!!

neilp2012 The review for this movie can easily be summarized in one word thrash. The writing was uninspired and really didn't even make sense. It's like the writers were more focused on trying to fit in as many clichés as possible and not on an actual story. With the first half an hour you'll lose count of the number of clichés you've seen. There are so many clichés that you will cringe all the way through. Apart from John Abrham the acting was not good. John Abraham managed to capture all that could be caught of his character but the other actors in this film showed that they only know how to do one thing and that is overacting. This film's music was repetitive to the point in got annoying. Honestly this film is a borderline human rights violation, watching it felt like torture. Oh and when at the start when it says, "no animals were harmed in the making of this film" that statement is very hard to believe when you lions chains. The purpose of the lions in the scene also didn't really make sense and just left you wondering what was the point of torturing those poor animals.If I could I would give this movie 0

Samahire404 DISHOOM REVIEW : Finished watching it on FDFS and all i can say is, its not that movie to work after Weekend on Box office. Basically trailer promised that Film will be full of Action and obviously with Mad Max Fury Action Director, expectations were high. But film broke all expectations and served them into small pieces. Less in comedy, less in action, less in humour, less in entertainment, overall less in everything. Film failed to impress but still entertained as other Average movies does. Akshay Kumar impresses in 5 minutes cameo. Details below - Acting - Entire Starcast miserably failed to impress. Actually can't blame them entirely cause their roles weren't well written. In between John Abraham impresses as Rude Cop, some funny dialogues from Varun and Jaqueline looks hot in some scenes. Akshay Khanna came back on screen after a long time and failed to impress. Overall nothing impressive in Acting field.Screenplay - Thank god it had only 2 hours run time otherwise it would have been headache. Film looks average at the point of Interval only then same scenerio continues in 2nd half.Music - Title song starts the film and it's Rocking. Then no songs in First Half. '100 Tarah Ke' comes quickly after Interval which is situational song and its Bombastic. Then 'Janeman' at End Credit. Overall a Good music album.Cinematography - Good but not great. Action scenes have been shot well.Direction - Average ! The main problem is Director failed to keep film pacy despite small run time. Tried too hard to add all the elements but nothing worked big. This field definitely could have been much much better.Final Words - Overall its Strictly Average Film. You will be entertained for some time but that some time actually comes for a while. This film won't work Critically as well as Commercially. Watch it only if you don't have any other option. 5/10* Stars by me.
