Dishoom (2016)
4/10
Style is preferred over screenplay and story
29 July 2016
Director Mr. Rohit Dhavan has visualized the film with style and grandeur. He successfully projects it too but due to weak story line and loose screenplay films lacks to cater the thrill and humor. Dialogues by Husain Dalal are good. Film starts on a thrilling note but as story unfolds that thrill becomes lame. Humor is stuffed in thrilling scenes to evoke laughter but it falls flat crashing the thrill too. The way they have conceived the scene and its logic is very clear in starting few minutes when at a high point, a cricketer fixes his dislocated shoulder by banging it on wall and this thing has been used in pre climax in further lame way. Gags don't go well with the film, like the person calling to Junaid's phone regarding matrimonial issue, it was just for the sake of end credit song. If this conversation would have been crisp then it must have worked in good way. A cricketer gets kidnapped, India sends an intelligence officer who lacks most of intelligence. He always flashes gun like a goon and doesn't believe in rules. A very intelligent kidnapper, who first traps the victim in good way that he is going to disobey his instructions but doesn't notice camera fitted red collar of his lost and returned dog!! Time limit of operation is revealed 36 hours but it looks that time has stopped for them. Film travels India to abroad and then another country by road with some time machine. Climax is treated so hurriedly and stupidity like they show India transfers 500Cr in just five minutes without taking any permission or any official meeting. When you lack in content then you must have come with blasts, grand action sequences and spectacular locations, which this film has in abundance. Most entertaining performance is Akshay Kumar guest appearance. He is just hilarious. His scenes were just OK but his performance made it very entertaining. Varun Dhavan as Juniad is very good, especially in comedy. John Abraham as Kabir is OK. Akshay Khanna as Waga is very good. Jacqueline Fernandez role was forceful as her expressions. A song "Sau Tareh Ke Rog Le Le' is good peppy song. Credit goes to music director Pritam and lyricist Kumaar and Ashish Pandit.
