Akshay Kumar with an unusual hairstyle as Sameer Gazi leaves a lasting impression.
In cameo roles Nargis Fakhri and Parineeti Chopra are eye candies. Jacqueline Fernandez as Ishika aka Meera Behl, in a defined character, holds her stead and excels. As an actor, he is natural and never fails to impress you. The talented Saqib Saleem is wasted in a passive role of the kidnapped cricketer Viraj Sharma.Īkshaye Khanna, after a long hiatus, makes a comeback in a poorly developed role of an antagonist. He overdoes his bit at times, but that is no fault of his. With a rushed sense of energy, Varun Dhawan as Junaid is charming. His on-screen bonding with the bumbling Junaid Ansari, is perfect. With a stone-face, straight jacket expression and a swagger, he plays the defiant officer to the tee. On the performance front, John Abraham as the impulsive Kabir is impressive. Humour is supposed to be derived from these references. The dialogues have references to many English and Hindi films, prominent among the few are "Munnabhai MBBS", "Lagaan", "3 Idiots" and "PK".
Nevertheless, the film delivers moments of entertainment. Even if one has to keep ones' brains behind, its faultlines are jarring. The script written by Tushar Hiranandani and Rohit Dhawan has all the ingredients of a Hindi commercial film which includes dramatic cast intros, inciting episodic incidents with a patriotic tinge, mild complications, action packed climax and a dud emotional denouement, all sans logic.Īpart for this, the film is carelessly scripted with no eye for detailing. Set somewhere in the Middle East, "Dishoom" is a stylised yet typical buddy-cop film with Bollywood sensibilities.īookended with songs, and in the backdrop of an investigation, of a missing ace Indian cricketer - Viraj Sharma (Saqib Saleem) who disappears 36 hours before the finals, it is the bonding saga of the two investigative officers Kabir Shergil (John Abraham) and Junaid Ansari (Varun Dhawan) who are investigating the case.
