The film is a humongous gamble on pushing a terribly bad product on the shoulders of Roshan, who should make sure that he is never conned again in this way. Despite both the artifice and triteness innately present in the role, he lives Sarman, is sincere, looks like a demi-god for his women fans even when shabby and disheveled, and tries to salvage this humongous, no, make that historic waste of resources.

In short, including the meaningless title, this one leaves you flummoxed.

“Dishoom” is timepass entertainment, and, since it has little competition till Aug. 12, will do well. Varun Dhawan, of course, will pull in the audience apart from the songs.

This is a movie with both a heart and a solid body that delivers a socko punch of entertainment…

If you are a normal human being with normal emotions and sensibilities, stay away from this one by miles. With this film, Kashyap reaffirms that he is not a bit interested in the normal audience, even if he can con some, and many internationally at obscure festivals, into admiring such undiluted nauseating bilge.  

In the final analysis, we hope that this film, which loses an entire star for all this planned audience disconnect, does not go the way of so many movies with noble messages that lose their sheen and box office appeal and defeat their purpose of giving vital messages to society because of such and other forms of over-indulgence and over-confidence.

Do not miss this small gem, which shows that the best films need not come at all in big size packets at all.

Watch this one for its sheer ingenuity, though at 136 minutes, it is probably about 16 minutes too long.

…the film ends up as a decent stress-buster due to its combination of slapstick and situational comedy. More than the script, it is the actors who go that extra mile in this matter, led of course by Akshay Kumar as the wannabe sportsman with split personality disorder.

Miss this one at your own risk. Correction: Make that: ‘Do Not Miss!’
