You won’t remember Dishoom for its plot or for its performances. It’s like junk food that’s meant to be savored in the moment, but cannot be counted on for nutrition. At two hours flat it’s that rare masala film that doesn’t overstay its welcome.

The film keeps trying to concentrate on the plot, which is weak, and because the action scenes and chases are long and repetitive, merely changing backgrounds don’t help things as much.

This is an out and out pot boiler film which does have its moment where logic can be questioned. But as long as the film keeps you entertained, it won’t hurt watching this film.

As an entertainer, Dishoom delivers. If you’re good with laughter, not logic, Dishoom is actually two much fun.

Despite the potholes, Dishoom is a fun for most part. Watch it for the John-Varun bromance and Akshay Kumar’s outrageous cameo.

…despite its decent-enough story, doesn’t quite make a mark on the mind. The film is a crowd-pleaser, especially when Saare Jahan Se Achha plays in the background and you need to deal with the goosebumps.

DISHOOM has a predictable storyline. However, the engaging narrative, coupled with rich visuals and high octane action work in the favour of the film. Add to this the star power of John Abraham and Varun Dhawan which will definitely attract the youth. At the box office, the film faces no competion for next two weeks and hence it will ensure good returns to the makers.

DISHOOM lacks imagination, it’s formulaic but John and Varun make it watchable. Go for it if you love John and/or Varun or you are looking for a harmless fun.

Though I found Dishoom to be way too formulistic  to make as strong an impression as Rohit’s directorial debut film Desi Boyz , there is virtue in vice. Dishoom proves it.

If you said Hindi comedy, it meant ghastly sex comedies or completely stupid comedies which are loud and labled ‘leave your brains behind’. Thankfully Dishoom is nothing like either. It’s pure fun. Silly, but fun. You’ll laugh at the funny lines, and you’ll like where the story is going. And everyone in the cast looks like they had a great time at the movies.

The only thing which bothers is the fact that a lot of stuff happens while you still try to figure out the scene. But maybe that’s because the entire film runs on a 36-hour-long deadlock. Be ready for many highs but do not think on ‘how is it possible?’. Do not forget, it’s Bollywood and nothing is impossible.

‘Dishoom’ is a popcorn entertainer which is good time pass watch. One can enjoy it till it last. The movie could have been a huge entertainer if only there was a decent script and some logical moments attached to it.

Dishoom may not be the best action spectacle Bollywood has made. However, it is still entertaining thanks to John and Varun’s camaraderie, and a few funny scenes. At two hours in runtime, it can be worth your ticket.

It is a good looking, pacy movie that flaunts bling, stunts and babes. Dishoom is well made and is a hell lot of fun. 

“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.
