For some good reason, I always find the plot of Abhishek Bachchan's movies very interesting and for some real bad reason, he screws up most of them. Luckily, in Dum Maaro Dum AB was not the culprit. A shabby and overtly cliched script laced with stupid and unrealistic drama screwed it up all. After an interesting first half, the half baked script ruined it totally.
A cop with shady background and a family tragedy is given top job to screw everyone with 'stuff' in Goa. Then there is a tycoon who proclaims himself to be a humanatarian and does the 'stuff' business in hindsight. Then there is a kid who is arrested for smuggling the stuff and there is a supporting friend who wants to save him. Lots of intelinks and cliches in lives of people plus lots of loop holes in the plot. This is Sippy's movie? They made Sholay, if I am not wrong. First 30 minutes into the movie, you like it because Prateik delivers an amazing performance. As AB enters the picture, DMD becomes a more sophisticated version of Saif's Race. As Rana comes into scene story settles for a while but Bipasha's portion is raw shit. A tycoon with no personal security, yes Aditya Pancholi is no where close to his best as an villain in Striker. He is fat and appears comical when he tries to be dangerous.
Music is ok. Cinematography is good. Among all, Rana and Prateik were impressive. Rest were just forgettable. Story is too dramatic and though they try hard to keep it a secret, little thinking will reveal everything in the first half. Atleast, it happened to me. Direction is poor. And yeah... this movie is low on action, low on content... and what not.
