But for all its silliness it is still watchable thanks to John Abraham and Varun Dhawan being easy on the eyes.
Director Rohit Dhawan does a smart job of keeping the narrative pacy. This weekend, for some harmless fun go for Dishoom. The Quint’s Stutee Ghosh gives it 2.5 Quints out of 5.

You would’ve continued to top our list of ‘thinking’ actors just fine without calling other superstars mediocre. Well anyway, why cry over spilt milk, right? Instead, we’re laughing about it. Hope you’re too!
