Now, that’s what we call a masaledar Bollywood film. Sorry Rohit Shetty, but your namesake, Rohit Dhawan, has outdone you and how.

Dishoom’s power-packed trailer almost guarantees that the film will be a top-notch commercial entertainer, where Rohit Dhawan gets all his ingredients right. Well, almost right!

But what are the ingredients that worked for the film, or at least, for the trailer?

Cops – They’ve Got it Covered!

Dishoom works on the no-nonsense cop/goofy cop formula. Hmm. Dhoom, anyone? No, says John Abraham and us.

Dishoom has cast two of Bollywood’s six-pack hotties, who will ensure that all the attention is not stolen by Jacqueline Fernandes and Nargis Fakhri.

Girls, Cars, Bikes, & Cricket!

The trailer is gender-neutral when it comes to skin showing. Bikini vs bare abs. Jacqueline/Nargis vs John/Varun Dhawan. What a delight!

The ‘explosive’ film looks promising. The high-octane ride on expensive, fancy cars and bikes is a huge adrenaline boost. And if this isn’t enough to get your blood pumping, there is always cricket to play on your emotions.

Finally, if you’re looking for the icing on the cake, it’s not ANY cricket match, it’s the India vs Pakistan game. Yeh toh too much hogaya!

Race Against Time!

Either find India’s famous cricketer Viraj Sharma, who went missing in the Middle East, or risk the India vs Pakistan final.

It’s mauka-mauka for Dishoom and co. as the trailer touches the right chord with the audience, who will not want to lose out on an Indo-Pak match – even if it’s not real.

Akshaye Khanna is Back!

Akshaye Khanna is back!

After his stellar performance in Border, the actor returns to the silver screen after a four-year break in Dishoom as Wagha. And he is here again to cause some ‘Hulchul’ between India and Pakistan.

The tables have turned, friends!
