A wafer-thin plot, flashy action sequences, crowd-pleasing dialogues and a bevy of beauties gyrating to some foot tapping number. 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.

Dear Naseeruddin Shah, we love you as an actor, but we’re just getting a little tired of your ‘intellectual means having an opinion about every one and every thing’ narrative. Your recent dig at Rajesh Khanna sure touched the wrong nerve. What’s with the high-handedness? 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!
