Dum Maro Dum - Notepad

Dum Maro Dum

quick review: Dum Maaro Dum makes a crime thriller as disinteresting as it could be. The lines are limp and the situations are far from creative. The plot is strung together with a series of events that have no flow.

Plot Summary

ACP Kamath (Abhishek Bachchan) is made in-charge of making Goa drug-free. His endeavours with drug peddlars, warlords and unsuspecting, innocent bystanders who are caught in the drug-web.

What did not

Note: This section simply lists the things that I did not like in this movie. This is not the overall impression about this movie. Please read the full review here

  • The very basic plot of a corrupt police-officers sudden urge to do good.
  • Mercy's story around his name.
  • Just a 4-man army to cleanse Goa of its drug problems? Really now?
  • The whole suspense around Michael Barbossa and the repetition - just didn’t arouse any curiosity at all.
  • The party scene between Aditya Pancholi and Abhishek Bachcan - what did it achieve?

guddu:

i am shocked! I can't believe that the movie went so bad.but i will sure watch it,hope i won't be that dissapointed .

Nicky:

The problem with the Indian film Industry these days is that we find ourselves sanwiched between originality and cheap commercial cinema. This is another film belonging to the league of films which are somehwere committed to make a good original film with an interesting subject, good performances and other trappings of good cinema and a film which is formula-based and can comfortably rake in the moolah. We have to comitt ourselves to one. Attempting to do both will take us nowwhere.

bolly:

I have not seen the movie yet but even though I would not disagree with your views I would still watch it because I am bored of cricket for last 2-3 months!

Raj :

Wogmafattymeetu:

What's sad is you calling yourself a reviewer

Dumb bitch, gave Golmaal 3 a higher rating then this.

Wogmafattymeetu:

@Nicky: Yeah and attempting to sound intelligent takes you nowhere

[comment edited due to use of abusive language]

meetu:

@guddu so what did you think?

@nicky but this one did neither, no?

@bolly ha ha ha...there's a reason!

@Mohan uhhh...both?

@Wogmafattymeetu hilarious username! ha ha ha ha

guddu:

why was i so much excited about it? cause Sriram as a script writer or the beard boy abhishek.i forgot one thing bipasha basu who has never given a hit since no entry. Damn if i had taken ur advice,i am now drolling for my money and my time wasted for this.i will never watch a film until i have full faith on every single cast and crew.

meetu:

@guddu it's ok. happens. life hai. :P :P

Suman:

Wow..Wow now u r deleting posts...if u don't like!! [abusive language edited] ur review!!

DC:

Bad Film. Period.

sudhindra:

Sry, but i dont agree.. Its gripping story, the treatment was really good... And the execution was much better... Abhishek bachchan was not that bad, pratiek did justice with the role of teenager... Yeah rana daggubatti n bipasha had very little to do.. But its ok...

vikash sinha:

grt to wtach...........grt job done by Rohan sippy and abhisek bacchan......... guys go and watch...

Indian:

Absolutely rubbish review...one of the "sleek" movies of recent times and great to watch..Abhishek and Rana rocks..and yes, Pritam is back - and how!!!

asanandan:

I heard songs only,Nice composition from pritam. yet to see this movie and i have good hope about abhishek. Wait and see.

Prasshanth nair:

Abhishek bachchan's luck doesn't favour him.His performance is top class in DMD.

No. 8 has influence on his acting.Thats why he always excels in the role of police. But public is disloyal.

They just blindly love Shahrukh.Shahrukh,even other present actors-ranbir,hrithik,Imran,can never do such roles with such a brilliant body language,style and attitude.

Public is helping poor,tasteless films like-haunted,love ka the end. Abhishek bachchan outperforms every other actor-and that too-without dance and six pack abs He is an actor representing a common man.

Neha:

Dipika's dance sizzler was no match for bad script...this movie has all the ingredients in it to make it fail.
