Dishoom Review

Dishoom was exactly what it was advertised to be " a silly fun somewhat comedic action flick. Varun Dhawan and John Abraham are odd couple buddy cops directed by Varun's brother Rohit Dhawan. It wasn"t the greatest flick, but it was an enjoyable time pass. John Abraham's tough guy custom agent is introduced to us kicking a guy out of an elevator because the poor guy dared to ask him to not smoke. Funny enough. But the next scene was problematic, as Kathy of AccessBollywood.net points out. John discovers his girlfriend is cheating on him, and holds a gun to her head to get the lover to come out of hiding. Completely unnecessary. There are plenty of other scenes to establish how John Abraham's character doesn"t play by the rules, and this threatened violence against women is jarring and the one off moment of the movie. The star player of the Indian cricket team has been captured in an unnamed Mid-Eastern country. John is sent to solve the case and avoid an international incident. Varun is a rookie cop not trusted with more than picking up the captains kids and groceries. He's an interesting character, a Muslim NRI who jumps at the chance to serve India even though he was born abroad. (And in a running gag, he's searching for a bride from India.)
