Dum Maaro Dum , a movie which i personally was waiting.right from the first trailer to the songs to the characters ,i found DMD very interesting.DMD has created quite a buzz -number of characters,chartbuster songs, beautiful locales and many other factors are the reason for it.DMD has a thrilling idea.its a well put story on paper but does it translate into an engaging thriller ? yes it does.the first hour establishes the characters and the story does not move much.first hour is quite average.but its the second half which gives this thriller an edge.climax will surely shock the viewer.also its well executed.dialogues are a mainstay of this movie.background score is good.music is superb.every songs is a gem.action is very raw and rustic which might appeal to the youth but not to the family audience.cinematography is superb.Goa is captured beautifully Rohan Sippy executes the subject with panache and style.its one of his finest works.DMD also works because of its performances.Abhishek Bachchan sinks into the teeth of the role and delivers a fine performance.it ranks amongst his good works.Bipasha Basu has a small role but she is perfect for it.Rana daggubati is a delight to watch.the debutante is very promising.Aditya Pancholi is superb.Pratiek Babbar springs in a pleasant surprise.he is brilliant. Govind Namdeo is excellent.the supporting cast is good especially the actor playing the young cop "merci". Vidya Balan is alright.Deepika sizzles in her track.overall,DUM MAARO DUM is a gripping thriller with superb performances and lilting music.

The film never grabbed my attention! The only good thing about the film are the songs, but due to a poor plot the film really didn't go well, and no surprise it suffered at the box office. Abhishek should really stay away from parts that require him to play a cop or do any action - he cannot do it! Bipasha is fine in her role, Pancholi does well, Rana Daggubati is decent and Prateik Babbar is a fine actor!

Movie is good, nothing new or great but the presentation and execution of story done very well. Specially pre-interval execution is brilliant like Vishal Bhardwaj's Kaminey where one has to be very attentive while watching the movie. Story is usual masala movie nothing new but still it works. All actors have acted very well except Aditya Pancholi who does'nt suit much in the given character.

One Thing Is Sure That Dum Maaro Dum Has Got Dum In It. No matter what others say about the film. The film is a very fine thriller. The film's uniqueness lies in it's editing and slick direction. Abhishek is a tough and honest cop. But earlier he was a bribe loving cop who will go to any extent to fulfill the material desires of his family until one incident snatches his wife and child from him. Goa is a place to be. Great beaches and sea side. But "Jannat Mein Bhi Saamp Baste Hain Aur Saale Kya Daste Hain". Unfortunately Goa has been turned into a drug haven by few bad people and the kingpin of the whole mess is drug lord, Aditya Pancholi. Abhishek is given the task to clean the place of all the mess by none other than the chief minister himself. He agree provided that no questions would be asked about his way of work and the team he chooses. Will he be able to clean up the mess and restore jannat is what the film is all about. Abhishek as a cop has done a very fine job. Aditya Pancholi as drug lord is also nice but could have looked more villanious. Bipasha shines in her role. Pratiek really looks like an innocent guy. Rana dagubatti as Prateik's brother also fits in his role very well. Overall the film is a thriller and it's climax is gonna shock one and all. I fail to understand how Taran Adarsh can give 2.5 stars to this film. This unfortunately only lowers his credibility. Just go for it!!

Under its tranquil sands, warm waters, vivacious party scene and the susegaad attitude, Goa hides its atrocious face that is smeared with rave parties, drugs, sex and scandals. In desperate times, some ambitious Goans fall victim to the malicious schemes that bring easy money but at life's irreplaceable cost. While the innocent fall prey to the Goan mafia, one man seeks to overturn this nexus and clean up the state of its misplaced virtues. Aided by some 'Untouchable' men from the Police force, ACP Vishnu Kamath heads the relentless hunt for the narcotics kingpins of Goa. Lorry (Prateik Babbar) aspires to join his girlfriend in pursuit of further studies abroad but the denial of his financial aid, leads him to a local narcotics dealer who promises a career as long as he can be their carrier (of drugs). Greed, desperation and the lure of easy money are enough to convince Lorry and soon, he falls prey to the inescapable circle of crime. He is soon sent to juvenile prison, courtesy of Kamath's astute raid at the airport where DJ Joki (Rana Daggubati) assures Kamath of Lorry's innocence but to no avail. Joki's girlfriend from yesteryears, Zoe (Bipasha Basu) had a similar fate when her ambition to become an air-hostess turned fowl and her ticket to freedom from a lengthy jail term was to switch loyalties to Lorsa Biscuta (Aditya Pancholi), the evil kingpin in this entire game. Kamath performs raid after raid in the background of a random rap song and gets ever closer to Biscuta's operations. But beyond this Kingpin is a secretive Lord to whom the mafia turns to in critical times. Who is this Michael Barbossa and what key does he hold to Goa's narcotics crime? Can Joki prove Lorry's innocence to Kamath? Will Zoe break her bonds from Biscuta? Will Vishnu Kamath rid Goa off its poison? On the faces of the multi-dimensional characters who have a marked presence of drugs in their lives, there is a glimmer of hope that life will change for the better. Vishnu Kamath and the drug lords will decide what its price will be..... The engaging narrative is the effect of Sridhar Raghavan's ('Family', 'Bluffmaster', 'Apharan' & 'Khakee') scrupulous writing and Rohan Sippy's slick and crafty film making. A simple Cop v/s Drug peddler story is treated with stylish cinematography, seamless editing techniques, brutal action, convoluted screenplay and adroit direction. Rohan Sippy does not shy away from portraying sex, drug abuse, violence and awkward relationships with liberal profanity. Bandarkar meets RGV meets Sanjay Gupta. The combined effect of it all makes Goa look real and sizzling. Bipasha Basu looks sensational in almost every scene. Somehow, even in a prison cell. We shouldn't mind getting used to seeing her play serious characters after 'Lamhaa' and DMD. Prateik Babbar looks and sounds innocent throughout and instantly commands sympathy while Aditya Pancholi's presence would inspire indifferent reactions. Perhaps such a shrewd character would better suit the likes of Mahesh Manjrekar, Boman Irani, Irfan Khan or even a negative Sanjay Dutt? Rana Daggubati is the film's highlight reel of performances with his susegaad lifestyle causing the bane of his loved ones. Yet, he portrays a reserved determination to make things right by aiding Vishnu Kamath's operation. Abhishek Bachchan has his best film since 'Sarkar Raaj' and clearly, playing the no nonsense cop is better suited to him than being at the other end sometimes as Beera. Playing Vishnu, whose past screams of the horrors of drug use, his unsettled state can only find solace in the eradication of the poison that is absorbed in Goa. The junior Bachchan does not let go of such meaty roles that come his way where his prowess being an angry young man comes naturally on screen. Pritam's music has melodious shades with Te Amo and Kyun Jiye which are brought to life by Rana's on screen romance with the gorgeous Bipasha. The super-hit Mit Jaaye Gum rocks with a scantily clad Deepika and is well suited to the situation. For its witty dialogues, fluid camera work, slick editing, intriguing mystery and stylized direction, Dum Maaro Dum does have Dum in it to provide some different kind of entertainment. Its flaws however, include mildly resonating characters, a Cop-Crime story that is almost overdone and some overly experimental touches such as the rap song in a shoot-out. Yet, it is definitely a worthy watch in the theater for its stylized narration of an 80's theme if not for any moralistic value. The thrill in its succinct length will, at the very least, take you out of your Susegaad of recent films. 7.999 on a scale of 1-10.
