Dum Maaro Dum - movie review



One of the better films. Script is short, so it is stretched with tolerable songs and a couple of useless scenes. Movie never gets preachy. Dialogues are good, not irritative.

Camera work is excellent except when it comes to fight scenes. They have sprinkling of Goan/Portuguese(?my guess?) words, but its not overdone. Suspense is good, the fizz provided by it is fun too. A bit lacking logic at times, the plot remains believable.


So AB Jr. doesn't disappoint. No complaints, good performance from him.


Prateik Babbar continues to shine but needs more screen time than what was given to him. And also he needs kick ass dialogues if he wants to be a star and not just an actor.

Veteran actor Govind Namdeo is solid

while actor from down south Rana Daggubati is good too, and is perfect for role of Goan boy

Aditya Pancholi continues to be a good(!!) villain.


Now eye-candy is good for those who think Bipasha is hot (me)


and also for those who think Skinny-Bonny Deepika is hot.


And finally Goa. Now I have not been to Goa, I mean going there as a kid (when I was in class 4th) doesn't count. So I don't know how much authentic it is as compared to what is show in DMD, but it looked authentic enough.

They tried to capture all possible moods of Goa and it comes out as competent effort. The drugs part won't scare people away from Goa, but at least it will alarm the ignorant ones. Anyway, a bit more pace, a bit more thrill, and more superb one-liners and this movie would have been perfect.

Good Review...
However I haven't watched the movie; but your review says it is at least a one time recommendable, and depends on what your perceptions are - apart from the 'acting' pouring out from certain performances! :)

Keep writing.

Cheers,
