    In case you think that ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ is a cop story, check out the sizzling chemistry between smouldering hot Bipasha Basu and hunk Rana Daggubati, who light up the screen with their oozing sensuality. Then there is Prateik Babbar and Anaitha Nair`s love story. And yes, the latkas and jhatkas of Deepika Padukone in a sexy item number!

    There's something about Abhishek Bachchan and his cop act. It always works, unlike most of his other screen avatars. Till date, Dhoom remains one of his most memorable performances, where his savoir faire as the sassy policeman stood up commendably to the charisma of the bad guys, John Abraham and Hrithik Roshan. Dum Maaro Dum reiterates the fact that Abhishek seems to be a natural charmer when it comes to slipping into the shoes

    Susegaad', a Konkani word of Portuguese origin that this film uses a lot, aptly describes the Goan state of mind. The word's often misinterpreted to mean a bummer. It refers to a person who's laidback, relaxed (has probably discovered a brighter meaning of life). Only a community as self-assured and chilled-out as the Goans would allow their own city-state's map to be sharply divided among drug cartels operated by outsiders: the Nigerian mafia

    Set a movie against the backdrop of India's very own paradise on earth and you know you're in for a visual treat. Filmmakers shoot songs, weave thrillers or showcase the colourful community of the region through their work. But Rohan Sippy has other plans -- he wants to have fun! Without wasting any time he cuts to the chase and opens DMD with a bang. Catholic boy Lorry (Pratik) wants to settle down with his girlfriend. Fate dictates otherwise

    In the bigger picture, the story of Dum Maaro Dum isn't something one hasn't witnessed before. A corrupt cop turns honest on losing his family. He is summoned to purify a polluted province. A white-collared kingpin operates at large in the region. An innocent chap is engulfed in the nexus. The cop has to liberate the innocent and convict the guilty. Doesn't this sound like a standard scheme of an 80s potboiler? But what makes Rohan Sippy's film

    Watch it nonetheless. The heady cocktail of sex, drugs and dialoguebaazi that Dum Maaro Dum presents you with is hard to come by.

    DUM MAARO DUM is a ‘dumdar’ thriller with a riveting plot and splendid performances. You’ll surely get ‘high’ on it.

    I've often heard irate moviegoers grumble that superior stories are in short supply, but I don't subscribe to this viewpoint. I genuinely feel that we have great stories to narrate, but we mess up on screenplay writing, mutilating a brilliant story in the process. That's an issue with DUM MAARO DUM as well. A fascinating concept may not translate into an enthralling and enticing film, right? Come to think of it, Rohan Sippy has evolved into a stylish storyteller

    Harry Callahan never broke into song. There are things truly tough men do and things they would only grimace at, and Dirty Harry, minutes after asking punks if they felt fortunate, never quite felt the need to explode into rap. To be fair, though, the fact that Abhishek Bachchan's [ Images ] ruthless cop in Rohan Sippy's Dum Maaro Dum inexplicably needs to do a bad Baba Sehgal impersonation isn't the only thing that makes us take his character less seriously

    Drug mafias. Sylvan havens turning into cocaine outposts. Trapped innocents. And a tough-talking cop as saviour. Dum Maaro Dum has a story with the right mix for a thriller, and takes off the mark unerringly, lining up all its ducks in a smart, stylish row. But the great start is belied by a stuttering momentum, making it a film of intermittent pleasures. ACP Vishnu Kamath (Bachchan) arrives in Goa on a twin mission. To put behind a personal tragedy

    Dum Maaro Dum has all the ingredients of crackling entertainment: a sun-kissed but suitably seamy location: Goa. A subject that works as an anti-drug cautionary tale but also provides ample opportunity to revel in the gritty glamour of rave parties, cocaine and formidably toned women wearing as little as possible. A director - Rohan Sippy - who has an edgy sensibility and loves stylistic flourishes. An actor - Abhishek Bachchan - who is channeling

    Where Dum Maaro Dum falters is in its uneven tone, and in its less-than-impressive principal characters — the hero, and the villain.

    On the whole, DUM MAARO DUM is like fast food that’s high on calories, but falls short in the nutrition department. Yes, it’s slick, stylish and well-crafted, but the fact remains that it lacks the power [in its second hour specifically] to create a dum-daar impression. Business-wise, DUM MAARO DUM caters more to the youth in metros than the hardcore masses in general. Its business in plexes of Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Gurgaon, Chandigarh, Hyderabad and Bengaluru in particular will be the best. The Nizam-Andhra circuits in particular will also contribute a good chunk thanks to Rana Daggubati’s presence. But the traditional circuits may not react as strongly. In a nutshell, the business is likely to be divided between metros and non-metros, between weekend and weekdays.

    Dum Maaro Dum looks to be a new experiment for Bluffmaster team Rohan Sippy and Abhishek Bachchan as they explore the drugs and hippie lifestyle in Goa.

    Dum Maaro Dum', directed by Rohan Sippy, is a heady cocktail of crime, deceit, love, sex and drama. And yet, somehow, it fails to come together as the slick action thriller that it set out to be. The chief culprit here is the haphazard way this story is told. 'Dum Maaro Dum' is about the drug mafia in Goa, and about how one surly, daredevil cop ACP Vishnu Kamath (played by Abhishek Bachchan) is sent to clean up the paradise state. The film’s first half unfolds leisurely
