Rohan Sippy’s ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ might not be the best made powerful suspense thriller, but it is infused with the right elements that makes it entertaining.
Director Rohan has created a novelistically textured film that is satisfying in many ways and sustains the viewer’s interest, even though there are some glaring problems in pacing.
However, the drama does surpass expectations with some nail-biting moments in the end.
‘Dum Maaro Dum’ is a new decade film that supposedly makes you revisit the commercial potboilers of former Bollywood films.
Rohan Sippy’s latest venture DMD, which is inspired from the Hollywood film ‘Traffic,’ is a gripping work by the director. He has triumphantly brought to life the not so rousing script by Sridhar Raghavan.
Abhishek Bachchan did manage to sink his teeth into the role of an angry cop, while Rana and Prateik have managed to deliver an effective performance.
Even Bipasha has performed her role creditably, while Pancholi doesn’t gracefully depict the baddie.
The film seems to be appealing for its stylized cuts, and the visual effects do keep the viewers rivetingly engaged.
Lots might have been said about Bipasha and Rana’s alleged affair; however, the smoldering chemistry between the two is dramatic.
Storyline
ACP Kamat (Abhishek Bachchan) has been assigned with the responsibility to clean the highly polluted Goa from the drug lords and sex trade.
Vishnu, who was once a corrupt cop, is now on a mission to bring back the glory of Goa on the persistence of the Goa Chief Minister.
However, fighting the drug mafia is not an easy task, but he sets out to take the daring step to punish the culpable.
To fight the dangerous enemies, he begins his investigation with two of his assistants by his side, namely Mercy (Muzammil S. Qureshi) and Rane (Govind Namdeo).
During his assignment, Vishnu nabs Lorry (Prateik Babbar), who in desperate need for money to finance his education abroad takes the wrong path and becomes a drug carrier, after his friend Ricky convinces him into the cocaine trade.
While Joki (Rana Daggubati), a musician who knows Lorry is innocent, wants to save him, since he couldn’t save his girlfriend Bipasha Basu from the nasty drug net.
However, in his quest to help Lorry, Joki himself gets enmeshed in the thicket of the drug net.
Kamat, who begins to investigate with the help of these two aides, finds out that Lorsa Biscuta (Pancholi), who happens to control the drug trade across Goa, is aided by the drug kingpin Michael Barbosa, who lurks in the shadows until the very end.
Bottom line
A racy screenplay could have helped to keep away from the tedious story-telling. In spite of jerks in the narration, ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ is an impressive entertaining edifice, with scintillating music by Pritam.
On the whole, 'Dum Maaro Dum' proves to be winning ride for Abhishek. Check it out for sure.
