Director : Rohit Dhawan

Cast : John Abraham , Varun Dhawan , Jacqueline Fernandez , Akhshaye Khanna  , Saqib Saleem , Rahul Dev



Overview :  John and Varun buddy cop movie , in which you will fall in love with chocolate boy Varun .

Story Line  : The story begins with India and Sri Lanka Cricket Match semi final match in middle east , the hero of the match is Viraj Sharma (Saqib Saleem ) , who wins the match and makes India reach to the final against Pakistan . But in the next moment Viraj is abducted by Bagga who is a big  bookie . Only 2 days are left for the final match . Indian Ministry sends a special task force officer Kabir Shergill (John Abraham ) , to work on this case . He arrives in Middle East and he picks up an Indian –Arab goofy police officer  Junaid Ansari (Varun Dhawan) ,as his co agent to work on the case . Both of them team up and in this journey to hunt for clues they meet Ishika (Jacqueline ) , who is a pick pocketer . She becomes an important link  in finding clues to the kidnapper . From there on the roller coaster  chase starts . Would  Kabir and Junaid be able to rescue Viraj from his  kidnapper  , in time for the final match between India and Pakistan . Its for the audience to watch .



Performance : John is totally wasted in the movie apart from some action scenes in which he  rocks . Most of the time he is busy smoking with a stern face .  Thank God for his hot body otherwise he has no work in the movie .

 Varun Dhawan is the show stealer with his chocalaty looks and cool body . Girls Beware his looks and his hilarious moments are intoxicating . . Varun has played a chirpy guy full of life . He will certainely grab your attention from beginning till end with his comic dialogues and his confidence .

Jacquline as Ishika hardly has any role to play apart from some funny dialogues and her sexy appeal in her song sau tarah ke  mahes up for her acting

Akshay Khanna in a negative role is rocking . He has performed very well as a baddy .

Saqib Saleem as Viraj has acted well depicting patriotism to his fullest for his country

Akhshay Kumar has a special appearance , you will be shocked with his role and he is totally rocking in it , kudos to him

Nargis Fakhri and Parineeti chopra have special apperances , Nargis is looking hot in her bikini role and Parineeti is rocking with a cool song in the end of the movie , she is flaunting her new slim figure .



Rohit Dhawan has directed the movie well but the 2nd part of the movie is slow paced with unnecessary filming some scenes in interior of middle east , though first half is fast paced . The script is poor due to which the movie will  suffer . Though the youngsters will like the movie due to high tech action scenes . Rohit dhawan tried hard to make Rush Hour type buddy cop thriller but due to its clichés it hardly comes  close to it .



The chemistry between Varun and John is great but due to the script it will not have any impact .

The music is good with item no sau tarah and the title track are good and hitting the charts .



Final Words : As far as the Buddy cop thriller Dishoom partly entertaintes . Varun is the highlight of the movie watch it for him only ,   Its  a one time watch
