Dus

Dus had a lot of things going for it, good action, big star cast, chart topping music, and great production values. But it had no story and a very bad screenplay that led to its downfall. This is sad because it had a lot of potential to be great. The title song, Dus Bahane, is the best part of the movie, fast paced song by Vishal-Shekar, pictured well on Abhishek and Zayed is arguably one of the best Hindi film songs in history. The plot is too ridiculous, basically the India anti-terrorist group must stop a plot in Canada. Of the actors only four actors are worth watching; Abhishek Bachchan, Shilpa Shetty, Sanjay Dutt and Pankaj Kapur in that order. I don't even think this film is a decent time pass film.

This is a bollywood production trying to make an action packed thriller like they make in Hollywood! Nothing wrong with that! The movie looks great and is very stylish! But soon these camera effects get very tiresome! The action scenes are edited so badly that it is very difficult to enjoy them! Some of the action scenes are choreographed in such a way that they don't make sense at all! Example of this is the scene where they encounter Gulshan Grover! I cannot begin to describe how stupid it looks when they try to kill him! He just is standing there with a bazooka without decent cover and still they have difficulties getting to him! Wasn't Abishek Bachan supposed to be a sniper! One shot in the head and it's over! No, they keep running around endangering themselves and then throw a grenade! Boom! Sure,it looks cool but also ridiculous at the same time! And it's like the director couldn't decide to make a thriller with action or an action movie full of suspense! On both fronts he fails! The plot is completely uninteresting! The twists and turns can be predicted from early on and the movie keeps dragging on into boredom! The movie does have some solid moments of suspense and drama! But simply not enough to reach the level of "24" (where this movie obvious is influenced by)! Too bad that the end result is like this! With more attention to logic and plot this movie could have been great! Now it just provides (barely) decent entertainment!

Loose ends...weak screenplay and plot development...half hearted attention to details...unnecessary sub-plots and diversions....although must say technical inputs have improved tremendously...Can't they read and discuss scripts before making a movie?..this seems to be happening time and time again in recent times..e.g. Kaal...Bollywood wants to be Hollywood...tries to hold on to classic Bollywood sensibilities with Hollywood glitz and glamour and makes a mess out of it...very disappointed..acting-wise not a bad job by all the four main guys...probably the only other above average department of the movie besides the editing and action sequences....though female characters did not have the space or screen-time.

i was looking forward to his movie unfortunately i was disappointed this was a great action flick when it came to the action but it's weakest point is relying on slow moments too much which hurts this movie a lot i loved Anubhav Sinha's Aapko Pehle Bhi Kahin Dehka Hain and Tum Bin but was very disappointed with this one how could this be an Anubhav Sinha film well since he started working with other producers unfortunately his movies just had that taste to it that this movie didn't have i hope that Tathastu is a good flick and i hope that after that he works with the same producers that he started his career with Dus was just bad unfortunately

An all star caste for a roller coaster movie.

This is a reasonable family film which i'd rate as a 15, there's little nudity (one risky dance scene) and moderate swearing.

An all-round entertainer with fresh ideas for the Bollywood genre.

There's a lot going on in the movie so my tip is to write down some of the names so you can keep up with the pace and plot line.

Would recommend this film to friends and family.

There are only three songs and these are well choreographed.

I would rate this film higher if the characters were better rounded.

Looking forward to more feature films like these.

Thumbs up on this one!
