Dus

Dus released in 2005 directed by anubhav sinha is a good spy thriller with solid storyline and effective performances. Veteran pankaj kapur plays antagonist jamwal with ease, spontaneity and depth and proves why he is considered as a great actor. Rest performances are effective too. Sanjay dutt, shilpa shetty, abhishek bachchan, esha deol, sunil shetty, rajendra sethi and others deliver good performances. Dus specialty lies in unpredictable aspects. We don't know what happens next. Lots of material has been taken from the usual suspects, Hollywood thriller. Scene to scene transformation is the main aspect of the script. A must watch.

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

What applies to the cooks and broth applies to stars and movie too. Dus was a disappointment to say the least. The only saving grace is the soundtrack... especially the title track.

The storyline was the same old Bollywood formula. The casting was OK but their acting was terrible! Sanjay Dutt looks bored all through the movie. He is better as a munnabhai or a Raghu Shivalkar. Shilpa Shetty's role is quite forgettable. The grunge clothes and the fake tattoos don't really go well on her. AB Jr and Zayed Khan looked hot. Isha Deol was horrible!! First half of the movie was still bearable... second half was more torturous on the audience than on the villains!!! The best part of the movie was Pankaj Kapur. His acting was brilliant. Too bad that its wasted on a movie like this.

I'd advise you to wait for the DVD to come out. Don't buy it. Just rent it... watch the title track (excellent choreography) and then just return it!

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.
