Dus

I wasn't surprised that the movie was such a painful waste of 3 hours. What I don't understand is this! Why Bollywood movies take everything to emotional level and just make the whole thing a headache. Overpoured emotions in everything they do, every dialoge, every action is full of emotions even in a so called hi-fi action movie. Another thing I hate about Bollywood is that it has yet to come out of excessive and unnecessary use the computerization of actions and scenes. I just don't know why they unnecessarily put a loud music behind every scene which is done by one of those sentimental heroes and made the whole action modified by the computerization, it just makes it unbearable. I would rather keep the whole thing flow naturally and something people can relate to. I am sure lot of people like such a dreamy drama but at the end it just doesn't make sense at all. I can understand that they keep on making the stuff that sells, without worrying whether or not it makes sense. Good luck!

I couldn't wait for this film to come out, the weeks prior I was eagerly anticipating its release singing along to the sensational title song released off the soundtrack (Dus Bahaane). The movie stars some of the most sort after hottest talent around in Bollywood at the moment, Abisheck (watch out king Khan) Bachan, Sanjay Dutt, Zayed Kahn & Suneil Shetty. The feminine factor is provided by the Beautiful Shilpa Shetty & Esha Deol.

The film begins with a bang, and for an action movie, not the kind you'd expect, as is the trend more & more these days, an item number (the title song) is laid upon us in the opening reel, Zayed Kahn & Abisheck wow us with their good looks and slick suits singing along to "Dus Bahaane". The actual story centre's around the ATC (Anti-Terrorist-Cell), a special forces police force led by Sanjay Dutt. His best officers are Abisheck (also his on-screen younger brother), Zayed & Shilpa. The officers are led to believe from the opening 20 minutes that a major terrorist sort the world over is planning something BIG on the 10th May, exactly 10 days from the start of the film. The clues lead the team to Canada.

In Canada we are introduced to Esha Deal, she plays Neha an undercover officer working for the ATC, she welcomes Abisheck & Zayed who've been sent out by Sanjay to hunt down the terrorist "Jhamwhal". Here the movie accelerates into an explosive pace to catch the terrorist, with lots of twists & turns and great music numbers. The action scenes are a real class act for an Indian film and shows the leaps and bounds Bollywood has made in this area over the years.

The ending is some what disappointing as well as surprising but not in the good way, but all in all a good masala action flick !

The movie had better action sequences than I had expected. It also contained interesting twists along the way, some of which concluded in a very predictable manner though. If you enjoy a fast paced action thriller, this is a movie for you.

The story seems to be twice-told at first, but when we realize that the anti- terrorist cell's dissolution has been ordered in a weeks time, it truly becomes a do or die situation for the agents. The personal sacrifices, double agents, mistaken identities, high speed car chases, hot item songs, foreign locations and all other essentials of an action flick are neatly assembled.

My complaints are that the clichéd song dance routine taking place in the lead actor's imagination has continued to find its place. Zayed Khan is an overall disappointment. Pankaj Kapoor has emerged as a surprise package with an excellent performance.Sanjay Dutt is good as usual, strong performances by Abhishek and Suniel. Shilpa Shetty looks stunning and dresses accordingly.

Overall a well made film with great sound and special effects, slightly exaggerated action and a mass appeal due to its vast star cast.

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!

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
