Dus

I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. I thought great,another macho,action- Indian flick, but was pleasantly surprised when I actually found myself enjoying it. The film is magnificently produced. The acting is outstanding and the narrative, unbelievably good. You could be fooled into thinking your were watching a Hollywood film, rather then an Indian one at times. The action scenes and special effects were amazingly realistic, proving that a lot of care and attentive details went into making this movie.

Abhishek Bachchan has proved his critics wrong and proudly displayed his acting heritage. Not only did he act good but came across very confident in his character, something that his earlier films lacked. Watch this space, the new king it seems has finally arrived. Zayed Khan also exceeded expectations and was enjoyable to watch. Sanjay Dutt was in top form as were the rest of the cast. Pankaj Kapoor was also brilliant and showed off his versatile acting range.

Although this film may not win any big awards it was thoroughly great to watch. The soundtrack was also hip and modern. All in all,this film comes highly recommended.

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.

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

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.
