Daud is a comedy road adventure film written and directed by Ram Gopal Varma and stars Sanjay Dutt, Urmila Matondkar, Paresh Rawal, Late Neeraj Vora, Ashish Vidyarthi and Manoj Bajpayee.
A Paltry thief assigned to steal a unknown packet allegedly containing gold.
Although the film is very straight and predictable but still the film can be called as the guilty pleasure for any lazy Sunday afternoon. The film is filled with some superb acting, memorable comedy, great music, decent choreography with some decent action, the film can easily be called as typical Bollywood masala flick.
Acting is probably the strongest aspect of the film and all the actors were impressive. Sanjay Dutt and Urmila looked great with each other and complimented each other perfectly. Late Neeraj Vora being the most impressive with his impeccable acting and the character played by him 'Chako' is not only impressive but also immortal and will be remembered for ages. Paresh Rawal on the other hand was in my opinion was equally impressive and he shares the limelight with Late Neeraj Vora. Manoj Bajpayee's initial film and he looked good, Ashish Vidyarthi looked impressive in the role of policeman.
Screenplay of the film was average but still will keep you engaged the screenplay of the film could've been more crisped and the length of the film which is close to 03 hours might pinch few viewers. Music by A. R. Rahman is superb and songs like 'Shabba Shabba' and 'O Bhavre' are still popular. The climax of the film is typical Bollywood climax.
Overall the film is not as ban as the reviews suggest and can easily be termed as guilty pleasure for many of us which include me.
