Dus

This film is one piece of a joke. A complete mishmash of wannabe cool action scenes and heroes (and heroines), all lifted from different famous foreign action movies. Awfully uninspiring, terribly melodramatic and overdone, with a cliché and unoriginal screenplay. The cast is just one bunch of poseurs. Abhishek Bachchan is in the lead, and he is awfully miscast as the "tough" cop. Sanjay Dutt has nothing to do there. Sunil Shetty unsurprisingly overdoes his role and Zayed Khan is more laughable than funny with his annoying fake accent. Shilpa Shetty's Tomb Raider look is one of many mistakes made in the career of an otherwise talented actress who did not get good role offers. At times I was really wondering what the director was thinking while copying some of the most famous scenes of Hindi films. Like, for one, the group song which had them all singing a song when out of nowhere they noticed Sanjay Dutt's serious expression, stopped singing, and then, he suddenly starts singing and dancing with them in a very cheesy way. It is so clearly lifted from the song "Mehndi Laga Ke Rakhna" from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge, involving Amrish Puri and Shahrukh Khan. The final scene is simply pathetic, and so is this film. Avoid this dreadful cheapo at any cost.

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 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 !

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!
