Bro, Dishoom was different.

Like no joke, this is one of the most criminally underrated mass entertainers Bollywood ever dropped. I don't even know what people were on back in 2016, but clearly they weren't ready for something this fire. Everyone was out there chasing emotional trauma cinema or some slow-burn drama, and here comes Dishoom with that outta-pocket buddy-cop energy, top-tier visuals, thumping music, and a vibe that straight up screams "play me loud."

And yo, people be hyping movies like Pushpa nowadays, calling them peak mass cinema - and sure, they're cool - but let's be real: half that hype is just because they made simple stuff look big. Dishoom didn't try to be deep or overcomplicated. It knew exactly what it was - stylish, funny, fast-paced, and full of moments that just hit. It's like if The Other Guys and Central Intelligence took a trip to Abu Dhabi with Bollywood flair. And that's not even an exaggeration.

Varun Dhawan and John Abraham were cooking. That dynamic? Bro, peak bromance. Add in Jacqueline's whole vibe, Akshaye Khanna playing a proper cartoonish villain (in the best way), and you've got a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously - and that's exactly why it's so damn good.

Let's not forget that music. Sau Tarah Ke, Toh Dishoom, Jaaneman Aah - those tracks were an era. You hear them now and it instantly teleports you back to when Bollywood was still fun. Cinematography? Crisp as hell. The colors, the locations, the camera work - all just way ahead of what most films were doing at the time. It looked international, felt desi.

And okay sure, it had some plot holes. But come on - you're not watching Dishoom for Oscar-tier writing. You're watching it for the ride. The explosions. The chases. The banter. The unfiltered energy. It wasn't pretending to be anything it wasn't. That's rare now.

The real issue? It dropped at the wrong time. 2016 audiences just weren't mentally there yet. They were still digesting Tamasha and Dear Zindagi - nothing wrong with that, but Dishoom was just from another planet. It needed people who could recognize a solid, dumb-fun action-comedy when they saw one. Like how Hollywood treats its buddy-cop bangers - we just didn't have that mindset yet.

And bro... this was made by Eros. Studios like that, Balaji, UTV - they were dropping gems back then. That era? Golden. Actual golden. Dishoom was one of the last of its kind. One of those films you rewatch years later and realize, "Damn, this was actually lit." Nostalgia hits different when it's backed by quality, and this one's got both.

So if you've never seen it - or you judged it off trailers, or vibes back then - do yourself a favor. Set up a screen, blast them speakers, and give it the rewatch it deserves. Appreciate the madness, the chaos, the effort. Appreciate what Bollywood could do when it just let itself have fun.

Because Dishoom ain't just a movie. It's a memory. A lost vibe. A piece of that 2010s masala that's slowly going extinct.

And man, I miss that era.

I would rank bb3 better than bb2 since it really held its plot and made it catchy with twists and turns until the end. It was really difficult to guess the actual plot, throughout the movie I kept getting confused if it's working as a hoax solving like the first one or as an actual horror plot like the second one. But what happened at the end was actually out of the box. So yeah its a one time watch but for ott and not for theatres especially.

Also there are verg few moments that make you feel about that horror or comedic feeling. But when they do it's awesome. Its like they would try and make jokes land But not every joke does But the jokes who do land are awesome. Dayumn

Henceforth ill rank the franchise as: BB1 BB3 BB2.

What should I even call what I just saw, I mean it was supposed to be 'KUNG FU PANDA 4', but it wasnt. I had really high hopes for this even when I knew that furious five was not featuring in it, I had hopes that jack black would make something really interesting out of it for his audience. But sadly and unfortunately it was just a money grabbing and milking opportunity for its makers. Nothing seemed like that I was watching a film from the kung fu panda franchise. The characters, the environment of that china taste, their culture and vibes all of that was missing and especially this wasn't a film on our PO. No character development for him and his companions it was the same po that we left in the KFP3. I mean each part was special because it showed us how he developed into a better version of himself. But here he was just that same old po with less humor and more unnecessary action part.

They put this out just to seek a quick money grabbing opportunity for the production house.

So thats it, I hope if they make a 5th part of the franchise they don't ruin it as they did to this one.
