Just before an India-Pakistan minister, sporting a big bindi, receives a video with a Pakistani kidnapper threatening to kill Viraj. Muttering'Is news se dange ho sakte hain', Ms. MEA sends in India's secret weapon - surly, chain-smoking top-cop Kabir(John), assisted by Junaid(Varun). Kabir and Junaid find Ishika(Jacqueline), a hot chor, and several suspicious characters including cricket aficionado Wagah(Akshaye) and rock-faced Rahul Dev, playing Altaf from'Abudhin', a nation of tigers and terrorists.
But can they find Viraj?
Dishoom is made electric by Junaid and Kabir's chemistry. Varun plays a funny, ne-liners are stars in themselves - whether it's Junaid scolding Kabir, "Gana pasand nahin tha, toh bol dete - music system todne ki kya zaroorat thi?" or a brilliant little to-and-fro about iPads and Lagaan, the dialogues keep you giggling, even in tense moments. As could the entire film. If Dishoom had less fantasy - Abudhin lies somewhere between Game of Thrones and press conference - the world needs to know."
But as an entertainer, Dishoom delivers. If you're good with laughter, not logic, Dishoom is actually two much fun.
