Dus- a movie for those who want to just go in, have a blast and come out... No value add, just time pass... Start thinking why this is all happening, and you miss the blitzkreig happening on screen.


Five members of ATC - anti terrorist cell, India- Siddharth [Sanjay Dutt], his sibling Shashank[Abhishek Bachan], Aditi [Shilpa Shetty] , her brother Aditya [Syed Khan] and Roy (dont know the chap's name), rock and roll in first sequence, diffusing bombs and kicking terrorists in their rear. From the captured terrorists and Intelligence report, they get to know that a bigshot terrorist 'Jamwal' is planning a huge ambush on somebody on 10th May, which would be causing deaths of at least 25000 people... Hmm... A story told over and over...


Added pressure on the government from corrupt members in the cabinet [already in Jamwal's pocket] to close down ATC as they are getting too close. They have one week to track ''Dus tarikh ko kya hone wala hain'' and to find out the traitor amongst them[you wouldnt have to rack your brains much to know] before they are closed down. Shashank and Aditya go to Canada to take over from secret agent Neha[Isha Deol], and to kidnap Himmat Mehandy[Pankaj Kapoor] supposedly, the right hand of Jamwal... Danish [Suniel Shetty], a canadian police officer joins forces with them...


Meanwhile in Delhi, Sidharth and Shashank's sister Anu [Diya mirza], and her fiance are kidnapped by terrorists. What happens when the ATC and a canadian policeman join together and try to figure out something that looks messy both to the cast and to the viewers?


The story is absolute crap, except some twists that strike you like a bolt from the blue. There are many huge mistakes like the body of a girl killed on 4th of May lies intact till 9th with red color blood flowing from her forehead, and without rotting... The romance between Abhishek and Isha towards the end adds salt to the viewers' wounds.


The performance of the heroes are matched only by the performance of Pankaj Kapoor. Syed is adorable, Abhishek is the most stylish, Sanjay Dutt is convincing and Suniel shetty is boring. Of heroines, Diya is the best though she has nothing much to do. Isha Deol looks like a walking corpse and Shilpa Shetty looks aged.


Stunts are awesome, smartly picturized except some minor glitches. Music rocks, and all three songs are equally well picturized. Choreography is also good. The camera has captured a lot of scenic locations in Canada.


Over all- tolerable... Watchable for the music, the color, the style and the stunts... And of course, Pankaj Kapoor's antics. Watch it and for sure, you will come out humming ''Say Hae nao hea nao...''
