Dum Maaro Dum (2011)
2/10
A long yawn
22 April 2011
There are good movies, there are bad movies and then there are movies that have all the right ingredients and fail to deliver - Dumb Maro Dumb is the third kind.

A crooked cop with all the reasons to go straight. A politician with the will to fight the drug mafia. Three innocent by-standers who were each burnt by the trade and yearn for revenge. A good villain, one you can hate. finally, not the least - Goa.

There ends anything and everything good about this movie. Instead of making a hard, gritty, dirty film Rohan Sippy and this group of writers come up with a tale that doesn't know whether it is going or coming.

Why on Earth would a hard cop rap in the middle of a movie? Abhishek is wasted in a role that fits him to a t.

Pancholi is everything you can expect from him in a role like this. But once again, he isn't given the license to become menacing enough.

The characters of the supporting cops are not allowed to develop enough to allow us to empathize with them.

I missed the last 15 minutes of an Agam concert for this crap, my loss.

Oh! and the Dumb Maro Dumb number is infinitely better in previews than in the movie.
