Story –

In the course of his crusade he apprehends Laurie, a teenager who is used by the drug mafia as a carrier. Joki, a musician who has lost his love, Zoe, to the drug mafia, wants to help Laurie and partners with the ACP. A drug king pin Lorsa Biscuita is responsible for the security of a drug consignment worth crores. Lastly, there is a mysterious Michael Barbosa who has never been seen. Let the chase begin.
Review –
The narrative in the first half of the movie hooks you to each character and their backstory. But somewhere in the beginning of the second half, the narrative fades to the point of being dull. The only reprise, for some, is the title track featuring Deepika Padukone.
The cinematography by Amit Roy and the editing by Aarif Shaikh are the highlights of the film. Dialogues penned by Purva Naresh are fun and entertaining. They fit in perfectly with situations, at least in most parts of the film. The background score by Midival Punditz is worth mentioning.
In terms of performances, Abhishek Bachchan portrays ACP Vishnu Kamat with a punch, but still has a long way to go in terms of the original ‘Angry Young Man’. Prateik Babbar is one actor who surprises with each passing film. Rana Daggubati makes an admirable debut. Bipasha is good as the glam factor. Aditya Pancholi does a decent job. Govind Namdeo and Anaitha Nair leave a mark.
The movie has all the style and glamour to pimp it up, but lacks the same efficiency on the screenplay front. Dum Maaro Dum makes for a decent one time watch.
