One is Mr. Hot, another is Mr. Cool, and together they are in hunt of Mr. Charming – This was pretty much the stage and setting of Dishoom, a true popcorn action affair that had John Abraham and Varun Dhawan to pair up as Indian origin Gulf based cops were out to nab a criminal (Akshaye Khanna) who had kidnapped a star player (presumably based on Virat Kohli), Saqib Saleem. With Jacqueline Fernandez joining the chase with a mysterious aura around her glamorous persona, Dishoom became all the more enticing.

The film was clearly on the lines of many such films belonging to the genre that is quite popular in Hollywood. Two men as cop partners bringing their own antics into play with a different style of operation is a staple set up out there. In that sense, Dishoom succeeded quite well. The promo did well and the song ‘Sau Tarah Ke’ by Pritam turned out to be quite popular as well before release. Moreover with cricket and action coming together, the combination turned out to be further lethal.

However, what brought the house on fire was Akshay Kumar’s cameo as a gay man in Dishoom. He was just brilliant in his sequence with John and Varun and gave audiences their paisa vasool moment. It was clearly one of the best-written cameos for the superstar and director Rohit Dhawan made sure that it was all worth it.
