There was so much of antagonistic vibes about the movie prior to the release.People were more sort of afraid rather than reluctant to see Junior AB in the action after his utter fail &quot;Game&quot;. Personally speaking, my mates even bullied mea goose like die hard fan of Abhishek (Some even felt that I watched premier due to Dipeeka&#39;s number, perverts!).<br/><br/>Let me clarify in the beginning only that a film cant work on sheer style (eg. Tashan) or sheer story (eg. Salaam - E - Ishq / Dus Kahaniyaan). A film should be okay in all the fields of cinema and brilliant in some of them. Here the movie is brilliant in direction,script and star cast.<br/><br/>Jr ABcop, RanaDJ, Pratiek-Anaithateen lover all are perfect.Bipasha lacks edge.Aditya Pancholi is good.Rest are okay.<br/><br/>Screenplay is good. Dialogues are crisp and witty at the same time entertaining.<br/><br/>Cinematography by Amit Roy is brilliant. Camera angles have never been more slick.<br/><br/>Music by Prittam is a mixed bag.BGM by MIDIval Punditz is mind blowing. Almost Rahmanic! (They are Telefon Tel Aviv for Indians!)<br/><br/>A very well directed movie by Rohan Sippy. Full of style and sensibility. This is the third consecutive film of his with Jr AB (Kuch Naa Kaho and Bluffmaster) and the co ordination is clearly visible.<br/><br/>So take a puff darling and enjoy this stylish flick!<br/><br/>Goa was never so splendorous! Lookedif I was watching Rio De Janeiro. By the time when movie ends, you are smiling. If a film starts off with a not so good or average first half but then gives you a very fine and entertaining second one, then it can be a winner at the box office (For instance,&quot;Yamla Pagla Deewana&quot;). But if a film gives you a well paced, fine first half and then suddenly delivers a comparatively dull and unentertaining second one then in most of the cases, the path may not be smooth.<br/><br/>Unfortunately this is the case with DMD, which starts off perfectly and makes a fine impression with a well made speedy first half. Butyou excitingly sit back to watch its second half with great expectations, the pace drops and the film fails to deliver anything great or shockingdesired.Before the intermission, it also adds an extra element of suspense around the identity of one Michael Borbusa. But right after the interval, the film loses track and is not able to maintain the same kind of pace or interest for the viewerswitnessed in its initial reels.<br/><br/>Now post intermission,firstly it has nothing new to offer to the audiencea good entertaining thriller with a touch of mystery. Secondly, the revelation of the secret identity towards the end is not capable of giving any kind of big shock or surprise to the viewers. Thirdly the concluding hour of the film seems to be too long with most of the people getting killed one by one without any great interesting build up. And lastly there are too many feebly visible scenes in the second half where the screen remains quite dull and dark for much longer periods making the viewers a bit restless after a while.<br/><br/>However the bitter and unusual truth about DMD remains that at one side I really liked the way the film was designed and conceived in its first part. But at the same time I found the second half very loose, tiring and unconvincing which in the end results in just an average kind of impact on the viewer. The writers fail to encash upon the brilliant curiosity level generated around the name of Michael Borbusa. Once the identity is disclosed, it turns out to be notgreat and excitingexpected. <br/><br/>The major highlight of the film, its item song, &quot;Dumm Maaro Dumm&quot; also fails miserably since its not at all enjoyable from any angle. The song neither has any great dance moments nor is it able to make you feel like dancingit is played. The biggest problem with this remix lies in its Antra, which was in fact the main attraction of the Original Track composed by R. D. Burman. In the original song the lines &quot;Duniya Ne Humko Diya Kya&quot; make you feel like going higher with the high notes and then returning back to the main line. But in this latest version, the innovative composition has been badly tweaked by Pritam to the level of unacceptability. Further, the icing on this sour cake comessome highly ridiculous lyrics, surprisingly written by the otherwise thoughtful Jaideep Sahni. Deepika Padukone on which the song is picturised does nothing but just staring and making some sensuous moves with the minimum clothes on.<br/><br/>In the acting department, first of all I have some serious concerns with the casting director. One, why to use Govind Namdeo for such a major role, who is already known and famous for many similar acts done before on the screen (giving un-necessary suggestions to the viewers)? Why to bring in Rana Daggubati for a not so well written character and introduce him to the Hindi audience in such a weak manner? And more importantly Why to cast Deepika Padukone in the sexy, item number, when you already have a better sex siren Bipasha Basu in your cast of the movie itself to render the over-famous track? Further I also couldn&#39;t guess, What was the need of roping in Vidya Balan for only 1-2 scenes in the movie.<br/><br/>Coming to Abhishek Bachchan, he seriously needs to take care of his career choices made since all his major decisions taken in the last few years have gone wrong. Also his mannerisms and acting style has started giving you the feeling of Deja-Vu, which should be a big concern for an actor. In DMD too, he gives you nothing fresh in terms of acting but only looks smart and younger in his modern police persona. Aditya Pancholi too remains the sameseen earlier many years back. Both Rana Daggubati and Bipasha Basu play their under-written roles well. Govind Namdeo is repetitive and Anaitha Nair is wasted. So, once again the pick of the lot turns out to be Prateik Babbar, who superbly proves the acting genes in him very strongly. He alone gives the most impressive performance in the moviethe innocent victim.<br/><br/>The director Rohan Sippy gives the right treatment to the movierequired by its theme. But he sadly doesn&#39;t give the much required attention to the script in the second half. He does give you some extremely bold scenes, like the torture scene in the jail but they are not enough in numbers throughout the film. Musically I liked &quot;Na Aaye Ho&quot; and &quot;Thanye Thanye&quot; numbers more and would only like to praise the arrangement of the song &quot;Dumb Maaro Dumb&quot; but not its lyrics. Cinematography of the film is great in its first half but I couldn&#39;t appreciate the deliberately kept dark tone in its second half which was used in excess and could have been avoided.<br/><br/>Overall, for me the film was very fine before its intermission, but post that I was not able to enjoy it entirely. So it would be very absurd to say that you can watch it only for its first half. Still the choice is all yours.
