Dum Maaro Dum - Full Style Zero Substance...totally lacks dum....not worth it for sure...Get the DVD of 1987 'Jalwa' instead...

Hindi movies this year started with a bang in January 2011 and kind of continued with good movies in Feb'2011 as well but since March'11 the releases seem to have gone dry and I guess World Cup is termed as the main factor for that but after World Cup got over with India's glorious and memorable win everyone had thought 'Dum Maro Dum' will be a good movie including me but must say I was disappointed big time.

The movie has lot of style good style but in terms of content its completely lacks substance big time.

The topic of Goa and drugs with rave parties is a great subject but what one makes out of it is upto the maker and 1987 release 'Jalwa' starring Naseeruddin Shah is the best movie made about Goan and Drugs and 1989 release 'Goonj' starring Juhi Chawla and Kumar Gaurav was also quite decent,I would recommend you those but would never recommend this one for sure.

Performance wise the men in the movie were all good - Abhishek Bachhan,Rana Daggubati - Super Hot,Pratiek Babbar and even Aditya Pancholi though would not like to comment about their half baked idiotic characters specially the one of Rana Daggubati's

Dev Anand should have never allowed his cult of a beautiful number(dum maaro dum) to be remade is this trashy manner and pictured in a real cheap vulgar way on Deepika Padukone she looks outright cheap and vulgar no class absolutely I would say Zeenat Aman was a complete Diva in the original one and Deepika Padukone is absolutely nowhere close to that from any angle.

Bipasha Basu looks wow and thats it her character also was half etched and somehow I felt no sympathy at all when she is embroiled in a drug racket because she was so totally responsible for getting herself in the messy situation in the first place and the same applies for Prateik Babbar's character as well.

I had gone with the expectation that at least it would interesting but total waste of time and money and absolutely not worth it.
