Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
best movie i've ever seen.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
E-Niwas who made the cult film SHOOL followed by the decent LOVE KE LIYE KUCH BHI KAREGA which flopped came back with DUM(2003) which was a flop. The film has a done to death story which works against it The story is not just predictable, it's done to death However some scenes are well handled like Vivek clash with Atul Kulkarni, Several other scenes like Mukesh Rishi's flashback too is well handled but the film gets prolonged in second half and finally ends on a predictable note,The director too resorts to nonsense things to move the story forward like Vivek lifting up 80ks of Weight.Direction is okay but the script suffers due to predictabilityMusic is decent, Title Song was superbly choreographed, rest songs are okayVivek Oberoi plays his part well, this was his 4th film after COMPANY,ROAD and SAATHIYA which won him laurels but this film flopped Dia Mirza is okay, Atul Kulkarni is simply outstanding and makes you hate him, Govind Namdeo,Yashpal Sharma and rest are typecast Mukesh Rishi is okay,Sheeba is okay
Vivek plays a man who dreams of becoming a officer; as his training begins he encounters a corrupt police officer who begins a vendetta against him...The film is an average action film that is meant to entertain and it does..yes some of the fights are unrealistic but when you're bored...its very appealing...The Dum song was also entertaining...while Vivek Oberoi's career never see's daylight again...Diya Mirza is pretty as always and provides the much needed eye candy...thats about it..
As the title suggests, it takes a lot of Dum(guts) to go up against corruption within any police force, but Viveik Oberoi, who plays the main protagonist, a young man whose life long dream is to become a man in uniform is determined to step up to the plate. The film revolves around this young man and his daily family life which is shattered when a simple outing with his girlfriend (played by Diya Mirza) lands him on the most wanted list of a very corrupt police inspector whom Viveik's character attacks in defense of Diya's. His family and friends become a target as a battle of who's who ensues for the next one and a half hour of the film, in which there is a lot of heartbreak, bloodshed and tears and the audience is left at the edge of their seat to see who will emerge triumphant in this battle? Will it be the plucky police wannabe boy with big dreams and a short temper, or the corrupt iron-fisted police inspector which a thirst for blood? To find out, don't miss a single second of Dum!
