When two of the hottest hunks of Bollywood come together for a movie, you know you're in for a sizzling (skin) show. Dishoomfeatures two of the most good looking actors of the industry, John Abraham and Varun Dhawan, who've come together for the first time in Rohit Dhawan's directorial debut. Interestingly, Dhawan is the son of acclaimed director David Dhawan, and Varun's brother.

The trailer opens with stunning long shots of a cricket stadium and a voiceover talking about India's batting sensation Viraj (Saqib Saleem). Viraj, however, ends up getting kidnapped 36 hours before a crucial match for India, and it is up to Kabir Shergill (John Abraham) and Junaid Ansari (Varun Dhawan) from the Special Task Force to find Viraj and bring him back to safety before the impending final against Pakistan. The rest of the trailer comprises of beautiful shots of Dubai and thrilling action sequences as Kabir and Junaid attempt to find Viraj.

Returning to Bollywood after a hiatus of four years, Akshay Khanna essays the role of the antagonist inDishoom, reminiscent of his role inRace(2008). The movie also stars Jacqueline Fernandes and Om Puri, whose characters help Kabir and Junaid in their quest to rescue Viraj from captivity.

Special mention has to be given to the cinematographer of the movie, Ayananka Bose, famous for films such asDostana(2008) andKick(2013). The visuals inDishoomare absolutely stunning, and the varied use of different camera angles only serve to enhance the beauty of the locations. At the same time, Abraham and Dhawan have not shied away from shedding their clothes and regaling the viewers with the sight of their chiseled abs, which definitely adds to the glamor quotient of the movie.

The movie tries to play on the theme of good cop-bad cop, which is a rather novel theme in Bollywood, given how we haven't seen such a film in quite some time. One needs to take note of Dhawan's impeccable comic timing, which only seems to improve over time. Rohit Dhawan seems to have picked up on his father's writing and directing skills, as the comic scenes in the movie did elicit a laugh.

While the film doesn't seem to be anything extraordinary or out of the box, the intense action sequences reminiscent of Rohit Shetty movies and breath-taking visuals have definitely generated curiosity in the minds of the viewers. Whether or not this movie is able to impress the critics and audiences at the time of the release, however, is something only time can tell.

Nadiadwala Grandsons' Dishoom is all set to release on the 29th of July, and we at BollyCurry strongly encourage you to head over to YouTube and check out the trailer for yourself.

Honestly speaking I was quite disappointed with the trailer. First of all action and comedy NEVER work well together. The movie either ends up being a full action movie or a full comedy movie since these 2 genres are exact opposite of each other.

I thought it would have some classy action scenes like those in Rocky Handsome but to my disappointment, the action in the movie is the kind of action shown in Rohit Shetty's movies which is quite pathetic!

John Abraham is NOT good with comedy! Why don't people understand that? Give him serious roles like Rocky Handsome and he will nail them! Rocky Handsome was brilliant and I was expecting this to be as awesome and serious as that but too bad it doesnt look good.

Varun Dhawan's overacting is always there to make things worse just like he ruined Dilwale. Jacqueline Fernandez is in pretty much every movie and doesnt look impressive. The best part of the trailer is Akshay Khanna! Man I missed him so much. So glad to see him back! I hope his acting is appreciated in this movie!

Saqib Saleem is playing the batsman that gets kidnapped and he's a pathetic actor so there are very few chances of this movie becoming a hit!

I certainly don't understand how such a non-actress like jaqueline fernandes getting so many big films..she hasn't left any impression on the audiences in any of her movies. as far as glamour there are much better actresses to do that.

also the trailer is rubbish to say the least only god knows why an amazing talent varun dhawan is wasting himself in such films or is he trying to tell us that he doesn't get good movies...
only akshaye khanna is the best thing about the trailer.

ok and this shot seems to be the only getting the best attention
