Dishkiyaaoon movie review
by

Debutant director Sanamjit Talwar's 'Dishkiyaoon' is a lethargic attempt at a story centering around the murky affairs of Mumbai's outlaws. The sluggish narrative over the first hour shifts between the past and present as we learn of how Viki abandons his Gandhian father to adopt the life of a criminal.

Harmen Baweja, despite appearing earnest in his effort, lands at the bottom of the Bollywood gangster ranks. It is his lack of talent or versatility and uncanny resemblance to Hrithik Roshan that could be (partly) blamed for his debacle. The lack of a coherent plot and an unimpressive cast only adds to his downfall.

Sunny Deol appears aged and genuinely uninterested while Prashant is armed with nothing more than a leather jacket and a sly grin to make an impression. Both may boast of some good work in the past but their take on Lakwa and Mota Tony appear to be their worst yet.

All in all. Dhiskiyaoon is an earnest attemt on Harman's part ot make a comeback but the entire film is highly average. We give it two and a half stars out of five.
