Set against the backdrop of Goa, the story deals with crime, rape, smuggling and drugs. The story is theat of a tough police officer pitted against politicians and businessmen who want and encourage Goa to be the crime capital of India.
ACP Vishnu Kamath, played by Abhishek Bachhan, has been given responsibility to destroy this evil cycle and restore peace in Goa. With slight hesitation, Junior B aka ACP Kamath takes charge and prepares a team with Rane and Mercy and plays the ‘game’ by his own rules. They are all out to fight the drug dealers and especially Lorsa Biscuita, the main culprit, played by Aditya Pancholi.
The story revolves around Kamath’s team, innocent Lorry (played by Prateik Babbar) who falls in a trap, Lorry’s friend Joki (Rana Daggubati) who tries hard to prove Lorry’s innocence, and Joki’s girlfriend Joe (Bipasha Basu), an unwitting drug carrier.
Inspired immensely by Hollywood thrillers, Rohan Sippy’s ‘Dum Maro Dum’ keep its audience on the edges of their seats till the end as they enjoy the suspense. The well written dialogues and catch lines make it possible to connect with the audience.
Abhishek Bachhan’s performance is good but could have been better had he been shouting less and displayed a sene of timing. Rana Daggubati does justice to his character and the others are passable in their roles. Govind Namdeo proves his talent once again.
The music of ‘Dum maro Dum’ is catchy; the background scores by Pritam are particulalry pleasing to the ears. However the choreography is not quite up to the mark and the dance for the title song is anything but good. The action sequences are marvellous and the audience get their money’s worth.
Rohan Sippy’s suspense thriller Dum Maro Dum is a good “time pass” movie.
