Making film on realistic issues is very critical as the filmmaker has to be careful, unbiased but most important not deviate from main story and focus on dances. DMD had all the right ingredients but yet one expects more from the film afterall perhaps the hype about Drug Trafficking?
The problem with the film is though it tries to showcase the drug trafficking mafia in Goa, it's all done in such a carricatured manner that one fails to take it seriously. Even for a film if we are ready to suspend our disbelief The film is divided into episodes, first we have Prateik's story and how he gets involved into drugs, then followed by Rana's story and then Abhishek's Things are fine initially but Rohan Sippy is tempted to add Bollywood masala, so we have Abhishek suddenly break into a rubbish rap song Thai Thai while catching people There is half baked romance and plenty of loopholes The character of Biscuit comes across as carricatured again and things could be more realistic The reason Rana tries to save Prateik doesn't come across, Also all of a sudden the pre-climax has the main hero killed and then suddenly the villain killed by a not important character that also ruins things.
Direction by Rohan Sippy(after Bluffmaster) is good in parts but one expected much more Music by Pritam was okay but the recreation of DMD lacks the touch of the previous
Abhishek Bachchan though looking a bit on the heavy side does well in his role, though he does remind of his father yet again in a cop role but he adds nice quirks and some old Bachchan tributes,but nothing out of the world Rana Daggubati with a dubbed voice is decent for his debut Prateik who was considered one of the finest new talents to hit bollywood doesn't come across as convincing and his winy accent ruins things all the more Bipasha Basu is given a half baked role and she is okay Aditya Panscholi does well in his carricatured role Govind Namdeo is superb, Gulshan Deviah recently seen in SHAITAN gets a brief role and is good Vidya Balan's part was not required, the actor playing Mercy is typical sidekick rest are okay
Being a Goan myself I found many things not convincing and unreal as usual in Hindi films, Plus the language of Konkani is far from perfect
