Rohit Dhawan's second directorial film Dishoom is being touted as an action-adventure film. Featuring John Abraham, Varun Dhawan and Jacqueline Fernandez in the lead, the film narrates the story of two cops who are on a mission to rescue Indian cricket team's star player who has been kidnapped.
Rohit Dhawan's debut film Desi Boyz received mix response at the box office. Dhawan collaborates second time round with John Abraham in Dishoom. The film also marks the comeback of Akshaye Khanna who has been on a sabbatical for some time. Khanna reportedly plays an antagonist in the film.
Dishoom also boasts of interesting cameos. From Akshay Kumar to Nargis Fakhri to Saqib Saleem, Dhawan manages to rope in some well known faces in the film. Will Dishoom be able to make the cut? Will it be a blockbuster film? Shomini Sen of News18.com is inside the theatre to find out.
