'Dishkiyaoon' has a super first-hour, but a dull second. It's an uneven, erratically paced film, that turns to be A Standard Gangster Crime-Drama.
Dishkiyaoon' Synopsis: An urban city boy dreams to be a gangster. In order to be one, his journey turns out to be a nightmarish adventure.
'Dishkiyaoon' had tremendous potential to be an absorbing watch, but a shaky Screenplay plays a spoilsport. To give the film it's due, the film begins on a strong note & the momentum is aptly handled in the first-hour. Its the second-hour that brings in the problems. The drama looks uneven & the pace is erratic. Also, the culmination is under-whelming.
Sanamjit Singh Talwar's Screenplay has some potential, but all of it disappears in the second-hour. His Direction, however, is well-done. Cinematography is excellent. Editing is uneven. Action-Sequences are average.
Performance-Wise: Harman Baweja delivers an earnest performance. He tries his best to justify the part. Sunny Deol is alright. Prashant Narayanan is the real show-stopper. He's outstanding. Aditya Panscholi is wasted. Anand Tiwari hams.
On the whole, 'Dishkiyaoon' is an okay fare.
