A lot of style but no substance

Dus had a lot of things going for it, good action, big star cast, chart topping music, and great production values. But it had no story and a very bad screenplay that led to its downfall. This is sad because it had a lot of potential to be great. The title song, Dus Bahane, is the best part of the movie, fast paced song by Vishal-Shekar, pictured well on Abhishek and Zayed is arguably one of the best Hindi film songs in history. The plot is too ridiculous, basically the India anti-terrorist group must stop a plot in Canada. Of the actors only four actors are worth watching; Abhishek Bachchan, Shilpa Shetty, Sanjay Dutt and Pankaj Kapur in that order. I don't even think this film is a decent time pass film.
