Awesome Movie...Must Watch!

Finally a movie which will make BOLLYWOOD stand-out!Amazing performance,rocking music(Kudos to Director Vishal-Shekhar),Stunning Action sequences and a nice storyline....A perfect recipe for an out-and-out Smash-hit. The story is about the Anti-terrorist Cell from India who receives the info that an International Terrorist "Jhaamvaal" is planning a big attack on 10th May(hence "Dus").Sanjay Dutt(Siddhant Dheer) is the chief of the department of the ATC.Abhishek Bachchan(Shashank Dheer)is his lil bro and an expert sniper.Shipa SHetty(Aditi Kumar),ZAYED KHAN(Aditya Singh) and other form the Elite team.Suniel SHetty( Danesh "DAN") is a Canadian cop which helps out Abhishek and Zayed when they go to canada to track down the terrorist.Pankaj Kapur(Mehendi Singh) plays a naives and loyal henchman to JHAAMVAAL.He is then kidnapped by Abhishek and Zayed along with special agent Esha Deol(Neha) and then begins a superb twisting and turning story.But the best part is near the end when the story takes such a drastic turn and an absolutely brilliant secret unfolds which will definitely make the viewers gasp!! Zayed Khans performance is the most notable as he plays a lovable,cool and suave officer.Hes the glue that holds the film together.Abhishek has improved a lot and comic scenes between him and Sanjay Dutt are hilarious.Diya Mirza(Zayed Love interest) and Raima Sen(Suniel's ex-wife) are quite forgettable.Esha Deol is absolutely disappointing and looks woe-be-gone.Shilpa Shetty definitely makes you drool with her looks and hair!She gives a gritty performance as an officer and a silent lover to Sanjay Dutt.Pankaj Kapur is worth million laffs as he provides lite moments in the film.And finally a big Thumbs-up to Director Anubhav Sinha for this stupendous movie!
