Dum Maaro Dum makes a crime thriller as disinteresting as it could be. The lines are limp and the situations are far from creative. The plot is strung together with a series of events that have no flow.

Apparently, a suspense thriller based on the sensual threesome between drug, sex, and violence in Goa, the real suspense in ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ (DMD) is to find out how Rohan Sippy could manage to churn out a third-rate commodity like DMD.

A Dumb movie that prefers to go for style & gloss over substance.Screenplay & dialogues by Sriram are disappointing.The actors do their very best of what's asked of them: Look stylish. The supposedly crime thriller is filled with crater-like plot holes that tests your patience.By the time the big mystery was revealed, there was a huge exodus out the halls.

The picturization of Goa is the only positive of this movie. The action comics style entrance of Abhishek as the Inspector Kamat is a visual treat. Music by Pritam is melodious & groovy,something that should soothe your ears in bouts between the painfully cheesy dialogues & over the top noisy action sequences

Its a DVD watch at best, if u want to torture yourself
