Just before an India-Pakistan cricket face-off in the Middle East, top Indian batsman Viraj ( Saqib) is kidnapped. India’s external affairs minister, sporting a big bindi, receives a video with a Pakistani kidnapper threatening to kill Viraj. Muttering ’Is news se dange ho sakte hain’, Ms. MEA sends in India’s secret weapon - surly, chain-smoking top-cop Kabir ( John) , assisted by Junaid ( Varun) . Kabir and Junaid find Ishika ( Jacqueline) , a hot chor, and several suspicious characters including cricket aficionado Wagah ( Akshaye) and rock-faced Rahul Dev, playing Altaffrom ’Abudhin’, a nation of tigers and terrorists.But can they find Viraj? Dishoom is made electric by Junaid and Kabir’s chemistry. Varun plays a funny, sunny guy with typically breezy perfection but John is surprisingly good, delivering dour, sour one-linerswith deadpan panache. The one-liners are stars inthemselves - whether it’s Junaid scolding Kabir, Gana pasand nahin tha, toh bol dete - music system todne ki kya zaroorat thi? or a brilliant little to-and-fro about iPads and Lagaan, the dialogues keep you giggling, even in tense moments.
