Overall, Varun Dhawan excels in playing his character in the film with utmost conviction and confidence. acqueline Fernandez brings in the glamour quotient to the film and acts her part very well. The big return of the seasoned actor Akshaye Khanna, who announces his comeback in Bollywood with a bang with this film. His sense of timing and dialogue delivery adds more glitter to the character that he plays in the film. Akshay Kumar, despite being cast in a cameo, is hilarious in his part of a gay bad boy.

On the whole, the film has a predictable storyline.it has very impressive visuals.The film's editing (Nitin Rokade, Ritesh Soni) is exceptionally crisp as the film's runtime is around 2 hours.

Overall,Dishoom is typical masala entertainer and its a one time watch.
