This is the first time a [[Bollywood]] film has been mixed in [[Dolby Surround 7.1|Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Plot==&lt;br /&gt;
The film starts with a footballer, Lawrence &amp;quot;Lorry&amp;quot; Gomes, who gets admission into an American college. Due to insufficient funds, he is unable to fulfill his dream. On the other hand, his girlfriend Tani got a scholarship to the US. Though he is happy with his girlfriend&amp;#039;s achievement, he becomes depressed for not fulfilling his own dream. His friend Ricky tells him that he can get him into the college, but Lorry will have to smuggle drugs along with him. Lorry agrees and, at the airport, successfully passes the [[X-ray machine]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ACP Vishnu Kamath is a previously corrupt cop who had accepted a lot of bribes to satisfy his family. However, his family died in a car accident. Several years later, he is offered a job by the Chief Minister of Goa: to flush out all the drug dealers in Goa, which he accepts. His success leads to a panic among the drug suppliers. The drug dealers gather for a meeting led by Zoey Mendosa. Zoey guarantees them that their drugs will be in safe hands if they are given to a mysterious person named Michael Barbosa. Kamath decides to chase Michael Barbosa and finds out about Ricky.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Kamath reaches Ricky, he is already dead. Kamath finds out about his [[cocaine]]-[[smuggling]] and his girlfriend, Rozanna. They reach the airport on the same day Lorry is about to leave. Kamath encounters Rozanna and finds a photo of Lorry in her phone. She is allowed to go due to a lack of evidence. Kamath then identifies Lorry as the person he had seen in Rozanna&amp;#039;s phone. They detain him and find cocaine stuffed in his bag. Lorry is sent to juvenile jail, where his friend, DJ Joaquim &amp;quot;Joki&amp;quot; Fernandes, tries to get him out. It is then revealed that Zoey and Joki used to be in a relationship. Zoey wanted to be an air hostess, but failed. Joki introduced her to his boss, Lorsa Biscuita, a.k.a. the Biscuit, who had worldwide contacts. With the help of his contacts, Biscuit got her a job in the airlines, though she had to smuggle cocaine to international regions to repay him. She ended up getting caught and was sentenced to 14 years in jail. Biscuit&amp;#039;s contact got her free in 14 days, but to repay him, she had to sleep with Biscuit. She broke up with Joki and made her life drug-dealing with Biscuit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Joki meets Zoey, and the two end up sleeping together. Zoey gives him a video of Biscuit announcing that he is going to have a [[rave]] in neighboring Karnataka, out of Kamath&amp;#039;s jurisdiction and that Michael Barbosa will be bringing and exchanging drugs. Joki gives this tape to Kamath. When Biscuit comes to know about Zoey and Joki, he kills Zoey. After recruiting Lorry for help, Kamath attacks Biscuit&amp;#039;s party and arrests the drug dealers. When Kamath&amp;#039;s colleague Rane asks him about Barbosa, Kamath says that he knows the secret of Barbosa, and Rane kills Kamath. It is revealed that Rane was always involved with Biscuit. Joki later finds out about Kamath&amp;#039;s death and arrives at the crime scene, fitting together the pieces as Kamath has. Michael Barbosa is not a man, but a gravesite Biscuit uses for storing drugs. We see Joki carefully storing the bags of cocaine somewhere, then calling Rane to arrange a meeting. Lorry is now free of the charge, and he comes out of jail. When Joki and Rane are going to meet Biscuit, Joki kills Rane, saying that he knows Rane is the person who killed Kamath. Kamath&amp;#039;s body is being cremated in an electric furnace owned by Biscuit. We see that this is where Joki has put the drugs, and Biscuit arrives only too late. Having been brought down by the destruction of his stockpile, Biscuit is killed by a woman who may be Rozanna. Lorry comes to a beach party where Joki is singing, and Tani joins him in a joyful reunion. The film ends with Joki on his bike, riding off into the sunset, remembering Kamath and Zoey.&lt;br /&gt;

==Reception==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Critical===&lt;br /&gt;
The film opened to mixed positive reviews globally. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[The Times of India]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, which gave a three and a half rating, mentioned that &amp;quot;The film slags in places and needs tightening, but the lull is followed by a tangy twist in the tale, which makes up for the occasional yawn. Shridhar Raghavan writes a thrilling cops and robbers tale which has some quirky banter scripted by Purva Naresh. Add to this Goa captured in glowing colours by cinematographer Amit Roy and a peppy music score by Pritam, and director Rohan Sippy gives you a film that keeps the popcorn crackling, till the very end&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Dum-Maaro-Dum/moviereview/8046811.cms|title=Dum Maaro Dum-Gripping thriller|work=The Times of India|location=India|access-date=21 April 2011|first1=Nikhat|last1=Kazmi|date=21 April 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Filmfare]] gave a four star rating stating, &amp;quot;Dum Maaro Dum has a taut narrative that doesn&amp;#039;t flail till post interval. It keeps you engrossed through an imaginative blend of some stupendous background music, animated cinematography and simple effective storytelling. The characters are introduced with clarity and soon you get a very clear picture of what&amp;#039;s going with whom. As for the performances [[Abhishek Bachchan|Abhishek]] does an earnest and impressive job. [[Rana Daggubati]] sure has an impressive screen presence but we must wait to find out if that dead pan expression is restricted only to this film. Pratik looks dazed and you don&amp;#039;t want to take your eyes off him when he is on screen. Bipasha looks suitably traumatised&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.filmfare.com/articles/dum-maaro-dum-2311.html|title=REVIEWS|publisher=[[Filmfare]]|access-date=21 April 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Anupama Chopra]] of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[NDTV]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; gave a two and a half star rating saying, &amp;quot;Dum Maaro Dum has all the ingredients of crackling entertainment. This is one film that should soar, but sadly it never quite takes flight. The problem is the writing. has some punchy dialogue-baazi and snazzy action, especially a nicely done shoot-out at a night market. It also features Abhishek&amp;#039;s best performance in recent times. But the narrative slumps in places, the plot has loopholes and the characters just aren&amp;#039;t convincing enough to grab you.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_Review.aspx?id=613|title=Review: Dum Maaro Dum|publisher=NDTV|access-date=21 April 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110426022052/http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_Review.aspx?id=613|archive-date=26 April 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Taran Adarsh]] of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Bollywood Hungama]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; rated the film two and a half and noted, &amp;quot;Film is like fast food that&amp;#039;s high on calories, but falls short in the nutrition department. Yes, it&amp;#039;s slick, stylish and well-crafted, but the fact remains that it lacks the power [in its second hour specifically] to create a dum-daar impression. however, he praised the lead performances. [[Abhishek Bachchan|Abhishek]] is super in the role of a tough cop whose life undergoes a U-turn when personal tragedy strikes. Much of the joy comes from watching [[Rana Daggubati]] infuse believability into his character. He&amp;#039;s easy on the eyes and is a complete natural when it comes to acting. Bipasha shines in several moments of the film.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/14263/index.html|title=Movie Reviews|publisher=[[Bollywood Hungama]]|access-date=22 April 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Daily News &amp;amp; Analysis]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; gave a three star rating saying, &amp;quot;With the body of a modern thriller and the soul of a 1970s masala film, the idea behind the hybridization had potential, but &amp;#039;Dum Maaro Dum&amp;#039; falls slightly short &amp;quot;. Nevertheless, it still recommended the film.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/lifestyle/review_dum-maaro-dum-leaves-you-high-and-dry_1534714|title=&amp;#039;Dum Maaro Dum&amp;#039; leaves you high and dry|date=22 April 2011|website=Daily News and Analysis|access-date=9 October 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Hindustan Times]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; reviewer Mayank Shankar gave it a three star rating and noted &amp;quot;It just about makes for an enticing thriller here. There&amp;#039;s probably an even better film when compressed.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Mayank-Shekhar-s-review-Dum-Maaro-Dum/Article1-688472.aspx|title=Mayank Shekhar&amp;#039;s review: Dum Maaro Dum|work=Hindustan Times|location=India|access-date=22 April 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110425020348/http://www.hindustantimes.com/mayank-shekhar-s-review-dum-maaro-dum/article1-688472.aspx|archive-date=25 April 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[India Today]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; reviewer Kaveree Bamzai gave a three and a half rating said that the movie is &amp;quot;With some cutting edge background music and a haunting song by Papon which remains in your head, Dum Maaro Dum is a stylish thriller written as smartly as it is directed&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/story/film-review-dum-maaro-dum/1/135968.html|title=Film Review: Dum Maaro Dum|work=[[India Today]]|access-date=22 April 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Rajeev Masand]] of &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[CNN IBN]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; gave it a two star rating explaining, &amp;quot; It&amp;#039;s watchable, but it could easily have been so much more. The action sequences add style to the story, with more than one smartly-filmed chase scene. The dialogues too pack quite a punch, before it all starts to feel too much. In the end, it&amp;#039;s [[Abhishek Bachchan]] who throws you with his sheer presence. He plays Kamath with just the right amount of steely nerve and naked emotions. Unfortunately, it isn&amp;#039;t enough to lift this film from an average drugs-drama to a smart and entertaining action thriller. It&amp;#039;s got its moments, but they&amp;#039;re few and far between&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/masand-dum-maaro-dum-is-very-haphazard/149953-47-84.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110426004218/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/masand-dum-maaro-dum-is-very-haphazard/149953-47-84.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 April 2011|title=Masand: &amp;#039;Dum Maaro Dum&amp;#039; is very haphazard|publisher=[[CNN-IBN]]|access-date=22 April 2011}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gaurav Malani of Indiatimes gave it a positive review, saying, &amp;quot;In the bigger picture, the story of Dum Maaro Dum isn&amp;#039;t something one hasn&amp;#039;t witnessed before. A corrupt cop turns honest on losing his family. He is summoned to purify a polluted province. A white-collared kingpin operates at large in the region. An innocent chap is engulfed in the nexus. The cop has to liberate the innocent and convict the guilty. Doesn&amp;#039;t this sound like a standard scheme of an 80s potboiler? But what makes Rohan Sippy&amp;#039;s film entertaining is its smart storytelling, sincere setting and slick treatment.&amp;quot; He also praised Abhishek&amp;#039;s performance, saying that his childhood friend Rohan Sippy clearly knows how to best use the actor.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-04-22/news-interviews/29462683_1_goa-airport-rohan-sippy-lorry|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103144253/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-04-22/news-interviews/29462683_1_goa-airport-rohan-sippy-lorry|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 January 2013|title=Dum Maaro Dum: Movie Review|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=9 October 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tushar Joshi of mid-day entertainment gave it three stars out of five. He criticized the film for its length and was unimpressed by Bipasha&amp;#039;s performance, saying that she was lacklustre. But he added that for all its drawbacks, the film is nevertheless worth a watch because of its gripping storyline and stylish treatment of the same.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/2011/apr/230411-Abhishek-Bachchan-Rana-Daggubati-Bipasha-Basu-Prateik.htm|title=Dum Maaro Dum - Movie review|website=Mid-day.com|access-date=9 October 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deepauk Murugesan of New Indian express praised the film, commenting, &amp;quot;At its core, Rohan Sippy&amp;#039;s film is about two love stories coming together to salvage the future of a third. It is a uniquely male fantasy and grossly idealistic, but its excess is well cloaked in the blood-soaked grittiness that permeates the film.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://expressbuzz.com/entertainment/reviews/dum-maaro-dum/268320.html] {{dead link|date=December 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
