| User Reviewamrit s'Anthony. Anthony Gonsalves.' DISHOOM! That's one bit of this film that really sticks in my mind. A larger-than-life, rather unbelievable comedy which becomes excellent thanks to the spirited cast. Big B? Vinod Khanna? Shabana Azmi? And who could forget that knock-out stunner, Parveen Babi? It is my firm belief that no-one will ever again have as much fun as this lot seemed to be having during this film! |
