Dus a fantastic film with unforgettable twists and turns that keep you glued to your seat. Anubhav Sinha has done a remarkable job directing this film. The story is interesting and thrilling at the same time.

Siddanth Dheer(Sanjay Dutt) runs an Anti-Terrorist-Cell in India. He has many people working for him, however, he has his favourites, who are also his most loyal and trustworthy employees. The first one is his little brother Shashank Dheer(Abhishek Bachchan)who is a calm,cool worker with no hassles. The second one is Aditya Singh,(Zayed Khan)a suave,lovable officer with a weakness for women, especially Shashank and Siddhanth's younger sister Anu (Diya Mirza). Finally there is Aditi Kumar(Shilpa Shetty) a hard-core gal that has no problem kicking terrorist butt! Siddhanth also has a soft spot for Aditi and they share a sweet, silent relationship. The film starts with Siddhanth receiving information that an international terrorist named Jambwal is on the loose and is planning a huge bomb blast on 10th May.(hence the name 'Dus') Siddhanth sends Aditya and Shashank to Canada to capture Himmat Mehendi,(Pankaj Kapur)an ex-follower of Jambwal who will know the mysterious secret that that the ATC team want to know. Himmat is kidnapped by Shashank and Aditya along with secret agent Neha(Esha Deol). The team also meet Dan,(Suniel Shetty)a Canadian cop with a gripping past. Just when the story is falling into place, Anubhav Sinha shoves in a twist that shakes it all. As the audience are making sense of the first twist, another twist is put in, changing everything.

Sanjay Dutt does a fantastic job as the suspicious, yet caring chief. However, he is showing some elderly signs. Abhishek Bachchan has improved a lot, his comic scenes with Sanjay are hilarious! Shilpa Shetty makes you drool with her looks, hair and awesome toned body. Suniel Shetty makes a gritty performance. Esha Deol is disappointing. She fails to make an impact on the audience. Zayed Khan is the most notable and portrays his character completely. Diya Mirza and Raima Sen(Suniel's ex-wife)make short appearances and are forgotten. Pankaj Kapur does a marvellous job.

On the whole, 'Dus' is a film that provides action, drama, romance and comedy all in one.
