Just watched this movie. My only advice is- do not bother watching this, it is pathetic. It is just style and no substance. If you want to watch a Hindi movie, there are excellent ones out there, but not this. There should be some logic in the storyline to digest. Look at this, a stadium full of 20000 people are in danger and the only set of people who can rescue them are five Indians, one of them being a Canadian police officer. Why can't they at least involve Canadian Law Enforcement? Just doesn't make sense. Indian Police officers, who are in Canada, illegally investigating something and just killing people as and when they like and just getting away with it. Anti Terror Cell in India are full of 6 feet tall, fair, blue eyed male officers and the lady officers looks like they all just came out of some modeling school!! They wanted to imitate some Hollywood action movies, but I don't think they were successful in that. If you are a person who grew up watching sensible movies, whatever genre it may be, you are not going to like this one. But if you are a person who believes just in style and want some typical Hindi style entertainment with some good songs, go for it.

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.

Please do not expect anything from this film. It starts fairly well, but after a few hours it gets pretty dull. There are only so many times you can watch men in suits with sunglasses walking towards the camera in slow motion looking moody. This was more like a screen test than a film.

The plot is a bit random - it steals bits from the Usual Suspects, Speed, Lethal Weapon 3 etc.

I must just give a special mention to the "Football" match at the end. The scenes are shot in an American football ground in the daytime. But, the action keeps cutting to highlights of an England friendly soccer match played in the evening and then back to the Canadian fans cheering. Ouch! Very poor.

The worst bit was probably the end, where all the character jumped around fighting kung fu style to try and stop two bombs (which when they go off are quite deflating) and .... SOMEONE DIES!!!!

Very moving.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

1 out of 10.

This probably has to be the most over-hyped,over-sold, and over-marketed Hindi movie in history. It was pathetic! No plot, No gripping story line and a big mish-mash of cool scenes from various action movies. Notable were the stolen plot lines from the series 24! I mean - drive below 50 and a bomb goes off? how old is that plot?! and then you have a maniac Canadian cop (with a dud-Indian accent) who decides to run a car-chase with his wife beside him.

Second, the ATC boss decides to jump off 100 feet off the edge of a building and land on a ledge perfectly while killing 4 terrorists mid-air. I though such effects only happened in 70's action movies where there were no computers to help! We waited in painful agony for the item number 'deedar de' - and when it came it was a disappointment. It had rough editing and flare flashes that could trigger off an epileptic fit in anyone! Cuts were so short that it didn't do any justice to the dancing prowess of the latino item girl! Gulshan Grover as a bin laden look-alike - how sad is that? It seems like the director was probably given the script as he was shooting and decided to improvise as he went along. I mean, did anyone notice the red subaru imprezza with a huge "ford mustang" sticker on it? SAD SAD SAD! and what was with that bad-hair-day cut with abisheks girlfriend (or was she just a cop?) Zayed Khan was just plain annoying - probably the only person that deserved credit was the Indian joe pesci from lethal weapon(see - didn't i tell you!) Buy the Audio CD - good tracks. Don't go anywhere near a theatre playing this flick. Its awful.

.. few Priyadarshan movies are yet to be released in this year, but I bet you won't find any of them funnier than this creation of Anubhav Sinha. We were laughing like anything when we came out of hall after watching "Thriller" DUS.

so here is a plot. wait a minute... was there anything like plot? probably there was. Few brave men from ATC(Anti Terrorist Cell, cool isn't it?)decide to save a big jeopardy which they even don't know about except that it was going to happen on 10th May, but these are brave soldiers. Now IMDb tells me that Naa Tum Jaano Naa Hum and Ab Ke Baras were released on 10th May, but probably more dangerous disaster exist in world, so they are searching for it. After some furious action and some "relay bombing" (as Suniel Shetty can't directly throw grenade, he would pass on that to Zayed and eventually Zayed on flying bike would throw that into car and before grenade could explode lo! Zayed is standing beside Jr. AB and Shetty in order to give that high-profile action movie look). Well they have found some clues and caught a man who helps them in searching the villain Jamaal or Jambal or Jamval or something like that... and when finally so called Jamaal is killed Sanjay Dutt tells them that man who pointed them to Jamaal he himself was Jamaal. Shut up you all morons if you said that this is copied from 'Usual Suspects'. Our intelligent ATC chief Dutt Jr. finds out that disaster is going to happen at stadium. Now at the climax, they found out where bomb is and AB Jr. is on plane with disastrous C-4. Only way he could save Canada is that he jumps along with plane and his love Esha Deol, wait but somebody said she was traitor, but she has to die anyway. and then starts eternal dilemma. Whether Abhishek should die and save people or He should leave Canada to God. Everybody forces him to leave the plane, but he is "true soldier" and saves Canada. May his soul rest in peace.

I strongly recommend that everyone should see last 15 minutes of this movie (if you manage to survive till that point). No matter what will happen to that bomb, but Zayed tries to convince Abhishek that not only himself but both should take care of Dia Mirza. Sanjay Dutt is into tears and doesn't care to stop Jamaal who is not running away, but waiting for elevator to come. Sunil Shetty is shouting.. "Fenk Do Bam, Mar Jaane Do Logon Ko.. Kud Kaao Shashank..." Director will teach you geography which you've never learned. He'll enlighten you that AIIMS flyover is situated near some sea or something. I bet you didn't know that.

Well, there are few saving graces for movie. 'Dus Bahane' and 'Deedar De' are treat to hear. Pankaj Kapoor proves that he is definitely one of the front-line actors and AB Jr. proves himself again after Sarkar. and yes, how can I forget Shilpa Shetty and her stunts (a la Trinity) and one must not forget the guy, whosoever it is,who made the trailer and posters and made people believe that this is movie worth watching, so go and watch in theaters. arre bhaiyo, suno, agar movie dekho to upper/stall mein dekhana aur mazaa aayega...

Dus aka Ten 2005 is nothing but a cheesy film it came out in 2005 but when i saw it i was going crazy over it like i have seen the best film ever but if you look at this film now it is absolute crap i mean it.

this film is very cheesy it is loaded with unnecessary comedy & slow motion action scenes plus the story is copied from Hollywood or Korean & Chinese films .some of the scenes are frame to frame copied.

this whole film is more then 2 hours & i swear it looks like a never ending music video.

talk about this plot well its about a terrorist guy named Jamwal who is planing to blow up a Canadian sports stadium on 10th of May now to stop him is Indian Atc force some special unit of anti terrorism they have total of ten days to save the world.

from start to end its a hilarious movie all of the actors are showing style nothing much specially Zayed khan.

there is one hilarious scene comes when the opening song Dus Bahane comes up now when Abhiskek Bachan is dancing with hot chicks on the rap at some moment he flips his jacket & from there the scenes cuts to a airport runway or a empty road & Zayed khan is on a blue sports bike probably Yamaha he takes out his dual hand guns & points at nobody seriously with both arms in the air left right.the whole sequences looks so hilarious the full song Dus Bahane song can be seen on YouTube for free but when you see it you'll know you will get a action wannabe film instead of a serious one.

and who can forget the 4 different limousines for our main heroes to make an entry in style.

the characters are stupid the action is hilarious & the cast is wasted i mean what was Gulshan Groover doing here still he gets blown up by a grenade in his car by our heroes.

in the last Abhiskek Bachan kills himself in order to save the city he drops his plane in a swimming pool nearby as the sea was far .oh yeah with C4 bombs.

if you think Mission Impossible 2 of John Woo was over the top the you are wrong .try watching Dus 2005 it is no doubt one of the funniest films ever made.

to put it simply this film is just one big face palm if someone who likes Rajnikanth film please add this to your list.

the makers wasted all of the budget in tourism the film looks great i mean cinematic gives you a tour of Canada.nothing more.

i cant believe Sanjay Dutt wasted himself in this mess he is a legend.

this is a Indian films made by Indians set in a foreign country they aimed this film towards other western markets only to cater to the western audiences but truth is they were not impressed at all.

this film could have been better if it was handled seriously it had potential.

Dus 2005 is a waste or time and money plus it will kill brain cells watch it at your own risk.my rating is 3/10.

This movie is an epitome of the disturbing trend in Indian movies. Everyone just seems to focus on the packaging and not on the content. Heavily inspired by the TV-series 24 (I am guessing the influences) with a dash of usual suspects and lots of unnecessary melodrama, this is one of the most frustrating movies I have seen in some time.

Putting in the time to see this movie leaves a bad taste in the mouth , much like the one after you have been hit on by the dirty oily sleaze bag when all you want to do is get a drink. The plot is an insult to your intelligence. I would not have minded it if they had marketed it that way. I was promised an intelligent movie (by Indian standards). This movie is fun though for some of the most ridiculous dialog and product placement. I know that ford might have shelled out some money for their mustang car but having "FORD MUSTANG" lettered on to a ford mustang is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. The emotional drama is superfluous and not very effective. It looks like the characters are crying for the lack of anything better to do. There is more to being a professional than looking slick and tattooed backs. Please make your plot more believable or be truthful in your promos. Finally I can say only one thing:-- Please read your script to a group of 10 year olds. If they can rip it to pieces, maybe you are better off not making the movie.

1 Star. Dus (Ten). Annihilated by Anubhav Sinha. With Sunjay Dutt, Shilpa Shetty, Abhishek Bachchan, Suneil Shetty, Zayed Khan and Esha Deol in their worst performances ever. Mehboob Bawa reviews.

According to the Internet site rediff.com, actor Sanjay Dutt agreed to star in this film after being narrated the story by director Anubhav Sinha in three minutes flat. That just about sums it up – Dus doesn't have much of a storyline and what there is of it is a convoluted mess.

Full blame goes to Sinha, whose first action film this is. He's better known for his mediocre love stories Tum Bin (Without You) and Aapko Pehle Bhi Kahin Dekha Hain (I Have Seen You Somewhere Before). In fact one would be forgiven for thinking that the film would have been better off without him as the storyline is completely derivative of countless Hollywood action blockbusters. He has used a flashy editing technique and snazzy camera-work to give his film an MTV look. But it cannot hide the fact that it's all shiny on top, but completely hollow inside.

Dus was originally started by producer Nitin Manmohan and prolific director, the late Mukul S. Anand in the mid - 1990's. Anand passed away tragically, soon after production began and the film was subsequently shelved. This version of Dus merely shares the title, producer and two of the original's stars, Sanjay Dutt and Shilpa Shetty.

Anand was a major force within the Indian film industry. His credits include Agneepath, Khuda Gawah and Hum. All three starred the legend Amitabh Bachchan and were memorable films. Sinha cannot hold a candle to Anand's accomplishments and based on his miserable attempt in directing Dus, it doesn't look like he'll be entering the major leagues anytime soon.

The film revolves around the activities of an elite crime fighting squad, the Anti Terrorist Cell. They receive news that a major strike is going to take place in Canada within ten days and attempt to stop a catastrophe in which 25000 people could die. They know the name of the terrorist that is planning the strike, but nothing more. That's the only info they have received from one of their agents in the field. So far so good, an interesting plot, but one would expect that a detailed screenplay would be written based on it. No such luck, that's all we get. There are numerous scenes that require us to suspend belief and are often totally incomprehensible. Bollywood is known for the fantasy element in its films, but this is taking it out of the realms of acceptability.

The film has many scenes that will have you rolling in the aisles at the absurdity of it all. The strike is taking place on foreign soil, but none of the Indian task force members think of informing the Canadian authorities about the imminent danger. The bomb is set to explode at a soccer match that the Indian Prime Minister is to attend, but there is no sign of the dignitary and this is never explained. The senior agent apprehends the mastermind, but is distracted by his fellow agents who are trying to defuse the bombs. Does the mastermind capitalise on this? No way, he just waits to be shot. Duh!

Oh, everyone in this film looks really cool. You'd think this was a fashion show, the way they walk around in slow motion flaunting themselves, while killing the bad guys. It's all a bit ridiculous. Now if they were sending up the genre, they could've been onto something, but these guys are taking themselves far too seriously.

I could go on and on, but what the heck, this film doesn't warrant that much attention. It certainly doesn't deserve yours.

This had far too many unrealistic action scenes and I had a hard time believing that Sunil Shetty was a Canadian cop.

Zayed was annoying....c'mon!...his character was so irritating. And Abhishek was pathetic while Sanjay Dutt seems to play his character with a natural elegance...a character who looks thuggish and dull.

The only upside to this film was the song Dus Bahane which is at the beginning... and Deedar De was a good song but the editing ruined it.

The end scene with the plane was just boring. I found it hard to believe that Indian cops would have that kind of power in a country such as Canada...

Truly far-fetched.
