Dhishkyaoon Movie Review: A disappointment as it skimps out on the story and the comedy

The 'A' rating of Dhishkyaoon, makes one think of it as a routine sex comedy that hinges on innuendo and double entendre. The film, while fairly tame on the exposure and double entendre, also puts far too much of a stake on puns.

Sanya (Prathamesh Parab) is on a quest to source a gun so as to be taken seriously by society. He recruits Chunky (Deshmukh) to procure a revolver for him. This leads to his friend tattelling to his father, who mistakes his use of the word ‘ghoda’ for Sanya being attracted to men. This singular pun is pulled to its logical extreme and results in a fair bit of mayhem resulting in the police being involved.

The film is good with its acting and technical execution. The problem is the paper thin plot that gets unbelievably stretched with puns to fill in gags.The story is entirely neglected and the film peaks only at the tail end of the second half.

Sandeep Pathak delivers a solid comedic performance as the animated inspector and Suresh Vishwakarma is at his natural best. Prathamesh Parab embodies the character of Sanya with ease.

Dhishkyaoon is a disappointment as it skimps out on the story, the comedy and, to a large extent, even the sleaze that its target audience was promised in its trailer.
