Dishkiyaoon is a Bollywood crime action film written and directed by debutant Sanamjit Singh Talwar, and produced by Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra along with Eros International. The film features Harman Baweja, debutant Ayesha Khanna, Aditya Pancholi, Sunny Deol and Prashant Narayanan in the lead roles. The storyline is based upon the Mumbai underworld.[1] Originally set to be released on 10 January 2014, the film experienced delays and was eventually released on 28 March 2014.[2]
Dishkiyaoon received mixed reviews from critics in India but was lauded by overseas critics for its stylish and gripping narrative. Despite this, the film flopped at the box office. The film has also been released officially online.[3]
Plot
Viki (Harman Baweja), a gangster, narrates the story of his life to Lakwa (Sunny Deol), a criminal, whilst being locked up somewhere. Born in the upper middle class society, Viki had no mother and his father had no time for him. The cold loneliness of Viki’s world left him weak and tainted from within. Absence of love and care pushed Viki to find acceptance in other places. One such place was just a road away from his plush apartment - THE GANGSTER‐LAND.
Viki finds love and acceptance where bullets don't warn before firing. Interpersonal relationships are complex, situations are twisted. Ambitions break free, as Viki sets his eyes on the top spot in THE GANGSTER-LAND. He backs himself to de‐throne the existing king. Where people use might, Viki uses his mind. A game of dice begins. Each throw unfolds deception, double‐cross, uncertainty, mystery and shock. It all comes down to one final throw of dice and Viki must roll a six to win.
Given a choice between ambition and revenge, only a deadly mind would pick both. Viki picks both. Big dreams, big cost. Actions have consequences. A gunshot doesn’t discriminate, it makes the same sound for every ear - DISHKIYAOON.
