The movie opened to a good response both from the critics and the audiences. Some are saying it could have been slightly better if the climax was shortened but they still say it is worth a watch. Bipasha and Rana's performances have come under flak. But Abhishek can finally heave a sigh of relief. His performance is being highly praised and the film is most certainly a hit. :)

NDTV - "Dum Maaro Dum has all the ingredients of crackling entertainment"

Reuters - "This one is worth a watch for the great cinematography and some good writing"

DNA - "Dum Maaro Dum manages to be entertaining in parts and is worth a watch simply because it’s a refreshing offering among the mediocre comedies like Thank You, FALTU and 3 Thay Bhai."

Times Of India - "Overall, Dum Maaro Dum has enough dum (strength) to qualify as a decent entertainer!"

Sify - "Dum Maaro Dum is worth a watch for the peek into the seamier side of Goa; but expecting anything other than Bollywood style thrills and chases will leave you disappointed."

Washington Post - "Dum Maaro Dum" takes you on a dramatic, thrilling trip, filled with twists, turns, suspense... and a shocking finale!"

Filmfare - "As far as gritty thrillers go DMD scores high. Give it a shot. There’s enough dum here to give you a movie high."

Indian Express - "It's all right for a quick one-shot."

India Today - "With some cutting edge background music and a haunting song by Papon which remains in your head, Dum Maaro Dum is a stylish thriller written as smartly as it is directed."

The Wall Street Journal - "For most of its running time, Dum Maaro Dum will keep you engaged."

I really liked DMD! Abhishek was so good, I was impressed by all the performances, the brilliant cinematography, and the gripping suspense. The downsides for me was that Bips didn't have much to do, and the music could have been better.

Taran Adarsh (IndiaFM) and others are putting wrong numbers to show the movie in poor light. Looks like he didn't get the payment from the producers of DMD.

@RohanSippy put the real numbers on his Twitter page. Going by the collections, it should be collecting its budget in 3 days. Sure shot hit!

Critics reviews are mixed- average to good, public reviews are mostly positive. Everyone is in praise for Abhishek's acting. But sadly this hasn't turned into cash at box office. Opening was dull -30-40% first day, collections were around 5 crore day 1. Which is very sad for Abhi's career. Inspite of everything being good, he can't get a decent hit

Dum Maaro Dum is already a FLOP as it had a very Dull opening at the BO on friday according to indiafm and other BO sites. The reviews are mixed.

Another ridiculous title. Another stupid movie. Another attempt at trying to be "different" failed.

Anon below, TOI gave 3.5/5, Filmfare - 4/5, DNA - 3/5, India Today - 3.5/5. Are all these mixed reviews? Yes, there have been some 2.5 reviews as well. 2/5 is considered average. Hence 2.5/5 will be above average, whereas 3/5 is good. Above average is definitely positive. Plus no review absolutely trashed the review calling it terrible. Each one at least said "It is worth at least one watch." So open your eyes!!

Well thats nice for Abhi and Bips,happy for them
I saw the video of the ppl from the theater coming out,it got mixed reviews from them soo far,but Abhi got a thumbs up on his acting,Finally,he has talented he just needs a good director to take it out,good for him
Bips unfortunately I guess was forgotten,they just kept talking about Abhi,but Im happy for him :)
But Bips looked so pretty in the promos
This doesn't seem like my type of movie,so Im not gonna watch it,maybe if it comes on TV

i liked the movie a lot, a good movie of abhi after bunty aur babli. i first thought all it had going was deepika's dmd like kat's shiela, but the movie was pretty entertaining.

-Ndtv slated the movie, said it wasn't up to the mark

NDTV slates all movies. Rarely they will give good rating to any movie. Even if the movie was superhit, I have rarely seen NDTV (Anupma Chopra) giving a 4 rating to any movie in the past

All of my friends who have seen it have loved it !!!!!!!! They said AB is too good in the movie. So I guess he's back with a Bang:)))).
I heard its a total masala flick.....the opening is decent but will pick up soon through positive word of mouth.
