Dishkiyaoon is a Bollywood crime action film directed by debutant Sanamjit Singh Talwar, and produced by Shilpa Shetty and her husband Raj Kundra along with Eros International. The film features Sunny Deol, Harman Baweja, debutant Ayesha Khanna, Aditya Pancholi and Prashant Narayanan in 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 generally negative reviews from critics in India and failed at the box office. The film has also been released officially online.[3]

Plot

Born in the upper middle class society, Viki (Harman Baweja) 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.

Production

The film was shot in Mumbai and Europe. The first look of the film was released on 14 October 2013.
