"India ko bura kahaan toh dishoom can be back": Varun Dhawan on 10 years of 'Dishoom'
Mumbai, July 31
Actor Varun Dhawan is celebrating 10 years of 2016 action-comedy 'Dishoom', reflecting on his fond memories of working in the film.
Varun shared a string of BTS pictures from the film's sets as well as the promotions, showing rare moments with the team. From discussing scenes with his brother, director Rohit Dhawan, to bonding with co-stars John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandez, Varun took a trip down memory lane.
"Toh DISHOOM. Had the best time making a film with my brothers rohit @thejohnabraham @jacquelienefernandez. We shot a large portion of it in UAE. How time flies but anytime india ko bura kahaan toh dishoom can be back. 10 years," he wrote.
Released in 2016, the Rohit Dhawan directorial featured Varun Dhawan and John Abraham in the lead as police officers Junaid Ansari and Kabir Shergill, respectively. The story follows the disappearance of India's top batsman in the Middle East, leaving the two mismatched officers to team up for a 36-hour manhunt for him.
On the work front for Varun Dhawan, he was last seen in 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai', which also featured Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hedge.
The romantic comedy, directed by David Dhawan, the cast also features Chunky Panday, Jimmy Shergill, Rakesh Bedi and Maniesh Paul in important roles. Actress Mouni Roy makes a special appearance in the film.
Backed by producer Ramesh Taurani, 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' released in theatres on June 5 and marks another collaboration between Varun Dhawan and director David Dhawan.

Varun Dhawan is such a genuine soul! The way he remembers his brother and team after 10 years shows real family values. But I wish they had focused more on the plot than just the star power. Still, a guilty pleasure movie for me. ❤️
As someone who loves Bollywood from the US, *Dishoom* was my introduction to Varun Dhawan. That cricket premise was so uniquely Indian! 10 years later, it still holds up. Varun's brother-director combo is really special.
I remember watching *Dishoom* in the theatre with my cousins—what a blast! Varun's energy was infectious. But honestly, the movie could have been tighter; some scenes felt dragged. Still, nostalgia hits hard when I see those BTS pics. 😊
Varun's message about India is powerful—"India ko bura kahaan toh dishoom can be back" really hits home. That brotherhood between Rohit and Varun is something we all cherish. *Dishoom* wasn't perfect, but it was pure entertainment. 🇮🇳
I respect Varun for staying humble even after all these years. That said, *Dishoom* had some problematic stereotypes about Middle Eastern characters. But for what it was—a mindless comedy—it worked. Hope Varun makes more such films in the future!
