Apart from John and Varun who play the policemen, the film also stars Akshaye Khanna in a negative role.

The film’s business could have been even better if rains wouldn’t have affect the daily lives across India, according to trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

“Dishoom business was affected due to heavy rains in various parts of the country (torrential rains in Mumbai). Else, it’s business would’ve been higher,” Adarsh posted on Twitter on Monday.
