7 Dogs Review: A Fun-Cool Action Entertainer, But Salman Khan & Sanjay Dutt Fans Will Be Disappointed

7 Dogs, an Arabic action-thriller, hit Indian theaters in June after its May release in Arab countries. Dubbed in English and Hindi, the film primarily caters to Indian audiences through the cameo appearances of Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt. The movie follows Interpol officer Khalid, played by Ahmed Ezz, on his mission to stop the "7 Dogs" criminal organization from smuggling a drug known as "Pink Lady" into the Middle East.

Ezz is supported by Karim Abdel Aziz as ex-member Ghali, with Monica Bellucci adding her star power to the cast.

The film, written by Turki Al-Sheikh and Mohamed El-Dabbah, is directed by Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah. Known for its action sequences, 7 Dogs opens with a thrilling stunt that raises expectations, only to be followed by multiple additional action-packed scenes later in the movie. Director Adil El Arbi and cinematographer Robrecht Heyvaert deliver commendable visuals, with Heyvaert's camera work particularly praised.

While Ezz shines as the lead and Abdel Aziz offers a strong performance, the Bollywood stars' cameos are disappointing. Both Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt appear for just 5-7 minutes, lacking substantial action scenes that viewers anticipate in an action film. Their one cameo scenario, featuring Salman riding a rickshaw, does not meet the action expectations set by the film's tone. Overall, 7 Dogs is an entertaining action movie, but fans of Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt may leave the theater feeling underwhelmed.
