The first half has a few interesting moments and part credit should be reserved for Uday Chopra. In fact, all you remember at the end of the show are some expertly executed chases, not the drama. That explains why the bike chase, at several points in the story, is far more interesting than the story itself. The problem with DHOOM is that it relies too heavily on thrills to take it forward. However, DHOOM not only takes its inspiration from several Bollywood flicks, but also seems slightly similar to a few Hollywood thrillers, namely THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS and BIKER BOYZ.
To start with, the viewer has witnessed such chor-sipahi, cat-n-mouse games time and again. From the mean streets of Mumbai, the focus shifts to the beaches of Goa. The two don?t get along, but they decide to team up and take the robbers to task. Ali is very different from Jai while Jai is serious, Ali is flippant, casual. Initially daunted by the speed and mannerisms of the gang, Jai ropes in the services of Ali, a happy-go-lucky garage mechanic and a prodigious bike rider. So brilliant is their metamorphosis that no one suspects them of being the same wicked robbers who don their helmets and commit these daring robberies. Kabir and his gang transform into pizza delivery boys soon after their unholy missions are accomplished. He is soon on the trail of the robbers ? a gang headed by Kabir. Jai, an honest police officer, is entrusted the responsibility of nabbing the culprits. The robbers commute on their hi-tech bikes ? the slickest, meanest and fastest riding machines on the road. In short, DHOOM ranks amongst Yashraj?s weakest films.Ī gang of four robbers is up to robbing banks, giving nightmares to the police department. DHOOM has thrills in abundance, but the outcome is least exciting. You saunter into the cinema hall expecting the banner to change lanes, but this bike ride is as nightmarish as driving a BMW on a road full of potholes.ĭHOOM has style, but no substance.
Yes, DHOOM, directed by Sanjay Gadhvi, contradicts all expectations. But after having watched DHOOM, you wonder whether you?ve entered the wrong cinema hall or perhaps, the makers weren?t able to control this adventure after a point! It goes without saying that the expectations from every Yashraj product are gargantuan. The banner is a brand to reckon with today.
