Dhoom! - Die Jagd beginnt

I had little respect for Sanjay Gadhvi after his futile attempt of making Bollywood version of highly adorable My Best Friends Wedding. But with Dhoom - he back on track. Its interesting to see Yashraj into Action-Thrillers who generally stick to love themes, proving they are developing into professional production houses.

A good storyline filled with witty one-liners, good comic scenes, great songs, plenty of flesh and of course great action sequences - a perfect recipe for a masala Bollywood action. The pace of the movie is so good that you don't want to leave your seat.

Abshishek's performance is good - within the boundaries of his can's and cannot's. Uday Chopra overacts. John Abraham fits the role to the "T". Heroines have small roles but oozing with sex-appeal (the action theme demands it - remember?). Abhishek-Uday combo is similar to 48 Hours and evokes good mirth.

An entertaining fare from start to finish. Go watch it!!!

A very enjoyable movie with thrills and fun. I'm not a huge fan of the cast other than John but strangely even he was at times expressionless in this movie. On the other hand, Uday (who's also not my fav actor) was the best of all. The plot was interesting and I liked it that the main character was always a step ahead of the second main character. Looking forward to watching part 2.

High speed chases, extraordinary camera-work, wizardry technical effects, and sensuous bombshells - the thrilling "sub-genre" of adrenaline rush has to come to Bollywood with a bang! Hosting a cast of not-so impressive stars, the high-speed motorbikes sweep you off your seat. This is true Hollywood-style thrill. Mishcievious zoom-ins of scantily clad heroines add to the testosterone flavor of this film. A fantastic musical score with fast-paced beats spice things up even more. For the first time, Uday Chopra isn't annoying. Maybe now, he'll actually be able to get a role in a film not under his family's banner. Abhishek is good except for a couple of scenes where he tries to act like his dad. Note to Abhishek: never attempt comedy. John Abraham, in his short role, is definitely the best of the cast. Esha Deol has a cool role. This is one of Bollywood's best action productions!

"Dhoom" comes from a time where new wave of western influences was sweeping over Bollywood, so "Dhoom" tries to be an Indian version of some cult action movies from that time. However, instead of completely copying them, there is, naturally, a lot of singing and dancing, over the top action scenes and story pieces that are so unbelievable that you could give the job of scenario writing to a kid and get something similar. Despite all that, "Dhoom" has that same power that almost all or all Indian movies have. It's so bad it's good! It's a fun experience for a relaxing and enjoyable time with friends or family where you can together keep facepalming and watching in disbelief what absurdity will the Indian filmmakers do next. 7/10! Recommended for some mindless fun!

Dhoom!!!..... Blast!!!! Exactly what the movie is. It is a blast. It begins with style and keeps going... taking one on a roller coaster ride. Short movie with action-impact. The music is good... helps in taking the movie ahead. The editing is crisp. The photography is okays. The movie banks heavily on style and it delivers. The action sequences are the high-point and it does not disappoint.

From frame one to the last it is riveting. Abhishek again induces confidence that he is someone to reckon with. His lines are crisp and well-delivered. Uday goes over-board with his buffoonery. John is pure style. The meanie. The girls (Rimi especially) has loads of oomph.

Recommended Viewing for one and all!!
