As an Indian audience we have been craving for action movies these days since we experienced some spectacular action movies in Hollywood. As we thought, here comes a dashing and daring action film directed by sanjay. As it's theatrical trailer failed to create an impression upon us as well it's the first action film from yash raj films, most of us were not quite sure about dhoom. Upon it's release, i felt that it deserves more than we anticipated. Dhoom is an action thriller film which tells about the story of kabir, a calm and arrogant man attempts to loot a casino in goa and how his progess is retarded by a super cop jai and his fellow side kick Ali, a mechanic took from slums in order to associate jai in his case. Throughout the entire film action scenes were well shot as well tunic musics. Story of this film succeeds to keep us in edge by it's gripping screen play and thrilling background music by salim. In my point of view i personally felt that rimi sen shouldn't be in this film since her character in this movie is good though and in addition to that movie could have been even longer as action scenes and plot are very pleasing. In conclusion i would like to say that dhoom shouldn't be missed for any reason and it has all variety of entertainment as well as brilliant acting all over it. So go for it guys and have fun........

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!

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!!!

"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!

Obviously copied of biker boys and some other movies but it's a really good film. All 3 lead males did very well in there respected roles. Dhoom is the best movie in the franchise way better then 2 and 3. Even though the sequels made alot more money at the box office but it looks like yash raj dont know how to take the franchise forward in the right way. This was the only time all songs and the theme were really good. Dhoom has a perfect balance from beginning to end. It doesn't slow down anywhere so the editor was really good at his job. I wouldn't say you will get the feeling of watching some Hollywood movie with action scenes but you are guaranteed the 2 plus hours of pure entertainment. I would really reccomend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it at the same time I'd say avoid the 2 sequels.

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.

Indian motorcycle action film starring Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham
This action comedy by Sanjay Gadvhi started in 2004: Bollywood films became more consumable for audiences influenced by American-Western viewing habits, without Bollywood having to completely abandon its own style. Of course, this is based on F&F, but retains its own charm with a lot of winks.
A motorcycle gang, led by the charismatic Kabir (John Abraham), robs money transports and makes the streets of Mumbai unsafe. The upstanding cop Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan) fights against this and recruits a biker nerd (Uday Chopra) as an undercover spy. Of course, love is not neglected in the form of Esha Deol (Sheena) and Rimi Sen (wonderfully funny as the police officer's wife Sweety Dixit). A spectacular showdown occurs when the gang wants to rob a casino in Goa...
What producer Aditya Chopra (*1971) from Yash Raj Films has mixed together here is very entertaining. The two hours fly by. Undemanding entertainment, but definitely fun. The concept also worked in the box office, grossing around USD 7.3 million at the box office worldwide. Not bad for an Indian film at that time! A successful model was discovered that could be expanded in the following years. And with Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham you had two attractive stars who were and are also compatible with a Western audience. More films from the Bollywood entertainment industry could follow.

This movie is basically like a wannabe fast and furious and it tries to be many other things. But that is Bollywood. If you don't really care and aren't really thinking and want to get entertained, than this is a movie you should watch. The acting by Abhishek and John Abraham was okay; good enough for their first hit movie. Obviously, Uday Chopra was horrible and annoying to the core. He tries way too hard to be funny and cool. The music was good, though. There was some comedy, but some of it was not really that funny. The only thing I really remember this movie for was the cheesy action sequences and the repeated "Dhoom Machale" music and tune. Overall, the movie is okay and, I mean, it isn't horrible, but it isn't great. It still entertains, though. I would rate it like a 6.3 out of 10.

This movie just runs like a race between police and burglars. we know obviously who wins in the race. I believe it's a turning point to Abhishek Bachan, equal importance is given to Uday Chopra who gives comic relief through out the movie.

This movie basically seemed to me like a bad attempt to copy American action movies. I generally don't like those movies and not knowing what I was getting to see I was hoping to see a real Indian movie. Instead it was this weird cultural-crash-movie. But that's not the reason I didn't like Dhoom.
It's because the whole movie is so bad it's laughable. The dialogs are tacky ("Thank you mummy. Yes very okay very okay", etc), the story is predictable and boring, the actors are extremely bad and the cutting and special effects (or whatever you want to call it) are simple and pretentious. They have tried to make it "cool" but they fail so much it's almost as sad and funny as watching Jackie Chan in City Hunter.

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!!

After a series of clever, successful robberies by a motorcycle gang, Assistant Commissioner of Police Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan) takes the case personal, and with the help of a minor crook Ali (Uday Chopra) attempts to catch them in the act. John Abraham plays Kabir, the mastermind behind the thefts, with Esha Deol as Sheena, Ali's love interest, and Rimi Sen portraying Sweety, Jai's wife.
This action/adventure film is not an outstanding one. There is no surprise to the plot, it drags in spots (the last ten minutes felt like it lasted three times as long), and is, at times, rather inane. The music and choreography were unremarkable. As there was no depth to the plot, the actors only presented average performances. Despite all that, this popular film was rather fun, and I would consider watching the other two in the series.

For the first time, Bollywood tried to make something fast paced and could have been very entertaining than it is now. And I really hoped they would come out with some original ideas and techniques; whereas, some of the sequences (e.g.: take a close look at the last action sequence, won't have to work hard) seemed very familiar (if you know what I mean!!). The screenplay was really good. The dialogues are magnetic enough to serve the crowd. The whole movie has a young and fresh look to it. But what I wanted to see is an original story line, truly original, well.. you won't have try hard to find it out that- it's not, except for the very last sequence, which can really blow one's mind. I give 7 out of 10 for the last sequence and for the rest of the movie, well.. 5 will suffice. That averages it down to 6.

Said to be loosely based on Taxi and Point Break, I thought Dhoom (Blast) seemed to be a whole lot more like the original Fast and the Furious, with a gang of robbers pulling of heists and escaping in their high octane machines charged with nitrous oxide gases, only this time, the sports cars are replaced with sports bikes. But unlike FnF which had its cop infiltrate the gang, we have a supercop hot on the heels of the gang with the help of the fastest rider in Mumbai, with shades from Taxi in a way.
Abhishek Bachchan plays ACP Jai Dixit the supercop, a proud man dead sure of his abilities to apprehend the crooks, though himself has no qualms about meting out violence to deal with violence. John Abraham's Kabir looks like Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt in M:I2 with his wavy hair flowing while riding a bike at top speed, and with his merry men from the Pizza Place, throws down the gauntlet at Jai. Rounding up the testosterone picture is Uday Chopra as the top biker and mechanic Ali Akbar Fateh Khan, who reluctantly joins forces with Jai Dixit, and gets embroiled against his wishes in this cops-and-robbers chase. He prefers to chase skirts, given his lack of appeal in the ladies department, and provides the complimentary comedic moments.
The female characters here, with Rimi Sen as Mrs Dixit and Esha Deol the singer, somehow become bit players, with not much room for their characters, given that it's understandably an action movie after all. And the action doesn't disappoint even if it's not exactly A-list jaw- dropping material. There's always that tinge of familiarity, but the stars pull them off with aplomb. If you were to think they're copying their counterparts in Hollywood with vehicle stunts, and that fight atop a moving trailer which looks suspiciously like Matrix Reloaded's, well, if imitation is a form of flattery, at least Dhoom managed to come off rather convincingly.
For a Bollywood movie, it clocks in at a surprisingly reasonable 129 minutes, and given its fast pace, there's rarely a moment where you'll get bored. I totally enjoyed Dhoom's soundtrack, and the song and dance numbers are fast ones which is an additional plus. I never cease to be amazed by the dance choreography, and my favourite one was where Dhoom Machale song being performed on stage, complete with pyrotechnics.
Dhoom lives up to its name, and it's easy to have a blast of a time on a lazy Sunday afternoon with his, even though the story's pretty straightforward and rehashed from elements seen frequently from Hollywood. For someone who enjoys song and dance routines, I think I'll be looking towards covering more Bollywood movies real soon.

Motor-bikes, fist-fights, gun-fights, beautiful women (and men), dancing singing and exotic locations, what more could you want? Director Sanjay Gadhvi uses all the tricks to give us a fast-paced romantic thriller. The story is a simple cops and robbers drama with the twist that the thieves use high-powered motor-bikes for their heists. Many of the action devices are derivative (motor-bikes disappearing at high speed into the back of a trailer to evade the police, a speedboat flying through flaming oil barrels, leather-clad thieves entering the vault upside down on cables), but have you ever seen them combined with a pop musical? The speed noise and colour leave you gasping for breath. See it!

Yash Chopra took a break with their romance and since their flop VIJAY(1988) and perhaps DARR(1993) which was a hit they return with an action film
The film is a remake of FAST AND THE FURIOUS and it's nothing but just about bike chases and the cop versus thief game
The film starts okay, with a long stupid romance scene between Abhishek and Rimii Sen Then we shift to Uday Chopra a useless thief who cries to his mummy there are some funny scenes here which are badly used in D:2
back to DHOOM
The highlight is the chases which are quite engrossing and the scenes involving Abhishek and John
The entire game plan of putting Uday in John's gang is well handled but the reason Uday is chosen is not explained, Because he never drives a bike afterwards Also his romance with Esha is cute but her change of heart is too sudden The climax is too far fetched
Direction by Sanjay Gadhvi is good Music is good
Abhishek tries hard, though he reminds of his dad a lot and does a pale imitation in the drunk act Uday is quite funny in many parts John is too cool in his part, the role skyrocketed his fan base Esha looks bad and her act is bad Rimmii is good

While watching Dhoom,I found that many stunts had been copied from 'Days of Thunder'.It was one of the few Bollywood films which had been copied from Hollywood very well.The locations,bikes and stunts were superb,but it was similar to Days of Thunder in terms of star success.Look how great superstars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman became after DOT.The same happened to Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham.They(the hero and the villain)were better than the others.The girls,Esha and Rimmi,were useless.Overall,an adrenaline booster and a very gripping and exciting story.But later,DO NOT RIDE BIKES AT FULL SPEED IN CROWDED BOMBAY,because you may end up like Ali(Uday Chopra).

The first time when i watched the movie i seemed so nice and interesting to me,but just for the first time the variety of mistakes did not permit me to like the movie for the second time. first thing is about the streets i have been living in India for more than 2 years and i have seen different places in the mumbai, where the story happens, frankly none of the streets and highways are quiet for robbers to robe the bank truck and run away. second problem is about esha deol's dressing i don't think even the most sexiest Indian actress dress up like what she did alone in the streets late at night. and third one is when uday chopra and absheik bachan are following the robbers in a complete quiet highway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and with the terribly high speed i was wondering how absheik could seat on the bike with that speed!!!!!!!!and in another hand when he half standed on the bike to shoot robbers for sure he would have fallen down,in fact that part of the movie is not at all wise. after all i can say dhoom is a medium movie.
