Dhoom:2

Viewers had too much expectations from this movie... But it turned out to be a biggest disaster... I watched the first day first show and regret it. Complete wastage of 3 hours... Hritik is the only good thing about the movie... Movie takes so many twists and turns, that it looks like they started it without a script only... there are loopholes in the script as big as grand canyon. The double role of Bipasa can't be explained in any possible way. The character of Abhishek is not at all defined... The emotions scenes are put in just for the sake of complete traditional Indian movie... It was too frustrating... I wish the distributors good luck!!!

I thought this movie was very good. The storyline was good and the songs were brilliant. The Dhoom Again song I thought was the best. Hritik Roshan did brilliantly and a very important scene near the end went well and it was not over-acted. Aish was OK in most bits, such as when she was crying and was scared. Some bits were a BIT overacted. Abishek did well too. He managed to give a good screen presence in the songs and was very good in expressions and his dialogues. Uday was HILARIOUS and did brilliantly with his dreaming bits. Bips was good, but her English-speaking bits were a BIT strange! Overall i would still give it 10/10 for the excellent story!

"Dhoom 2" starts with a scene that made my jaw drop and left me puzzling why director Sanjay Gadhvi isn't locked away in the Tower of London. Hrithik Roshan posing as the Queen? The mind boggles! This film is lightweight entertainment but it boasts one of the best looking cast I've ever seen and the visuals are gorgeous. Aishwarya Rai is delicious as bad girl Sunehiri and Bipasha Basu is delectable as twin sisters Shonali and Monali. Rimi Sen reprises her role as long-suffering wife of Abhishek Bachchan, Sweety.

Bachchan's Jai Dixit is not the most likable character but Uday Chopra is the perfect sidekick, bringing welcome comic relief to most scenes.

However, it's Hrithik Roshan who steals the show (no pun intended). Roshan is a great bad guy and the most interesting character in the film.

The dance sequences and songs are a lot of fun but the film could have been so much better had the script been more developed.

7 out of 10. Good but not great.

First the comparison with Dhoom 1. It is repetitive in parts, especially because of the irritating Ali (Uday Chopra), who has outlived his utility in the first part. On the other hand, this has Hrithik and Ash, and is basically all about the duo! Abhishesk as Inspector Jai provides the continuity in the story, but this is Hrithik's film all the way. He packs in a great performance, looks awesome, fights, dances, cries, laughs and even kisses (yes, the infamous kiss!) all the way. Just watch this for him. Ash looks fabulous and puts in a great performance as well. The songs are a let down, except for the title number Dhoom machale. The story is good, however the ending is a let-down as compared with the first part. Don't listen to your pals who tell you that this is copied from numerous Hollywood movies. It's just that the intellectuals are jealous because Bollywood has finally managed to look as good as Hollywood!

Probably one of the rare instance where the successor is better than the predecessor. And yes, solely the credit should go Hritik Roshan for setting the screen ablaze with his electrifying presence. Truly he had added sheen to every frame he is present in. And yes, neatly providing hand-in-glove support is Aishwarya and in honesty the due credit should be given. The only disappointment is her performance which was "like" artificial, while on the other hand Hritik's perfection clearly left its mark.

Jr. B was completely overshadowed by Hritik. I guess Dhoom 2 was Hritik's payback for Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon, and my my!!

Uday Chopra is good in the edited role. Anything more would have spoilt the feast. His pairing was akin to 48 Hours, Lethal Weapon and Rush Hour.

Bipasha's sole intention seemed to flaunt her figure which she succeeds. And the double-role was a pot-hole in the storyline.

Rimi Sen's character was simply loud and should have been left out (just like Eesha Deol). In fact they should have borrowed the franchise idea from Munnabhai.

Songs take a while to grow on you unlike the Dhoom where it was instant hit. Choreography deserves a special mention, and yes Vaibhavai Merchant proved she is second to none.

Action sequences are well done. Noteworthy are suspenseful interplay between Hritik and Aishwarya & Hritik and Jr. B. Some good writing there indeed and remind you of Tarantino in Kill Bill.

Indeed Dhoom had a great potential to churn it into a successful franchise sadly the politics it has run into mars the chances. Needless to say, if it were to go forward Dhoom II has definitely set the bar quite high.
