Dhoom:2

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.

Yes,its Dhoom machale once again! This time leave out John Abraham and add in his girl Bipasha Basu.Also add in a dash of Hrithik Roshan and a pinch of Aishwarya Rai and you get Dhoom 2! Expectations are high ,and you just pray that your'e not disappointed...

You see,when you watch Dhoom 2 ,you realize its not about the plot but about high-tech action,beautiful locations,danceable songs and not to forget: our good-looking hotties: Hrithik,Aish,Abhi and Bipasha...And they don't disappoint! This film keeps its promise in that it never fails to entertain you-never mind the plot.What you get is good-looking people doing high-tech stunts,dancing and romancing in locales such as Rio de Janerio in Brazil..

Verdict:Don't bring along your brains for this movie-Just sit back and relax as top bollywood stars flex their muscles and toned bodies and entertain you throughout this flick!

This movie is a milestone in Hindi Cinema. It shows that Bollywood can match Hollywood in terms of churning out vacuous yet big budget action flicks. Nevertheless, while for now the audience may be divided as to cheering or jeering it, in years to come it will be celebrated in the "So Bad, it's Good" category, with an inane script and dialogue that draws out uninvited laughter. The only way to be entertained by it is to make fun of it to entertain yourself.

But the stars have made the most of it and look their glamorous best here. Hrithik Roshan's charisma and looks carry the movie while Abhishek Bachchan's stoic hero gives grounding to the extravagant set-pieces. Aishwarya Rai gives the most atrociously misjudged performance of her career. What should have been more of a hot Michelle Pfeiffer-as-Catwoman role became a Halle Berry-as-Catwoman role. That's if Halle Berry mixed up her notes with Alicia Silverstone's for her role in Clueless. Bipasha Basu lends a hand in disposing of any credibility left to the story. Both look amazing though and Bipasha especially gets credit for not glamorising anorexia.

The movie doesn't have the same infectious sense of fun that something like Main Hoon Na has but it's worth a watch as long as you keep one finger over the fast-forward button.

Let's cut to the chase and first get the basics done away with. Saw this movie today, and these are a few points that I feel should be answered first.

1. As a sequel to 'Dhoom,' is this movie better than the first one? Yes!

2. Is it worth watching? If you liked 'Dhoom,' this one is a must see!

3. Avoid it if you expect any drama, or food for intellectual thought. This is all about living life in the fast and furious lane.

Coming to the nittty-gritty of it… Before you watch this movie, spare a moment and find out why you want to watch this flick. If it's for the hype or the curiosity value the first offering delivered AND you liked the first one, then I highly recommend it, since it delivers more than you expected… Bike aficionados might be a bit disappointed as you will find only one bike chase sequence here… and if it reminds you of the one in MI-2, kindly take no offence. The director here is creative enough to come out with his own version.

D2 is a movie that revolves around mastermind thief 'A' (Hrithik) who makes robbery into art and has earned international acclaim for the same. Next on his list is to commit the crime in the city of Mumbai where he shall meet Inspector Jai (Abhishek) and his sidekick Ali (Uday) to foil all attempts. Now this is a criminal who like Val Kilmer in the… 'Saint'… keeps changing his appearance. So no one really knows how this chappy looks.

But our desi version of Tango (Jai) aided by Cash (Ali), are quick enough to understand his mindset and identify the next place in Mumbai this international artist-thief wants to add to his kitty.

Despite their best efforts which include Inspector SHOW (Bipasha- No pun intended) this thief manages to take home his prize. What follows next is a roller coaster ride of twists and turns which I better omit since it will steal the thunder of watching the movie. For real added incentive is our desi Catwoman (Aishwarya)

What works for D2 is slick editing, a better script than the first one, getting to watch Bipasha and Ash who look beautiful, especially in skimpy clothes which look great on them, exotic international locales (beaches / waterfalls included) And a Hrithik who carries the entire show to perfection. He suits the pace and style of this movie to the square inch and makes for some sizzling chemistry with Ash on screen for the first time. Hey! even the songs are quite foot-tapping.

Also watching Abby Baby and him sharing the same screen space in a few shots is awesome. As expected, Uday gets the best one-liners and carries on from where he left off in 'Dhoom.' Great cinematography that the movie showcases setting the tempo with its opening sequence of a running train (though the scene did bring back memories for the opening sequence to 'Bad Day at Black Rock -1955')

That the movie missed out on a 10/10 from me was only for the reason that though the heist sequences are quite innovative and the stunts quite good… they simply leave a lot of questions unanswered??? Rimi Sen purely serves the purpose of a hanger and is soon forgotten.

Rest of the cast is simply there… their characters float along, hardly given a chance for development. One walks out of the theatre only remembering it to be a movie about Hrithik and Ash supported by 'OTHERS.' Some of the scenes are simply hard to digest... since I have no intention to spoil your appetite my only hint goes for keeping a close eye on the first FEMALE :-)who comes on screen. That should give you a preview of how CORNY few of other scenes are likely to get.

But all said and done, a viewer should keep all that aside and watch this movie for its pure entertainment value.

So keep your analytical brain out of the equation and watch this movie to add some 'extra Dhoom' to a mundane day.
