the audience applauded

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Hi my name is Aaron and I am writing this review for this blockbuster movie dhoom 2 Nice concept I like the cemeteries between hrithik and aish and UDAY and bipasha It was nice seeing this superstars together they were superb performances Abhishek is definitely the best actor ever he does well in his performance Don't forget to watch this decent action movie

Seeing the rating that I've accorded this movie, I'm quite sure that I'm going to be getting quite a few (maybe all) thumbs down (Not that it bothers me, though I just thought I'd mention it). However, after seeing all the hate that this movie has garnered over here, I just thought I'd write this review. For the select few that can spare a few minutes, read on.The plot is fairly straightforward (and is also apparent from the trailers itself). Aryan is an international thief who, after committing heists successfully all over the world has set his eyes on Mumbai. The case is assigned to ACP Jai Dixit and a female officer Shonali Bose. But Aryan (Mr. A as he is known) has been committing heists which follow a certain pattern w.r.t. the dates and also form a sign on the world map - the "A" sign - which helps Jai predict the location of the next robbery. The question is will Jai be able to stop Mr. A.Technically speaking, the film is simply flawless. The background music is simply pulsating and energetic at the right places while the different ways in which the title track plays out are great. The action is simply top-notch for an industry which is literally starved of good action films. The cinematography and editing are also just right.Hrithik Roshan's performance as Mr. A is undoubtedly the highpoint of the film. It comes across as so strong that he doesn't even need dialogs to convey his character of a perfectionist - the only word he speaks during the first 30-40 minutes of the film is "perfect". His body language is in perfect harmony with his characterization in the film. He actually took to roller-blading for 1-2 months just to shoot a particular five-minute sequence involving them. Abhishek Bachchan simply lacks the spark he had in the original while playing Jai Dixit. Uday Chopra is his usual clumsy self which works in the movie at times. Aishwarya Rai, although starts off well, seems to become quite an irritating factor while Bipasha puts a commendable performance in seemingly inconsequential roles.Most of the "critics" here seem to have a problem with the absence of logic in the film. Well, all I can say is that as a director, Sanjay Gandhvi should have shot some scenes involving Aryan's past which could have made him more believable and acceptable. He actually had a background for Aryan - according to him, Aryan "is a rich boy who has lost his parents at a young age. He has always got A grades in school and has done a course in computer engineering. He is a well-traveled linguist, a connoisseur of wines, a man hugely into adventure sports.He does this purely for the adrenaline rush." And know, I'm not making this stuff out (unfortunately I cannot post a link to the source in a review). This is how he had actually conceived Aryan's character.The reason he decided to skip all these "details" is because he wanted Dhoom: 2 to play out as a thrill-ride. Of course he could have explained how exactly Aryan slips in and out of those disguises. But then his purpose was to provide the audience with a sense of surprise and he succeeded at it. And this is something you could only witness in a movie theater in India (I did) after which you'd probably agreed that this was the best possible way to present the heists in the movie.I could actually go on and on about this movie explaining / justifying it but I have just have to stop at some point. I would've even start an FAQ for this movie or responded on the boards - both of which I unfortunately cannot do because I cannot authenticate my account. All I'd say is that people here really have a double attitude. First they want our industry to attempt movies in different genres and break free from the romantic-comedy stereotype. Then, when such a movie actually arrives, they label it as being crap and ask Bollywood to go back to making its usual stuff. Perhaps that's why most films here are the usual romantic films - the audience just doesn't want to break free. And, (to a certain extent), I can understand people in the US not liking this movie (since they have their Ocean's 11,12,13... type movies) but an Indian dismissing this movie as crap is something which just does not feel right.Anyways, I'll end my rant here since I'm running out of space. All I can say is, this movie is escapist Bollywood at it's best. Although the plot is simple, the execution of the same is simply top-notch. It certainly deserves a viewing. And no, I'm not a fan boy showering praise on this movie. I'm saying what I feel I should. The Dhoom movie series has the potential to become Bollywood's first ever solid action movie franchise. "Perfect" !!!

This overlong sequel to Dhoom has a much bigger budget. Hrithik Roshan takes on the role of the villain and is coolness personified. The stunts are all very impressive by Hindi film standards, apart from an opening number on a train. Bipasha Basu and Aishwarya provide the glamor element and both look stunning. Aishwarya has a catchy dance number "Crazy Kiya Re". Uday is fine while poor Abhishek is saddled with the boring conventional role. The story makes little sense but the film is well-paced, and the fine stunts and dance numbers are enough to merit a visit to the theater.Overall 7/10

God! This this a bad movie or what! The script was just plain awful! The lines were very stupid and American slang wanna be like "like" and "are you like checking me out?"It sad how skinny Aish looked, the scene where Hrithik and Aish meet for the first time, Aish looked skinny and disgusting. The songs were dreadful. The movie has a kiss with the 2 main characters, and it was so cheaply and awfully done, someone should go slap the director for capturing such crap on film. Aish didn't even kiss back! The whole movie was very boring and unattractive.Take my word and DO NOT watch this movie.
