The title track promises a roller coaster ride... and thats exactly what it delivers.... a roller coaster ride of thrills and some ignorable spills............



What could be bigger than a movie which has Hrithik, Abhishek and Ash in the same movie..... the hype began when this coup was made.. and it just developed into a avalanche of hype that the movie opened with.


Hype is something which can make or break a film, it makes the expectations skyrocket and if the movie doesnot eventually match up to the hype the spiral downwards is equally steep.


So how does the most hyped up movie of recent times fare up..... let me give you my point of view...


Dhoom 2 is a sequel, and I believe a sequel is successful only if it can better the original. Dhoom was a film which broke the genre of romantic movies at the box office.. It put the buck where the bang was.. action became cool again.. and icons were made... the whole nation rocked to "Dhoom Machale" and it created a space for stylized action movies to be made...


So anything which followed Dhoom had to be bigger... and thats where Dhoom2 steps up to the plate. For starters it has the biggest starcast of the year. backing by the successful Yashraj films and the same director back at the helm.


When the Dhoom series began it began from the concept that every five minutes needed a highlight, a cool action scene or a great song... the enterprise carry's forth with same belief.


So we have Hrithik jumping of a airplane and pulling of a impossible heist in Namibia for the opening sequence. Its followed a supercool hrithik rocking to "Dhoom Again" when the titles roll. The pace is set and what follows is a barrage of eyecandy... Hrithik pulling of robberies after robberies which incredulous techniques [thank fully not borrowed from Hollywood this time].


By the time interval hits you, you have already feel u have had your monies worth. The second half is more of the same lots of action and cool songs.


Agreed this movie aint one that would be "intellectually stimulating" but its damn entertaining and I believe great cinema is one which does what it sets out to do. In this case to entertain and it does it to the fullest. Escapism is the name of the game here.


I am conciously not telling u the story here coz.. actually there ain't any and u are happy for it.. it just ur cop chase robber saga with a love story thrown in...


Cast


Hrithik Roshan:This man is awesome period. He looks awesome and does the craziest stunts that would put any hollywood actor worth his salt to shame. This man has arrived and is undoubtedly the international face of Indian cinema. Just go watch this movie for this man... ultra cool..


Abhishek : This man isnt his usual self this movie and gets over shadowed Hrithik big time. Does a honest job but ain't his usual self.


Aishwarya:tries to look vey hot in the first half and half succeeds, the skimpy outfits doesnt just go with her some how. But her performance in the second half is worth mentioning especially the scene across the table with Hrithik.


Uday: Is actually funny this time and is bearable which is a surprise to me.. way to go Uday


Bipasha:Looks like desi Lara Croft in the first half and thats about it. Dunno why she was there in the first place. The most confusing part of the movie about the twin Bips Monali and Shonali...


Overall


Great movie, kool songs another movie this year which makes you feel Bollywood is on the right track. The action and stunts match up to any hollywood movie. and Hrithik is gonna go ballistic from here...


Go Dhoom Again
