Review of Dhoom 2 (2006) by Gavin S — 23 Sep 2007
Imagine a Hollywood action film, but then amp up the cheese factor and add musical numbers. Essentially, that is what this film is. Two Mumbai police officersfind themselves on the trail of an International Super-Thief known only by the symbol he always leaves behind, "A.
" The fact that A is a master of disguise leads to such classic scenes as him pulling off a jewel heist at a museum by disguising himself as a statue! A quickly outsmarts our heroic detectives, but he suddenly has to contend with another thief pretending to be him.
This turns out to be Aishwarya Rai and understandably A finds himself drawn to her, even if she seems to be a bit of an airhead. Quickly he agrees to make her his apprentice, but who is she really working for? This film has over-the-top action scenes, random explosions, motorcycle chases, silly musical numbers, and even the annoying comical sidekick.
Calling it an actually "good" film might be a stretch, but damn it's fun and a lot more enjoyable than many Hollywood blockbusters.
