I was expecting a lot from this one. This one seems to have everything right. Its a relief that it fulfills most of the expectations. The movie definitely raises the bar for all the Bollywood movie to come. It starts with a train robbery by Hrithik as Aryan aka 'A' somewhere in the deserts. Mr A is a master thief who specializes in robbing the rare, perfect and priceless stuff from all over the world... He meets Aish on one of his heist in India and they decide to work as a team. On the other hand Abhi, Uday and Bips are planning a trap on him. Post intermission, the whole setup is in Brazil for the grand Finale and a couple of twists in the tale. The story is simple as a cat and mouse game. What makes it interesting are the robberies and the techniques used. The heists are in league with steal, MI-2 (esp the diamond one). Then there is Hritik, Bips and Aish.. All the newcomers are stunning and fits the bill as cool, stylish with razor sharp dialogs. Acting wise, Abhishek had the ground set due to the prequel and he delivers dynamite. His one liners and the conversation with Uday are the soul of the movie. Uday is good but he didn't have much to do as per the story. He shud have given more footage. Hritik impresses as a calculating, stylish thief. Aish is convincing in the emotional scenes. Bips impresses in the first half and is wasted in second half. The movie could have been better if there would have been a bit of character development and the last robbery being the best. It came as a sort of anti climax because i was expecting it to be tougher than the previous ones. Also, as in dhoom prequel, the heist were not engraved as it could have been and there were few misses here and there. The songs are good only if u watch them on the screen with the movie. They wont last on their own for long... Overall, A must watch if u like stylish action over a weekend!!!

Yes I've watched Dhoom-2. The story is that there is a criminal named Mr. A (Hrithik). He steals valuable things and he stole a jewel in India. Jai (Abhishek) sends Sunehri (Aishwarya) to get close to him and learn his plans. Sunehri tells Jai that he will steal something in Brazil, so Jai and Ali (Uday) go to stop him. However, Sunheri becomes a thief along with Mr. A, also known as Aryan and they love each other. In a long story of events, Sunehri kills Mr. A and escapes, but 6 months later Jai finds Sunehri and Aryan living on the Fiji Islands together and own a shop and have a simple life. They have went straight, and Jai says that if they do anything bad, he will find them. Shonali and Monali (Bipasha) has a side role and does not do anything special, but you see Shonali in India as a cop, and her twin sister, Monali in Brazil. It's a crime thriller/comedy/romance movie with more song & dance numbers than usual. I felt the romance part was the real center piece and it worked very well, the comedy was ok, although most of the audience laughed a lot, the action scenes were unbeatable and the music fantastic. Speaking of fantastic, as a big fan of basketball there is a really unique "basketball in the rain" sequence that is truly amazing. The players: Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan. Go see it! Dhoom 2 was alright, but there were somethings that were fake and could never have happened. The first Dhoom was about motorcycles, but this isn't. It was ok.
