Rating:
**1/2
After giving us a stream of frothy
romances, Yash Raj Films goes off the beaten track with a thriller. And this
testosterone-packed drama comes with the hallmark of all of Yash Raj stable's
bubbly romances – slick and stylised packaging which makes up for a
not-too-brilliant story line.
Directed by Sanjay Gadhvi
(
Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai
, 2002),
Dhoom
has a cop (Bachchan) chasing a
gang of daring robbers who make away with the loot on their imported bikes,
giving Mumbai's crime branch uneasy nights.
Between half-a-dozen
item numbers set to some racy music, the ACP hires the services of a mechanic
(Uday Chopra) who can match the racing skills of the robbers by flying his bike
over crowds and trains.
