They don’t call him the big daddy of Indian cinema for nothing! Yash Chopra almost always manages to hit the bull’s eye. He has gone great guns with his recent release Hum Tum and this time round, he is all set to add another feather to his cap with Dhoom . And for those of you who think it’s a remake of the movie Torque , it’s certainly not.

The movie has a simple storyline that revolves around mammoth robberies in different parts of the Mumbai in short spans of each other by a gang of motorists. And the cop entrusted with the task of nabbing’em, is our very own Bachchan junior.

And helping him in his ordeal is one of the most under-rated actors of the industry, Uday Chopra, a master at bike riding. A wholesome entertainer through two and half hours, the movie won’t give you an opportunity to blink your eyes. The typical chor - Police theme has been played up in the movie with differentiation and utmost panache.

There are about four songs that are not out of sync and rather good. The title track is very good and adds to your satisfaction of full paisa vasool . Even after the movie is over you can feel the background score reverberating in your ears. Some great action and also decent comedy make Dhoom quite a winner.

And as far the cast is concerned, all those who thought that the new kids on the block were good for nothing, will have to think again.

Abhishek Bachchan is mind blowing and has already started showing streaks of his dad, convincing everyone that he has finally matured to take on the onus of being Bachchan junior.

Uday Chopra proves his versatility in the movie and can be trusted to take on the Chopra lineage in another direction of Indian cinema.

John Abraham as usual does justice to his wicked role and promises great potential.

Esha Deol looks ravishing in her new make over. Rimmi Sen also lives up well to her good furniture image in the film.

The movie dismisses the belief that Indian audiences are capable of only appreciating candy floss romance. Dhoom , a must watch.
