Dhoom again!

Say it luck or anything, I was waiting to go for Dhoom-2 for a long time and finally this weekend the wait was over ... twice. Something like the double-premiere of Sahara One.

About the movie? Nothing much to say. Girls, bikes, stunts and music that was the USP of the first edition and same is the case here. Though he second half predominantly is a love story which causes it to drag a bit. Stunts are really cooler in this one, especially those by Hrithik. Bollywood has surely matured quite a lot in terms of how the new and copied stunts are executed and used in the movie.

If they are planning a series then I think all Bollywood actors will be wishing to get the thief’s role, because the entire movie is made with the thief in focus and rest others supporting him. Abhishek did a good job with whatever he got, but for some funny reason he forgot to go to gym for the movie or maybe when your wife is pregnant you should also put on weight just to give her company. One thing where this ones lags behind the first one is how suspense elements are handled, there could have been bit more suspense specially involving Aishwarya. Uday Chopra's character was something which I never understood why it there since the first edition and this time the list expanded with Bipasha Basu.

Final word, you can definitely watch it once for all the stunts and get-ups of Hrithik apart from the girls, bike and music; but definitely not a second time unless someone else is paying for the tickets as was the case for me.
