Dhoom
2004 Directed by Sanjay Gadhvi
Synopsis
One brave cop... one smart thief... one cool biker... together they create... Dhoom
A gang of bikers headed by the cool-headed and arrogant Kabir is on a robbing spree in Mumbai. They rob establishments and then zip away on their superbikes. ACP Jai Dixit is the case in-charge and he recruits a bumbling bike mechanic and racer named Ali to chase the gang on a bike and help Jai nab them. Kabir accepts the challenge, and pulls off another robbery amidst a function. This causes Jai and Ali to call it off. Jai resigns from the police force and Ali goes back to his daily job. Meanwhile Kabir has lost one of his team members and recruits Ali for their final job in Goa. The action shifts from the congested Mumbai traffic to the sunny Goa for the final showdown between cops and robbers.

Mostly fun action, but not as good as Dhoom 2 (which I, perhaps mistakenly, watched first).

Re-watch at home. Very cheesy, lots of goofy slow-mo camera angles that I did not notice the first time. But, some scenes entertaining nonetheless.

A major action/crime flick with motorcycles, John Abraham and Abheishek Bachchan squaring off and Uday Chopra providing comic relief. Watched without English subtitles. Major dance numbers and stunts.
