Review of Dhoom 2

Dhoom 2 (2006)
7/10
Great packaging; contents leave a lot to be desired

Warning: Spoilers
Dhoom 2, one of the most eagerly awaited movies of the year, is finally out. And how is it? It's okay.

It looks great, brilliant locales, camera work, Hritik and Ash look excellent, too. But as far as a storyline goes, it disappoints. Unlike the first Dhoom, where there was a crisp storyline, supported by great stunts, this one has superb stunts trying to hold together a non-existent story.

Ash is extremely annoying, from her first dialog onwards. Bipasha is wasted. Abhishek doesn't have that much to do and is more supporting cast than anything else. I can't stand Uday Chopra.

Hritik is the best thing in the movie. He is cool, smooth and can take on action really well. However, compared to John Abraham's character in the first one, Hritik is a slightly kind hearted and emotional guy. I preferred Kabir's character cos he was really a bad boy. I don't know why they didn't go all the way with Hritik on that. It might have been better and Ashwairya's character could've been completely written off.

All in all, watch it once cos its fun.
