The power struggle that Hrithik and Abhishek's characters exude almost rivaled John and Abhishek's chemistry from the original. That's the kind of suspension of disbelief that I will always root for.Īnd can we please take a minute to appreciate the stunning visuals and action sequences, that was especially commendable considering the time in which the film released? And then, to see that bullfight in Kalank in 2019. Simply put, of course, people are escaping through manholes without getting caught - but Dhoom 2 made it almost believable that it could happen, even if you were left wondering, what the hell happened to this disguise.

The many disguises that Aryan dons were extremely believable (with the exception of Queen Elizabeth, that still, is one of Bollywood's better renditions) - especially when he transformed into a freaking statue! Heists that were well-planned, with just the right hint of fantasy to make it entertaining but not entirely unbelievable. Dhoom 2 did it perfectly by bringing back the much-loved cop duo of Jai and Ali, and yet weaving a story that would make just as much sense, even if you missed the first film.Ģ.

The film that, at the time, broke Bollywood's curse of disappointing sequels, Dhoom 2 was thrilling, slick, and the kind of masala entertainer that kept alive my faith in Bollywood. 15 years ago Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai sizzled on-screen, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra rekindled their bromance, and Bipasha Basu served epic comic timing, in what has got to be one of Bollywood's finest heist dramas, Dhoom 2.
