| Customer Reviews: One of the Best Bollywood films January 26, 2009 Manuel Mendoza If you are a fun of Bollywood or would like to get into these kinds of films, this is a must have. My family and I saw this once at a friends house and ended up getting it for our home also. Great Sound Track and the story is good too. MUST HAVE.

Dhoom 2 has some shine, but not quite a diamond... November 4, 2009 Robert J. Cook (Ohio, Elsewhere.) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am by no means a Bollywood fanatic, but since I work with indians where I'm at, I dabble from time to time(Just for a background):
I had become a fan of Aishwarya Rai through some of her other movies, and that was my inspiration to purchasing here. As stunning as she is visually, she can be a bit stiff with her acting...But I was pleased by the results.
The film opens with a fantastic heist sequence that would be good even in Hollywood standards, though some of the sequence is a bit over the top, it sets a good tone. The main theme that begins and ends the film is then played...Easily the best song of the movie, with great energy to set the tone for the movie. The plot surrounds Mr. A(ryan)as the worlds greatest thief, Sunehri a competing theif that yearns for Mr. A's attention, and Jai, Shonali, and Ali as the police trying to catch him.
The Heist sequences are all rather innovative, and the music, while not spectatularly stimulating lyrically, serve to add the comic relief or romance required. The dramatic elements do provide irony and recall Heat and Italian Job/Ocean's 11/12/13 with some of the setups. The scenes between the theives really are the heart of this film, and one in particular really stole the film...It was one of the best scenerios and most emotionally charged moments I have seen in any movie, and to that I commend it. The comedy of the Cops is enjoyable yet sometimes forced, but is also expected from a Bollywood film. The actual storyline without the music could have created a more focused film, but that is just me with a Hollywood mind sense of film making.
The film is very enjoyable, and if you are new to the Bollywood experience, I would say this is a good start, as it does its best to be a western film. The 4/5 is given due to some of the flow of the film stalling from the required music of Bollywood. I really enjoyed the film as a whole, and I do not mind the musical fusion that is involved, it is a part of the culture, but I also feel that it could be blended better than this film provided. I did enjoy it, and will watch the film again in the future, as the the characters and story are solid, I just can not offer 5 stars when there are blemishes showing.
Please view it for yourself and decide for yourself...The good clearly outweigh the bad.
Cute action film November 24, 2009 S. Prieto Despite the corny, unrealistic action moves (especially the beginning) it was really enjoyable to watch this cops and robbers chase from India into Brazil. The love story was irresistible as well, with a believable performance by both Aishwarya and Hrithik.
