Dhoom 2 Back In Action Bollywood DVD With English Subtitles
J**E
This was my first Bollywood experience and enough to hook me for good!
I have to confess I originally viewed this movie on Netflix but loved it so much I had to purchase my own copy - and I'm so glad I did.Dhoom 2 (the entire Dhoom trilogy, really) could be called a buddy cop movie. And it is. However, if you're unfamiliar with Hindi language films then you're in for a buddy cop film unlike any you've ever seen. Jai (Abhishek Bachchan)and his funny partner Ali (Uday Chopra) work for Mumbai police when they are tasked with catching a master thief, the mysterious 'A' (Hrithik Roshan). This international thief has been robbing his way across the globe in bold, daring heists. He's cunning and elusive and hides in plain sight. An old college from of Jai's, Shonali (Bipasha Basu), also joins the team to catch 'A'. However, what better way to catch a thief than with another thief? Enter Sunehri (Aishwarya Rai).This movie takes views from Mumbai all the way to Rio. While there is plenty of action on trains, on motorcycle, over cliffs, you name it, this movie also has strong romantic elements and is a surprisingly feel-good film. The showdown between 'A' and Jai is fantastic. I really couldn't guess what was going to happen next. I enjoyed the unpredictability of it. Some of the stunts were a bit unbelievable but honestly that just made me love the movie more. It has just the right amount of goofiness.Then there are the music numbers (5 of them). This song has really catch songs (especially 'Touch Me') as well as fantastic choreography and very colorful costumes. I really loved the pageantry of it all. The acting is good too. I don't think any of these actors should win an award for their performances but they all did a great job. Roshan in particular is wonderful to watch. The man can seriously dance. His character dynamics with Bachchan's Jai was awesome, too. And Aishwarya Rai and Bipasha Basu are both so beautiful it just bowls me over. Wow.This is a movie I can watch over and over again because it entertains in so many ways. I love Dhoom 2!

Hollywood is dhoomed...
This was my first Bollywood experience, and it was an amazing one! I've always had an interest in Bollywood movies, and finally convinced myself to watch one. Also, I watched this movie without the english subtitles first to see how much of it I could pick up. This made the experience even better! When I watched it the second time with the subtitles, I could pick up important plot details, but it was still easy enough to figure it out without the subtitles. At any rate...how was the movie? Great in every aspect! The actors and actresses all did very well! The women were beautiful but also have some skillz! Bips did so well in her dual role that when I watched without subtitles, I wondered "What happened? Complete turnaround in personality!" Later, I found out it was a twin sister, so she played two different roles very well. Ash was sensational and the scene where she and Roshan are playing Russian Roulette with the bullet was the best of the movie. Uday was hilarious, and you can't help but laugh at his clumsiness. Bachran was good as the straight cop and his wife "Sweety" is hilarious. But, yes, Roshan stole the show. He was made for this role, and I actually found myself rooting for him! I was glad that it ended with no one getting killed and Jai Dixit was gracious to let the two go. I'm hoping they come out with a part 3, though, and Aryan and Sunehra return as villains. We want more! We want more!Also, the musical scores were great and the dancing out of this world! Good to see real actors and actresses multi-talented and unafraid to make fun of themselves. Hollywood should be ashamed. I think I'm converting to Bollywood now. Where have you been all my life? I definitely recommend this movie, and I'm gonna delve into the Bollyverse again in the very near future.

Dhoom 2 is fun to watch
Just like the first one, Dhoom 2 is a cute & silly action movie but this time there's more of a love story involved. Amerian's will view this as a comedy/love story that happens to have some action in it. Still fun to watch though.

"Dhoom Machale ~ Whew"
I would have to agree with a few of the critics/reviews given on the Hindu DVD! But sorry, I'm an american and think since I'm the only one recognizing the "English Subtitles" my response will be given here.Gosh I am still in awe with this movie! There was so much balance with Bollywood style of plot, solid packed action, music and dancing that whipped me of the chair and of course romance based on trust and inevitably love! Only HR and AR could pull it off! Action scenes were remarkable taking you in believing you were right there with them experiencing every moment or have the guts to experience. Hollywood should take a step back and take a few lessons in regards to exploiting sex, violence and romance on a film. We've all seen scenes of "Russian Roulette", but the scene shown in this film, in my opinion, was so freaking intense HR had me in tears at the end! The eyes of the actors were fierce with so much expression and conveyance; it was totally explosive between them.The music and dance, a[...] it; they should make it a pill and call it Dhoom Machale ~ I would love to see today's youth challenge it...they would have a blast!!!Beyond 5 stars and this is depended upon the reviewer's taste! Looking forward to seeing another action packed movie in Dhoom 3!
