Dhoom is the Start of a New Era of Movies, 11 April 2006
8/10
Author: starstruck52 from United States

Dhoom is the start of a new era. Dhoom is one of those movies that can never be remade. It is cool, hip, and totally modern. It is sad that Dhoom 2 could not live up to its expectations. But you always have this movie to look back on. The movie is visually perfect. Action scenes are awesome, and everything looks perfect. The movie does have semi clad girls, but if they were fully clothed, the movie would not maintain a mood. The movie however is one of those movies that you cannot call a classic. But it is definitely worth a watch.

The greatest factor of the movie are the characters and on par acting. The star of the movie is John Abraham. With the exception of Water and Jism, John has never been able to give an emotional performance that is will completely satisfy a person. This is his second best performance. Second is without a doubt Abhishek Bachchan. He is likable yet arrogant. He gave an awesome performance, and best of all, he doesn't try to copy his dad as much. Uday Chopra gives his career best performance. He is hilarious yet cool. The best thing about all three characters is that they are equally cool and fun to watch. The girls have small roles, but Rimi Sen is perfect. She is HOT and looks the part. Esha Deol surprisingly plays a glamorous role to perfection and looks amazing. The director succeeded in something that many would find impossible.

The other star of the movie is easily the soundtrack. We are talking about a soundtrack that is original and rocking. My favorite song is Salaame, which could have been filmed with more excitement, but is enjoyable none the less. The best picturized song is easily Dhoom Machale. The movie has a beautiful dancer, good choreography, and rocking song: no wonder it was a hit. Dilbara was also fun and fit Uday Chopra. Shikdum is the romantic number. The movie deserved to be a hit and is probably one of the (if not, the) best of its genre (action and comedy).
