Dhoom on AllMovie

High-speed criminals terrorize a city, and it's up to one man and his sidekick to bring them down in this action thriller from India. A crime wave hits the city of Mumbai when a gang of daring thieves on souped-up motorcycles, led by the corrupt but methodical Kabir (John Abraham), stage a series of daring and lucrative robberies, then go into hiding posing as pizza delivery drivers. The police have been unable to track down the bandits thus far, so top detective Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan) is given the assignment of bringing them to justice. Jai enlists the help of mechanic and expert motorcycle rider Ali (Uday Chopra), and while Ali's neo-slacker attitude doesn't mesh well at first with Jai's no-nonsense efficiency, they learn to work as a team. But as they begin to tighten the net around Kabir's gang, the clever thief realizes the police are closing in. Dhoom star Abhishek Bachchan also starred in another major Bollywood production, Phir Milenge, both of which received their American debut on the same weekend.
