I have no words to describe how disappointed I was with Dhoom 2. There was no story to speak of. There was no direction. I think the makers of Dhoom 2 would like to believe that the audience of Hindi films are like the audience of Teletubbies. Show some colorful scenes, some song and dance and we will all be happy and merry. I was impressed with what Bollywood movies have achieved in terms of technical wizardry, but was terribly let let down down by the movie makers' total lack of respect for the audience's intelligence.
I read previous reviews about how Aishwarya Rai was 'hot' etc etc. There are a lot of 'hot' things out there if thats what people were looking for in this presentation. And Rai fails to impress in this regard. Her teen 'hep' character is contrived and shallow. Especially as the 'gritty' American girl who challenges her dude to a basket ball game. Most of Dhoom 2 is like that... a collage of borrowed concepts and montages which can be easily traced to their origins, giving a feeling of being cheated. Main Hoon Na did it with panache, but Dhoom 2 is a total waste of time. Yours and the film makers. (and mine, some might say, for writing this review)
