The internet! So, I decided it was about time I watch a real Bollywood movie and not just random Youtube clips.įirst thing first, Bollywood movies are fucking LONG.
Like the Bollywood you only hear about on the internet. Not a British director with a bunch of British actors who are ethnically Indian. This means all of my “local favorites” are all Bollywood movies. I live in Jersey City, which is heavily populated by Indian people nowadays.
Why am I mentioning all this? Well, Netflix has a feature on its website that changed my life the other night. Twenty minutes later, I was signed up for Netflix and have been ever since. This led me to a problem, would I have to track down a copy of this movie on ebay and purchase it fully knowing that I would not like it? Thankfully, while doing just that I saw an advertisement for Netflix on the internet. But Blockbuster didn’t carry it, rightly so. I really just wanted to see how bad it truly was. But for whatever reason, one day in college I had this desire to see it. I didn’t see this awful and first sequel to The Crow when it came out years upon years ago in the theaters.
In all honesty, I started this journey with Netflix because of a bad movie: The Crow: City of Angels. Because of this I have a subscription to Netflix. I watch movies, a lot of movies, different types of movies, ones that I know I won’t even like. With: Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Uday Chopra, Bipasha Basu, Rimi Sen.They do.

Plot has more holes than a shower nozzle, but believability is hardly what “Dhoom:2” is really about.Ī Yash Raj Films release of a Yash Chopra presentation of a Yash Raj Films production. As Jai, Bachchan is all super-cool in the first half and more textured in the second, especially in his faceoffs with Roshan.Īggressive disco-style musical numbers are staged OK by Vaibhavi Merchant, and other production credits (apart from some iffy color processing that has a diffused look) are fine. Pair do, however, generate some heat in their romantic byplay, balancing the comedic romance between Ali and Shonali’s twin sister, Monali (also Basu), which slows things in the middle going. (“Dhoom” literally means “Bang.”) Roshan’s muscular dancing quickly establishes him as the movie’s main attraction, more than equal to the experienced Rai, who’s rather miscast here as the wisecracking thief with a secret to hide. Pretitle Namibian sequence is poorly staged, but pic quickly finds its footing with a powerhouse opening number (choreographed by Shiamak Davar) that pounds out the title track. Scene shifts to Rio de Janeiro, where all the leads play an elaborate game of bluff and double-cross as Aryan attempts a heist during Carnival. However, the superthief slips through the cops’ noose.Įnter, at the hour mark, lissome cat burglar Sunehri (Aishwarya Rai), who convinces Aryan the two of them would make an unbeatable pair. After Aryan’s daring heist of a crown jewel on a train in the Namibian desert, Jai, joined by sexy cop Shonali Bose (Bipasha Basu), works out that Aryan’s next job will be in Mumbai. Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra reprise their roles as sloe-eyed supercop Jai Dixit and fumbling sidekick Ali Akbar, here on the trail of master of disguise Aryan (Hrithik Roshan), who specializes in impossible thefts of rare artifacts.
