What happens
Dhoom (transl. Blast) is a 2004 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Sanjay Gadhvi and produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. The story was written by Chopra with a screenplay by Vijay Krishna Acharya. The film stars Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Uday Chopra, Esha and Rimi Sen. Set in contemporary Mumbai, the narrative follows a gang of motorbike-riding robbers led by Kabir, and the efforts of police officer Jai Dixit and motorcycle dealer Ali Akbar Fateh Khan to capture them. Dhoom received mixed reviews from critics. While its performances, action choreography, and music were praised, its storyline drew criticism and was unfavorably compared to Hollywood action franchises such as The Fast and the Furious, Ocean's, and Death Race. Despite this, the film emerged as a commercial success, grossing over ₹290 million (US$3.4 million) in India, making it the third highest-grossing Indian film of the year. At the 50th Filmfare Awards, Dhoom received six nominations, including Best Film, Best Performance in a Negative Role (Abraham) and Best Music Director (Pritam), and won two awards: Best Editing and Best Sound Design. The success of Dhoom launched a film franchise, with sequels Dhoom 2 (2006) and Dhoom 3 (2013), both of which featured Bachchan and Chopra reprising their roles. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
