**************************************** Dhoom (Hindi: धूम, Urdu: دھوم) is the first installment in the Dhoom series. It is a Bollywood film, produced by Yash Raj Films Aditya Chopra (son of Yash Chopra) and released in 2004. Earning over Rs. 55 crore ($12 million USD), the film became one of the biggest hits of 2004. This was the first action film made by Yash Raj Films in 19 years, since Vijay (1988), and brought in a new genre of movies akin to the fast paced motorcycle-robbery dramas. Its sequel, Dhoom 2, was released in 2006 in India.
**************************************** Cast:
Abhishek Bachchan as ACP Jai Dixit
John Abraham as Kabir
Uday Chopra as Ali
Esha Deol as Sheena
Rimi Sen as Sweety Dixit
Manoj Joshi as Jai's Assistant
**************************************** Soundtrack:
The title track, "Dhoom Dhoom", was released in a remixed version song by the Thai-American singer Tata Young. The song and its music video featuring Tata Young proved to be a major hit in India during 2004 & 2005. The original song was sung by Sunidhi Chauhan. Other tracks on the soundtrack included Dilbara, Shikdum, and Salaame; the music director was Pritam, full name Pritam Chakraborty.
***************************************** Synopsis:
The story starts in the streets of Mumbai, where a gang of high-speed motorcyclists (riding heavy-bikes like the Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa) starts breaking into banks and other public places and disappearing.
ACP Jai Dixit, (Abhishek Bachchan) a no nonsense cop, is called on the case. He is married to Sweety (Rimi Sen). Jai seeks the help of a scatterbrained, clownish downtown racer named Ali (Uday Chopra) and devises a trap to catch the thieves, but fails. Kabir, (John Abraham) the leader of the gang, eventually taunts Dixit by saying that he couldn't catch Kabir even if he were right in front of him. He is proved correct and the failure of Dixit seemingly leads to the breakup of his partnership with Ali.
Kabir then lures Ali into his gang to replace Rohit, the gang member who was killed by Jai. Ali falls in love with Sheena (Esha Deol), another gang member. The gang later goes to faridabad to perform one last big heist before disbanding forever. Kabir now sets his eyes on the biggest casino in all of India. Kabir and his gang swiftly rob the casino on New Year's Eve, but soon, they realize that Jai has planned them right into a trap. Ali was working for Jai the whole time and the fight stages.
Kabir manages to escape from Jai, and goes back to the gang's truck where Ali tied up Sheena. Kabir then viciously beats up Ali for his betrayal. Kabir holds Ali at gunpoint, and is about to shoot at him when he suddenly a mysterious shot comes and hits Kabir on the hand. The gang minus Sheena then boards the truck, while Jai and Ali follow. A fight ensues between Kabir and Jai on top of the truck, while Ali fights the other gang members Rahul and Tony inside and fights his way into the driver's seat. Kabir tries to escape by his bike. He is then cornered by Jai and Ali with nowhere to go. Kabir decides to commit suicide instead of going to jail, and rides his bike over the edge of the cliff and into the water. The movie ends with Jai and Ali bickering over Ali's induction into the police force.
***************************************** Crime inspired by Dhoom:
The movie had a significant cultural impact among urban Indian youth. It was blamed for an increase in incidents of street racing; bike-borne theft & stunting on public roads. Besides, there was a new impetus to the bike-modifying scene with youth going in for modifications to their bikes ranging from free flow exhaust systems to addition of NOS kits. These in turn, gave rise to incidents of speeding & breakage of traffic rules on the already unruly Indian streets. Such kind of robbery increased in cities where people after taking their money from ATM or from banks were robbed at gunpoint and the robbers escaping on bikes.
