Dhoom 2 - Indian movie

Some may be wondering why I put my msn status message as Dhoom 2 is better than Doom, here it is, dhoom2 is an indian bollywood movie. Personally I find it Doom the movie is really boring, lack of story line and .. the last part of First person shooting scene is not really creative. Yet Dhoom2 is more comedic and has "spoof" or "copy" many other internation movie like MI2,Angelina Jet ski scene and so on. More exploding and stuff.


You might think that a non-indian like me go and watch an indian movie. Actually I accidentally find it on
www.tom365.com. I don't know why in chinese the movie is named as 幻影车神. Means illusionary God of racer(car) nothing related to the movie at all. If you want the whole synopsis or more about this movie you can check out wikipedia link at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhoom_2. You can know the actor also. More or less today I might just want to post some screen shots about this movie.

Let's take a look at the first shot:

The film started with an old woman (the queen) and 2 kids playing with her crown. So that crown will be stolen by Mr. A when he is disguising as queen.



Next scene, you see how Mr. A fights on the train with some slow motion scene doing some matrix style there. It is quite entertaining and also sometimes illogical because he can block all the bullet using some skateboard. He didnt dodge anything like matrix. But the action scene is good.




This is another sub character (police) that flies out of no where with a motorcycle in order to pass on some fake drugs. He is a mole. But get busted right away




See the way he flies with his motorcycle is pretty cool, I am not sure in real life how you can ride a bike until this way. Is simply amazing!


Another shot on how he is going to land on the ship with his flying motorcycle trick. Is really comedic, but worth watching. I mean the editing is quite good.




Here, the inspector is coming out from water with his "submarine" jet ski. I am not sure how long he is submerging in the water with this jet ski. May be the jet ski is pretty much modded.




While flying over the ship, he can start shooting those drug lords, is perfect shots. NO MISS!






And Finally when they get bored killing all the enemies, they only started to blow up the sampan. I still don't understand why the sampan carries oil barrel. You know it just sounds like DOOM the game when you have alot of barrel near enemies so that you can blow it up and create massacre. Really like E1M7 Barrel-O-FUN. But lucky they never fight baron of hell.





After some shooting scene and funny chat, again Mr. A went for another thievery act and here the hero and heroine met. Pretty isn't she?


This is another close shot when Mr. A and Sunheri is playing basket ball. Quite a classical screen play.



Here is the scene where Mr. A knows Sunheri is betraying him and helping the police to track him down and gather information about his next action plan.




This is the scene I always promote to my friend. Another Mission Impossible ride. In this scene basically they use the motorcycle front to block the incoming bullet, I am not sure why Mr. A can't shoot his leg but focus fire on the front motor. May be is highly magnetized.





Here you see both of the police officer are doing the MI2 stunt, May be one day John Woo and Tom Cruise should do this.
So that's all for now. Overall is quite an entertaining movie, the ending is also quite classic. Good action and good comedic scene, and also good "spoof" may be. Well is still better than D...oom.
The theme song is Dhoom again, in the chorus you will hear DHOOM ma Ca leh, where by I can't understand it LOL! If you like indian movie, I think is really worth watching, since years I have not been watching indian movie because it always has standard stuff like fighting, dancing and singing. This movie has dancing and singing too, but it is more closely related and creative than older indian movie I have seen so far. Not sure about Dhoom1. But I think will be good movie though. Consider a Bollywood film I give 6.5/10 for this movie.
