not all teens do that....Teens can be smart,not all use the teen lingo,and act like wannabies😃
First and foremost,no one expected this to be a pathbreaking cinema,all that is expected of Dhoom are some adrenalin pumping moments,great action sequences,and if you go expecting for all this,you wouldnt be disappointed...Even the makers didnt project it as any revolutionary movie...We cant expect a RDB or a Munnabhai from every producer😛..Especially not from Yashraj,who have now mastered the art of making illogical,cliched,ludicrous and run of the mill movies which enjoy a good run at the Box-office as it caters to the ideologies of the masses and a niche audience....Dhoom didnt have a script,but who was looking forward to the "story" to begin with😆,people went to watch the stunts,the women,hrithik etc...Flipsides galore,infact the entire movie was sort of illogical and implausible😆🤢......How could hrithik disguise position himself amidst those statues,where that place has 24/7 surveillance,how could the statue move away and then disguise as a cleaner all in say 10 minutes' time(When JAi realizes that A wouldnt come to steal the necklace as its flawed,Aryan was still not done with moving the gadget out of the vicinity of the police scrutiny...Then Jai leaves pronto for the meseum,instructing Uday to be there to nab the thief...That would have taken JAi just 10 mins max,but by then ARyan had moved out of wall , put on another masquerade and was ready to leave...IMPLAUSIBLE!!)...aplenty such loopholes😆
1)The movie seemed to be compartmentalized....the first part was full on action and slickness,and the post interval part was made to be a typical insipid romantic masala film(Redeemed thankfully by Hrithik's screen presence ....It would have been much better had they spaced it out well 😕
2Hrithik-Ash love didnt burgeon in the most convincing way..Just a few scenes,and BINGO,they are in love 😕 ..Perhaps Aryan could have shown to take more time,more scenes
3)Bipasha's character was half baked...It seemed as though she was shoved into the script for the skin show and the bikini gimmick in Brazil 😕 ...She definitely looked hotter than Ash,but her Monali act was excruciating,and the Monali Ali liaison was insufferable 🤢
4)Aryan's character loses focus midway,He becomes this love crazed man,which I felt was a tad odd 😕
The high has worn off,when I think about the movie now,My heart goes out to ABhishek😭🤗...The director said that on paper,Hrithik's role was 55%,and the remaining 45% was to be shared by Bips,uday and Abhi,thus implying 15% for each of these😭...Uday and Bips atleast had an additional song,Abhi was given a raw deal....I admire him for taking this movie up,because very few actors are secure enough to allow their contemporary to bite into the author backed role,with themselves receeding to the background and being reduced to a mere sidekick!!...So I applaud his sense of security,but a big 👎🏼 for being the most non-chalent about his looks,that too when he shares the screen with someone as meticulous as Hrithik...Abhi could have atleast had a shave😡....I guess he took it too lightly, which is a crime,as it just shows his lack of intrest...his acting was just mediocre,and he sulked in most of the scenes,and there was a strong feeling of deja vu,especially as he has played this brooding police officer in many movies(Zameen,Dhoom 1,Dus etc)... Lack of screen time, half baked characterization with zilch novelty,bad clothes and a messy beard surely diminished his star value!!..He's got to pull up his socks and get into shape ASAP!!
