Dhoom 2 aka Doom 2

Its a movie that has so many flaws, that you start to believe that it is an amateurish movie, of course until you have a closer look at the cast. (And yes, read this list after you've watched the movie - if you're sure of watching the movie, that is).

1. The thief never gets shot while he is being dragged by the train, and the security officer is taking shots at him.

2. The thief is being dragged by this train, and suddenly he jumps back on top of the train, hitting the security officer.

3. If the thief was trying to write an "A" across the world by the locations of his heists, why on earth was he going back to Junagarh after Mumbai?

4. What sewer lid was that got corroded within seconds? (Cast Iron lids don't corrode) And why did none of the police officers try to follow him? And how did he fly out of a sewer lid on he road a few seconds later? Did he get sufficient time to change his dress? Is he doing a Krrish again here?

5. Was the security blind that they could not see a 4"x6" Remote Controlled car moving right under their feet? Or were they all looking at the ceiling? And even when the RC dished out a 2' long arm to pick up the diamond (who keeps a diamond without enclosures anyway?). And how come the blind securitywallas didn't notice someone looking alternately at the controller and the car repeatedly?

6. How come the sharpshooter policewoman who had been tracking this thief for 2 years suddenly disappear from the movie when push came to shove?

7. How did the Snowhite's dwarfs reduce their height by a full 2 feet?

8. How did the thief fall hundreds of feet into water when "shot" repeatedly by his accomplice and survive?

To be fair, Hrithik Roshan brings good acting and some good stunts to the table. Abhishek Bachchan looks grumpy throughout the movie. Bipasha makes a quick entry and then fades away just as fast. Aditya Chopra is in the movie to provide an occassional laugh, and he does his job fairly.

If you don't mind the glaring technical flaws, well, you may just try your luck in the Cinema. You may just like it.

Else just stay way from it.
