i saw dhoom 2 and baabul today back to back on the imax screen the sound was in dts and i also think baabul was to, i found the movie ok, i thought that there would be more action, and i found the crazy kia re song was just the most forced song sequence in the movie, it was just a few seconds ago hrithik and ash were talking and out of no where they were in a club singing and dancing, i only liked the dhoom again song the rest suked, the sound was awsome and so was the pq, only thing i really didnt like was that there were movie previews for 30min for just about every movie thats comming up like salaam-e-ishq, that english one with sushmita sen in it, and many others, plus i wouldnt have expected ads for indian channels like for zee/sony/star plus/ etc... but i did find at times that the movie was boring, but the bikini scene made up for that!
btw, rana and who ever saw d2 was the action sounds and stuff louder then what the actors were saying? because in baabul it was more stable then d2

Caught Dhoom 2, ofcourse, crappy sound as theater changed last minute to bad screen

Imho, most sleek, action film made in India so far, better than Don 2.

Hrithik, gave earnest performance!

Abhishek, barely survived!

Aish, looked body good, but I wish if I could take her 10 years back to match Bips!

Bipasha for whatever reason was there did add some spice to screen!!

Loud uday was a bit bearable in second half!

If you are Hrithik, Aish fan..must watch.

Hollywood style, sleek, popcorn thrill, give it a chance!

Ever since I saw the film I have been trying to figure out what Hollywood film Dhoom 2 was copied/inspired from and last night it finally struck me. Anyone remember 'Entrapment', with Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones?
'Crazy Kiya Re', or should I say 'Copy Kiya Re'.

Here's something from Forbes magazine http://www.forbes.com/business/2006/12/ ... ywood.html :

Quote from http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Boll ... 911834.cms :

First of all, I think it says something about your mentality that, ever since you saw the film, you were trying to see "where it was copied from." Second, I've also seen Entrapment, and Dhoom 2 was hardly a copy; hell, I couldn't even go so far as to say that was an "inspired by." As far as "these types of films" (i.e., mind-less action-entertainers) are concerned, Dhoom 2 was as original as it could have been and had to be. Even Dhoom — though undeniably "inspired by" The Fast and the Furious — had an identity its own; and, not only do I feel it managed to distinguish itself from its "source," I feel it out-did it, as well.

a lot of them lol I can remind a lot of them from where sequences has been lifted! but it is not issue here, most of bollywood films r copied.

Russian roullet scene, JB scenes, Catch me if you can and many many more, even my little son could come up with a few inspirational ventures!

I would rate it 6/10

As far as his recent track record is concerned, Aditya Chopra has implanted a Hollywood wannabe, Multiplex attraction stylization to all of his production. His vision for Yashraj Films is a cheap imitation of something already derogatory in itself. Had it not been for the latter, I wonder what this wizkid (HARDLY!) would have looked towards than/or now?

I'd rather ignore your comments about my 'mentality', as you put it, since getting into mud slinging on the forums is not really my thing. Anyhow, just for you and any others like yourself who may have had trouble comprehending what I said earlier, let me spell out what exactly I mean't to say in my prior post. Sometimes you watch something and can't help but find it to be very familiar. But just can't put your finger on it and thus you keep wondering where you may have seen it before. Well, that is exactly how and why I had been trying to figure out why several aspects of 'Dhoom 2' seemed so familiar. Believe me there were no 'sinister' motives behind this.

All right, and, despite my comments, I don't wish to "mud-sling," either. Forgive me, but I'm sick of people pissing all over Indian cinema, pointing fingers, hollering "copy-cat" at every instance. I, too, agree that it's disheartening (and vexing) to see some films blatantly plagiarize, and then have the gall to turn around and say, "we're not the only ones who do it; we're bringing something new to our cinema — so, what?" That said, I'm equally pissed by critiques', and so-called "film aficionados'" (read, most of the population of IMDB.com, and such), attempting to cite plagiarism where there is none. Adopting techniques and finding inspiration in the inspirational does not, in my opinion, warrant deprecation. Using camera techniques, sound-editing styles, "feels" (as it were) that have been used in Western cinema, does not indicate "copy-cat" behavior in Indian cinema. Yes, taking entire scenes and placing them in your film (as was done in Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani, for instance), just because "they looked cool in the original," I feel, is just idiotic. In Dhoom 2, yes, I saw "techniques" that have been used in Hollywood, but I didn't see much of anything that made me roll my eyes and exclaim, "oh, yeah, brilliant; and so much so than it was when I saw it five years ago in so-and-so American film." Speaking just of Entrapment, I didn't see any glaring similarities between it and Dhoom 2. It's possible, yes, that I just missed what you saw (it's been some time since I watched the former on DVD), but, I feel I recall it well enough to have said what I just did.

Nevertheless, though, sorry to have maybe attacked you for opening your mouth (... for exercising your typing-hand).

Clear as day Sanjay, no confusion , I’m sure, to most here.
One of the nicest things to do is to speculate movie similarities to other films.
I watched Fanaa and thought if it is comparable to ‘Sleeping With the Enemy.’ That said, i made a comment earlier about disliking Kareena’s fat face and got hit with a mile long mud sling to no end. Ya, logical forum debates are fun.

stumbled across film-tech.com wow this is what a film review site should be cos it has real film reviewers not paid off puppets like we see at so many sites who write on basis of paid commission from film producers. Their critiques are not sappy sugar coated or video bots sales people who have interest only to spam up a thread with countless copied n paste articles just to make a quota of posts through which to profit their own pockets. I highly recommend Film-Tech for quality of opinions offered without phony bogus hype.
