I recommend this article be deleted, till the movie releases, or atleast till its advertisements start appearing in the media. As such this article is nothing more than speculation. I am new here, so I'm really not aware of the procedure of deleting pages. Also, if Wikipedia does not mind articles on future films being posted, I'd still atleast recommend this article be extensively edited. I'd do it myself, but frankly, this being my first post, I'm scared! --Bluerain 13:02, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
"Another sequel may be produced if this film becomes a success." --What? How is this trivia? If it really belongs here, then this should be in the trivia section of every movie ever made.
Alright, I cut off quite some stuff, and cleaned up the article. About the 'Rumoured Plot', I really don't know where that came from, so I've left it on from the last edit with some minor changes. --Bluerain 13:42, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV
You can't write things like "very stylish I must admit" in Wikipedia. This is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not someone's diary.
[edit] Semi-protected
This page has been semi-protected due to large amounts of vandalism and uncited additions by anonymous users. Protection is not meant to be a permanent solution, however. It's only meant to be used for a short period of time. Either myself or any other admin can remove the protection from the article on request or when it seems likely the vandalism has died down a bit. Please note that I am not monitoring this article. --Yamla 18:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] This is not advertising
Somebody posted on the page that dhoom 2 info looks like advertising. this page is sam as any upcoming moviepages like spider man 3 or anything else. All the info is informatice but not advertising.
[edit] Rumored plot
Why was this section removed? Fire 02:20, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
I've removed this sentence: "Shahrukh Khan is rumored to be the villian in Dhoom 3" because the article specifically says that there is not going to be a Dhoom 3. In other words, this is an unsubstantiated rumour about an unsubstantiated rumour. If someone has a citation or an impartial third-party source to back up both rumours, by all means put it back.

[edit] Removal of Music Review
Yamla the music review link was removed from the talk page and I know it looks like it was for advertising but I thought it provided more value than other external links on the page( for example more pictures/more trailer type links). Is there another way to post it so that it doesn't look like spam or advertising? I have no problems posting the entire article here, but then I didn't think that was the right way to do it.....Please advise I am a newbie...
[edit] Story
I don't think we should have the story of the movie in this article. It's a newly released movie, having a story section may ruin the movie for those who are yet to watch it. Atleast a spoiler warning should be placed, i feel.
[edit] Budget
The budget of the film is no where near 150 crore Irs around 40-55 cr. Plz verify —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.177.165.85 (talk • contribs) 06:01, 3 December 2006 (UTC).
CHARACTERS
JAI DIXIT (ABHISHEK BACHCHAN)
In a world ridden with crime and criminals, the need of the hour is a law enforcement officer who can bring things to order. A tough yet sharp Super Cop.
ACP Jai Dixit is all this and more. A Super Cop with a mission... to put an end to crime. As always he believes that it is his job to eliminate crime, not the criminal. A no-nonsense police officer, he fights his battle against all odds and leads from the front.
His newest assignment - Mr. “A” - an international thief. How do you catch a thief who leaves behind no clues... who no one has ever seen.
Jai Dixit has a plan. He rises up to the challenge and is soon on the trail of the Master Thief.
But is it that he has met his match this time?
SUNEHRI (AISHWARYA RAI)
Sunehri, the “golden girl” treats every opportunity as a golden chance. She stays in the suburbs of Mumbai, but dreams big. She dreams of Amsterdam, of Australia… even America.
Spunky, spontaneous and sexy, Sunehri lives life one day at a time. The danger or repercussion of anything never occurs to her sharp yet innocent mind. And that is probably because nothing really bad has ever happened to her. But the most significant event that does occur is when Aryan comes into her life.
From that moment her life takes a new turn; actually a couple of turns. The resulting 'spin' takes her on a ride she won't forget in a hurry.
SHONALI BOSE (BIPASHA BASU)
She is attractive, intelligent, vivacious, honest, sexy, hardworking, beautiful and an awesome dancer.
All these qualities not being any kind of pre-requisite, she is a police officer. ACP Shonali Bose is a cop and a damn good one.
Like her college mate Jai Dixit, she too works in great detail to get into the mind of the criminal. And that's what she has done for the last two years. She is an expert on Mr. “A”.
Having won many medals for being the best sharpshooter in the force, it can be said that she never misses her target. The only difference between her and Jai is that she wouldn't think twice before shooting down a criminal.
Nothing personal… it's just what she believes - one criminal dead is one criminal less!
ARYAN (HRITHIK ROSHAN)
He works alone!
He trusts no one!
No one has seen him!
He pulls off the most daring and impossible heists. He comes out of nowhere and disappears without a trace. Police all around the world are baffled. His methods are innovative and modern. His planning, flawless.
He's cool, he's hot. He's smooth yet tough. With looks that could make any woman go weak in the knees, there is finesse in everything he does. A connoisseur, he has style and a fine taste for all the things in life; be it food, wine or clothes.
As Jai Dixit says at one point… He's the perfect thief!
He is Aryan. He is the elusive Mr. “A”!
But it is said that all criminals make at least one mistake.
Does Aryan slip up? Does he make that one fatal error?
ALI (UDAY CHOPRA)
His “Mummy” is definitely watching over him as his guardian angel. But Ali still doesn't take his life too seriously.
Although, he is now a police officer and Jai Dixit's partner, the equation between them is still the same. He still loves riding his bike. He still falls in love with every single woman he meets! And he still gets regularly reprimanded by Jai Dixit.
He still has his yellow bike and still feels very much at home in Jai's house. He still believes that life is simple and that it is we who complicate it.
He still has a big heart and a smile that is even bigger.
And it is still true that he and Jai make a great team. He is fiercely loyal to Jai and if push comes to shove, he will go to any extent to fight for him.
And he's still funny… actually… funnier!
SYNOPSIS
The world's oldest desert, the Namib…
A solitary railway line…
A royal family on a royal journey…
From the sky, like lightning… a FLASH!
The centuries old Royal Crown is stolen!
BACK IN ACTION... DHOOM:2 reinvents the action comedy genre and propels it into the 21st century.
Ali's (Uday Chopra) dream of becoming a police officer has come true. He is now ACP Jai Dixit's (Abhishek Bachchan) 'right hand man'. Together, they are trying to keep a tight leash on the crime in India. Little do they know what they are going to be up against.
Enter Aryan - Mr. A (Hrithik Roshan) - A hi-tech international thief. After pulling off a series of impossible heists all over the world, his next target is Mumbai, India. The case is given to ACP Jai and Ali. Helping them put the pieces of the puzzle together is ACP Shonali Bose (Bipasha Basu), Jai's college mate, now a police officer in her own right. For the last two years Shonali has been tracking these amazing thefts and is now an expert on this thief, who no one has seen.
Once in Mumbai, Mr. A finds his match in Sunehri (Aishwarya Rai), a petty yet clever thief. She makes him an offer he finds very hard to refuse. A partnership! Aryan accepts.
And so the game begins - a game of cat and mouse - a game of good v/s bad.
The “COPS” - Jai, Shonali and Ali; and they are after Aryan and Sunehri - “The ROBBERS”.
From the desert of Namibia to the backwaters of Goa, the mean streets of Mumbai and the ancient forts of Rajasthan, and finally to “Wild n Exotic” Rio, Brazil.
Does ACP Jai Dixit manage to nab Mr. A? Or does Mr. A prove to be too much for him?

[edit] Ruthless trimming
I removed the most contestable trivia (and left fact tags on the rest). I boiled the synopsis down to one para, removing advertising language, amateur poetry, etc. Zora 17:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you. You have much improved the article. --Yamla 17:42, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Synopsis
It is not kind to readers to post synopses that consist of long paragraph-less recountings of every single twist and turn of the plot. All that does is prove that the writer saw the movie. It's boring, it's impossible to READ, and in the case of a recent movie, it's unkind to people who haven't seen the movie yet. The spoiler warning is useless when everything is on the same page -- you see it whether you consciously choose to do so or not. If you don't like the current synopsis, expand it to two short paras and try to be concise and readable. Zora 18:43, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DVD Audio, a first?!
Hi. Jus came across this article and saw the referenced link which says that the release of the audio in DVD format is an industry first. However, in the article, it is noted that this was done for the first time in India. I do not need any referenced sources, however I know that this is not the first time that an Indian film's soundtrack is being released in the DVD Audio (5.1) format. The first Indian film to do so is the 2004 Tamil (Kollywood) film, directed by Shankar and music directed by A. R. Rahman, Boys. I know this to be an incontestable fact since I myself have seen the DVD soundtrack in stores (Planet M, Landmark, even in Hyderabad). However, since Wikipedia's verifiability guidelines state that it is not truth, but verifiable, published content which is to be referenced in articles, I dunno what to do. If anyone could find the required references and make the appropriate changes, it'd be good. Thanks! aJCfreak yAkBaK 10:00, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Clips of songs
I've just deleted a link to a site which apparently has posted clips from the movie of all the songs. I looked through the site but cannot find any reference to it being official, which makes me strongly think that the site is violating copyright (and thus Wikipedia should not be linking to it). If this site is somehow official then please indicate that and perhaps provide some justification for this link. Accounting4Taste 17:37, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

- I've just deleted a link to a site that has posted lyrics of all the songs from the movie. I said in my edit summary that it was a pop-up farm, but I have to take that back -- it's just a fansite. However, the posting of the lyrics is a total copyright violation AFAIK, so I believe the removal is justified. Accounting4Taste 16:40, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Box Office Disaster
Someone wrote the following:
"The film lacked appropriate screenplay and logical flow of the plot. As a result this movie was a complete disaster at the box office and failed to keep the charisma of the original John Abraham starrer Dhoom which was a super-hit."
This is clearly untrue, as the film is known to have done very well in India, and is on the list of the highest grossing Bollywood films and that the original Dhoom was not a super-hit. Trinindian83 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 04:37, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
