Yashraj Films is back in form with yet another exciting film after the hit flick 'Hum Tum'. This time it is treating audiences to Dhoom, a fast paced, in-your-face youthful film.

The tale begins in Mumbai where a sophisticated gang of robbers is sweeping through the city, giving nightmares to the police department. Their modus operandi is modeled on a twister. They come like wind, sweep the place and disappear even before the word 'chor chor' escapes the location.

The high point of these robberies is always the getaway of the robbers on their hi-tech bikes - the slickest, meanest and the fastest riding machines on the road.

Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan), an honest police officer is brought in on the case. Soon he is on the trail of the robbers - a gang headed by Kabir (John Abraham) - an evil perfectionist with an attitude.

Jai Dixit is happily married to Sweety (Rimii Sen). True to her name, Sweety is Bengali girl. A veterinarian by profession, she lives in blissful ignorance of the dangerous life that her husband leads. Esha Deol is Sheena, a beautiful, alluring yet mysterious to all.

At times, she is the damsel in distress, other times she turns into a confident, head strong, independent woman who will not tolerate anything frivolous. Trying to gauge her emotions is like chasing a rainbow... futile.

Kabir and his gang transform into inconspicuous pizza delivery boys after their unholy missions are accomplished. So brilliant is their metamorphosis that no one suspects them of being the same wicked robbers who don their helmets and commit these daring robberies in blissful anonymity.

Initially daunted by the speed and mannerisms of the gang, Jai ropes in the services of Ali (Uday Chopra), a happy-go-lucky garage mechanic and a prodigious bike rider.

Ali is very different to Jai - where Jai is serious, Ali is flippant, casual. The two don't get along and Jai hates him at first, but he soon realizes that the clown can ride bikes like the wind and decides to team up with him to try and bring the robbers to justice.

Ali, the reluctant recruit and Jai stakeout the thieves and set up an ambush. But, Kabir soon catches up on Jai-Ali's teaming up and his arrogance pushes him to take up the challenge openly.

From the mean streets of Mumbai, the chase shifts to the sun kissed beaches of Goa. And so starts the hunt... where sometimes the hunter becomes the hunted. But all attempts to pin them down get thwarted, as the gang keeps slipping away from their grasp.

Could it be that no one can catch them?

Produced by Aditya Chopra, Dhoom is directed by Sanjay Gadhavi, who has also directed 'Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai'.
