To heist film enthusiasts, Dhoom: 2 is anything but a yawn. Trivia hunters could have a field day listing the films that have 'inspired' over a dozen scenes in the new film. Look out for the scenes in which the master thief appears in several disguises, and see if you can recognise the Hollywood inspirations.
Among the weakest scenes in the film are the ones set in Brazil in which Mumbai police officer Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan) and sidekick Ali try to foil a daring heist by the master thief (Hrithik) simply known as A. It is strange indeed that there is no Brazilian police officer in sight as Jai and Ali go after him and his moll Sunehri (Ash). You seldom get to sense what Rio is like.
The first half of the film, which follows a train robbery in Africa by the mysterious A, has several plot developments that are, charitably put, half-baked.
