===Depiction of Kolkata===
In many Mrinal Sen movies from ''Punascha'' (1961) to ''Mahaprithivi'' (1992), Kolkata features prominently. He has shown Kolkata as a character, and as an inspiration. He has beautifully woven the people, value system, class difference and the roads of the city into his movies and coming of age for Kolkata, his El-Dorado.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mrinal Sen movies and Kolkata|url=http://www.gomolo.in/features/article.aspx?ArticleID=249|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100116065658/http://www.gomolo.in/features/article.aspx?ArticleID=249|archive-date=16 January 2010}}</ref>

'''Mrinal Sen''' (also spelled ''Mrinal Shen''; 14 May 1923 – 30 December 2018) was an Indian [[film director]] and a nominated Member of the Indian parliament. Sen directed films primarily in [[Bengali language|Bengali]] and [[Hindi]]. Along with his contemporaries [[Ritwik Ghatak]], [[Tapan Sinha]] and [[Satyajit Ray]] he pioneered the New Wave cinema in India. He has received multiple awards, including 18 [[National Film Awards]]. The Government of India has awarded him the [[Padma Bhushan]], and the Government of France has awarded him the [[Ordre des Arts et des Lettres]], while Russian Government awarded him [[Order of Friendship]]. Sen was also awarded the [[Dadasaheb Phalke Award]]. He was the only Indian filmmaker along with [[Satyajit Ray]] whose films have been awarded at the big three film festivals namely the [[Cannes film festival]], [[Venice Film Festival]] and the [[Berlin Film Festival]].<ref name=rediff>{{cite web |url=http://us.rediff.com/movies/2005/feb/02mrinal.htm |title= Memories from Mrinalda|date=1 February 2005 |work=Rediff |publisher= Rediff.com|access-date=27 January 2010}}</ref><ref>http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/artist/mrinal-sen ''Cannes.''</ref> Sen was a self described "private [[Marxist]]".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.thestatesman.com/entertainment/mrinal-sen-accidental-filmmaker-1502720904.html#:~:text=While%20studying%20in%20college%2C%20Mrinal,called%20himself%20a%20'private%20Marxist'&text=Mrinal%20Sen%20has%20often%20been%20called%20the%20%E2%80%9Caccidental%20filmmaker%E2%80%9D. |title=Mrinal Sen — the 'accidental filmmaker'|author=Tuhina Mondol |date=31 December 2018|work=[[The Statesman (India)|The Statesman]] |access-date=27 January 2020}}</ref>
==Influence==
After making five more films, he made a film with a shoestring budget provided by the [[Government of India]]. This film, ''[[Bhuvan Shome]]'' (''Mr. Shome'', 1969), finally launched him as a major filmmaker, both nationally and internationally. ''Bhuvan Shome'' also initiated the "New Cinema" film movement in India.<ref name=newcinema>{{cite book |title= The New Indian Cinema |last= Vasudev|first= Aruna|year= 1986|publisher=Macmillan India |isbn=0-333-90928-3 }}</ref>
===Social context and its political influence===
The films that he made next were essentially political, and earned him the reputation as a [[Marxist]] artist.<ref name=thorval>{{cite book |title= Cinemas of India|last=Thorval |first= Yves|year=2000 |publisher=Macmillan India|isbn= 0-333-93410-5|pages= 280–282}}</ref> This was also the time of large-scale political unrest throughout [[India]]. Particularly in and around Calcutta, this period underwent what is now known as the [[Naxalite]] movement. This phase was immediately followed by a series of films where he shifted his focus, and instead of looking for enemies outside, he looked for the enemy within his own [[middle class]] society. This was arguably his most creative phase.
===Depiction of Kolkata===
In many Mrinal Sen movies from ''Punascha'' (1961) to ''Mahaprithivi'' (1992), Kolkata features prominently. He has shown Kolkata as a character, and as an inspiration. He has beautifully woven the people, value system, class difference and the roads of the city into his movies and coming of age for Kolkata, his El-Dorado.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mrinal Sen movies and Kolkata|url=http://www.gomolo.in/features/article.aspx?ArticleID=249|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100116065658/http://www.gomolo.in/features/article.aspx?ArticleID=249|archive-date=16 January 2010}}</ref>

It tells the story of a cat & mouse game between a motorbike gang which commits robberies throughout Mumbai and a Mumbai police officer who teams up with a motorbike dealer to stop them.

==Plot==
The story starts in the city of [[Mumbai]], where a motorbike gang (a gang of robbers on hi-tech motorbikes, led by charismatic Kabir, is sweeping through Mumbai, outwitting the police at every turn) starts breaking into banks and other public places and vanishes onto the [[Western Express Highway]].

[[Assistant commissioner of police (India)|Assistant Commissioner of Police]] Jai Dixit ([[Abhishek Bachchan]]), a no-nonsense cop, is called onto the case. Dixit seeks the help of a local bike dealer/racer named Ali Akbar Fateh Khan ([[Uday Chopra]]) and devises a trap to catch the gang, but it fails. Kabir ([[John Abraham]]), the leader of the gang, eventually taunts Dixit, claiming that Dixit can't catch him even if he is right in front of him. He is proven correct, and Dixit's failure apparently causes him to part ways with Ali.

Kabir then lures Ali into his gang as a substitute for Rohit, the gang member who was killed by Dixit. Ali falls in love with Sheena ([[Esha Deol]]), another gang member. The gang later goes to [[Goa]] to perform one last big heist before disbanding forever. Kabir sets his eyes on the largest casino in all of India. Kabir and his gang swiftly loot the casino on [[New Year's Eve]], but they soon realize that Dixit has led them right into a trap. It is revealed that Ali was working for Dixit the whole time, and a fight ensues.

Kabir manages to escape from Dixit and goes back to the gang's truck, where Ali has kept Sheena bound and gagged. Kabir then viciously beats up Ali for his betrayal, but Ali is saved by Dixit's timely arrival at the scene. The gang flees, except for Sheena, while Dixit and Ali give chase to Kabir. They kill all the other gang members except Kabir, who tries to escape on his bike. He is cornered by Dixit and Ali with nowhere to go. Kabir decides to take his own life rather than let Dixit arrest him, and he rides his bike over the edge of a cliff into the water to his death. The film ends with Dixit and Ali arguing with each other, albeit in a friendly way.

Aditya Chopra initially had car chases in mind instead of bikes, but Sanjay Gadhvi convinced him otherwise as the rider's faces can be seen, and he had a craze for bikes in his youth.<ref>{{cite web|last=Ashraf|first=Syed Firdaus|title='People will love Dhoom!'|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/2004/aug/26gadhvi.htm|work=[[Rediff.com]]|access-date=22 August 2020|date=26 August 2004}}</ref>

===Critical response===
Rajesh Karkera of ''[[Rediff.com]]'' said that "''Dhoom'' does have a few loopholes but the film's fast-paced energy is more than enough to ensure your eyes don't stir from the screen for two-and-a-half hours", on the performance side, Chopra "steals the show", Bachchan is "impressive as the cool and confident cop. John Abraham stalks though his role with ease. Esha Deol and Rimi Sen only need to look beautiful in their limited presence in this sweat 'n' leather flick".<ref>https://www.rediff.com/movies/2004/aug/27dhoom.htm ''Rediff.''</ref> Chitra Mahesh from ''[[The Hindu]]'' said that the film takes the genre of ''[[The Fast and the Furious (2001 film)|The Fast and the Furious]]'', ''[[Ocean's Eleven]]'' and similar others, and wrote that "the actions scenes are extremely well done with zooms and pacy editing, while the music is more raucous than melodious". Appreciating the acting, she said, "Chopra is delightful. Abhishek as Jai does his role with style and grit and is proving to be a wonderful actor. John Abraham looks terrific and suits the role of the mean but savvy thief".<ref>{{cite news|last=Mahesh|first=Chitra|title="Dhoom"|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-fridayreview/dhoom/article28577041.ece|access-date=22 August 2020|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=3 September 2004}}</ref>

''[[Time Out (magazine)|Time Out]]'' critic stated: "Shamelessly ripping off plot ideas and entire sequences from ''[[Tango & Cash]]'', ''[[Lethal Weapon]]'', ''The Fast and Furious'', ''Ocean's Eleven'' and ''[[Thelma and Louise]]'', this energetic and surprisingly enjoyable nonsense zooms along at full-throttle, braking only for the peppy songs".<ref>{{cite web|title=Dhoom|url=https://www.timeout.com/en_gb/film/dhoom|publisher=[[Time Out (magazine)|Time Out]]|access-date=22 August 2020|date=2004}}</ref> Rating 3 out of 5, David Parkinson from ''[[Radio Times]]'' called it a "slick and stylish Indian drama" and wrote: "Style unashamedly triumphs over substance throughout, but the story rattles along and the set pieces are very slickly staged ... this rousing adventure owes as much to [[Hollywood]] and [[Hong Kong]] as it does to the crime classics of the 1970s".<ref>{{cite web|last=Parkinson|first=David|title=Dhoom – review|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/film/sjtkf/dhoom/|publisher=[[Radio Times]]|access-date=22 August 2020|date=August 2004}}</ref> Omar Ahmed from ''[[Empire (film magazine)|Empire]]'' rated 2 in 5 and said that "Clearly regarding itself as Bollywood's answer to ''The Fast and The Furious'', director Gadhvi's latest marks a departure for studio Yash Raj. Sadly, it's not the good kind of departure, with the studio abandoning its usually innovative approach and replacing it with an anxious attempt to blind its audience with style ... Another film which falls into the classic trap of trying to beat Hollywood at its own game instead of focusing on its primary strength - cultural uniqueness", but opined that the actors' performances are remarkable.<ref>{{cite web|last=Ahmed|first=Omar|title=Dhoom Review|url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/dhoom-review/|publisher=[[Empire (film magazine)|Empire]]|access-date=22 August 2020|date=1 January 2000}}</ref>

[[Taran Adarsh]] of ''[[IndiaFM]]'' rated 1.5 out of 5, and said: "''Dhoom'' has style, but no substance. ''Dhoom'' has gloss, but no script. ''Dhoom'' has thrills in abundance, but the outcome is least exciting. In short, ''Dhoom'' ranks amongst Yash Raj's weakest films" and that the film relies "too heavily on thrills", the bike chase in the story are "far more interesting than the story itself. In fact, all you remember at the end of the show are some expertly executed chases [Allan Amin], not the drama"; the film also seems to take inspirations from ''The Fast and The Furious'' and ''[[Biker Boyz]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Dhoom : Movie Review |url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/65066 |date=27 August 2004 |author-link=Taran Adarsh |first=Taran |last=Adarsh |publisher=[[Bollywood Hungama]] |access-date=6 January 2012}}</ref> Calling ''Dhoom'' a "testosterone-overdose", Anupama Chopra of ''[[India Today]]'' wrote that "''Dhoom'' is adolescent heaven-fast bikes, hot babes, tons of kick-ass action with no strings attached ... But there are lots of trendy split screen shots of shiny bikes burning rubber and fast paced stunts involving boats and trucks. Not to mention sexy songs with water hoses. Acting isn't the point here either. The performances are pure posture".<ref>{{cite news|last=Chopra|first=Anupama|title=Film review: 'Dhoom' starring Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Uday Chopra|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/your-week/story/20040913-film-review-dhoom-starring-abhishek-bachchan-john-abraham-uday-chopra-789345-2004-09-13|access-date=22 August 2020|work=[[India Today]]|date=13 September 2004}}</ref>

It tells the story of a cat & mouse game between a motorbike gang which commits robberies throughout Mumbai and a Mumbai police officer who teams up with a motorbike dealer to stop them.

The movie developed into a [[cult]] over the years upon its release.<ref>{{Cite web|title=As Dhoom Clocks 15 Years, Esha Deol Shares a Heartfelt Long Note Celebrating the Film|url=https://www.news18.com/news/movies/as-dhoom-clocks-15-years-esha-deol-shares-a-heartfelt-long-note-celebrating-the-film-2288571.html|access-date=2021-06-21|website=News18|language=en}}</ref>

==Plot==
The story starts in the city of [[Mumbai]], where a motorbike gang (a gang of robbers on hi-tech motorbikes, led by charismatic Kabir, is sweeping through Mumbai, outwitting the police at every turn) starts breaking into banks and other public places and vanishes onto the [[Western Express Highway]].

[[Assistant commissioner of police (India)|Assistant Commissioner of Police]] Jai Dixit ([[Abhishek Bachchan]]), a no-nonsense cop, is called onto the case. Dixit seeks the help of a local bike dealer/racer named Ali Akbar Fateh Khan ([[Uday Chopra]]) and devises a trap to catch the gang, but it fails. Kabir ([[John Abraham]]), the leader of the gang, eventually taunts Dixit, claiming that Dixit can't catch him even if he is right in front of him. He is proven correct, and Dixit's failure apparently causes him to part ways with Ali.

Kabir then lures Ali into his gang as a substitute for Rohit, the gang member who was killed by Dixit. Ali falls in love with Sheena ([[Esha Deol]]), another gang member. The gang later goes to [[Goa]] to perform one last big heist before disbanding forever. Kabir sets his eyes on the largest casino in all of India. Kabir and his gang swiftly loot the casino on [[New Year's Eve]], but they soon realize that Dixit has led them right into a trap. It is revealed that Ali was working for Dixit the whole time, and a fight ensues.

Kabir manages to escape from Dixit and goes back to the gang's truck, where Ali has kept Sheena bound and gagged. Kabir then viciously beats up Ali for his betrayal, but Ali is saved by Dixit's timely arrival at the scene. The gang flees, except for Sheena, while Dixit and Ali give chase to Kabir. They kill all the other gang members except Kabir, who tries to escape on his bike. He is cornered by Dixit and Ali with nowhere to go. Kabir decides to take his own life rather than let Dixit arrest him, and he rides his bike over the edge of a cliff into the water to his death. The film ends with Dixit and Ali arguing with each other, albeit in a friendly way.

Aditya Chopra initially had car chases in mind instead of bikes, but Sanjay Gadhvi convinced him otherwise as the rider's faces can be seen, and he had a craze for bikes in his youth.<ref>{{cite web|last=Ashraf|first=Syed Firdaus|title='People will love Dhoom!'|url=https://www.rediff.com/movies/2004/aug/26gadhvi.htm|work=[[Rediff.com]]|access-date=22 August 2020|date=26 August 2004}}</ref>

===Critical response===
Rajesh Karkera of ''[[Rediff.com]]'' said that "''Dhoom'' does have a few loopholes but the film's fast-paced energy is more than enough to ensure your eyes don't stir from the screen for two-and-a-half hours", on the performance side, Chopra "steals the show", Bachchan is "impressive as the cool and confident cop. John Abraham stalks though his role with ease. Esha Deol and Rimi Sen only need to look beautiful in their limited presence in this sweat 'n' leather flick".<ref>https://www.rediff.com/movies/2004/aug/27dhoom.htm</ref> Chitra Mahesh from ''[[The Hindu]]'' said that the film takes the genre of ''[[The Fast and the Furious (2001 film)|The Fast and the Furious]]'', ''[[Ocean's Eleven]]'' and similar others, and wrote that "the actions scenes are extremely well done with zooms and pacy editing, while the music is more raucous than melodious". Appreciating the acting, she said, "Chopra is delightful. Abhishek as Jai does his role with style and grit and is proving to be a wonderful actor. John Abraham looks terrific and suits the role of the mean but savvy thief".<ref>{{cite news|last=Mahesh|first=Chitra|title="Dhoom"|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-fridayreview/dhoom/article28577041.ece|access-date=22 August 2020|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=3 September 2004}}</ref>

''[[Time Out (magazine)|Time Out]]'' critic stated: "Shamelessly ripping off plot ideas and entire sequences from ''[[Tango & Cash]]'', ''[[Lethal Weapon]]'', ''The Fast and Furious'', ''Ocean's Eleven'' and ''[[Thelma and Louise]]'', this energetic and surprisingly enjoyable nonsense zooms along at full-throttle, braking only for the peppy songs".<ref>{{cite web|title=Dhoom|url=https://www.timeout.com/en_gb/film/dhoom|publisher=[[Time Out (magazine)|Time Out]]|access-date=22 August 2020|date=2004}}</ref> Rating 3 out of 5, David Parkinson from ''[[Radio Times]]'' called it a "slick and stylish Indian drama" and wrote: "Style unashamedly triumphs over substance throughout, but the story rattles along and the set pieces are very slickly staged ... this rousing adventure owes as much to [[Hollywood]] and [[Hong Kong]] as it does to the crime classics of the 1970s".<ref>{{cite web|last=Parkinson|first=David|title=Dhoom – review|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/film/sjtkf/dhoom/|publisher=[[Radio Times]]|access-date=22 August 2020|date=August 2004}}</ref> Omar Ahmed from ''[[Empire (film magazine)|Empire]]'' rated 2 in 5 and said that "Clearly regarding itself as Bollywood's answer to ''The Fast and The Furious'', director Gadhvi's latest marks a departure for studio Yash Raj. Sadly, it's not the good kind of departure, with the studio abandoning its usually innovative approach and replacing it with an anxious attempt to blind its audience with style ... Another film which falls into the classic trap of trying to beat Hollywood at its own game instead of focusing on its primary strength - cultural uniqueness", but opined that the actors' performances are remarkable.<ref>{{cite web|last=Ahmed|first=Omar|title=Dhoom Review|url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/dhoom-review/|publisher=[[Empire (film magazine)|Empire]]|access-date=22 August 2020|date=1 January 2000}}</ref>

[[Taran Adarsh]] of ''[[IndiaFM]]'' rated 1.5 out of 5, and said: "''Dhoom'' has style, but no substance. ''Dhoom'' has gloss, but no script. ''Dhoom'' has thrills in abundance, but the outcome is least exciting. In short, ''Dhoom'' ranks amongst Yash Raj's weakest films" and that the film relies "too heavily on thrills", the bike chase in the story are "far more interesting than the story itself. In fact, all you remember at the end of the show are some expertly executed chases [Allan Amin], not the drama"; the film also seems to take inspirations from ''The Fast and The Furious'' and ''[[Biker Boyz]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Dhoom : Movie Review |url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/65066 |date=27 August 2004 |author-link=Taran Adarsh |first=Taran |last=Adarsh |publisher=[[Bollywood Hungama]] |access-date=6 January 2012}}</ref> Calling ''Dhoom'' a "testosterone-overdose", Anupama Chopra of ''[[India Today]]'' wrote that "''Dhoom'' is adolescent heaven-fast bikes, hot babes, tons of kick-ass action with no strings attached ... But there are lots of trendy split screen shots of shiny bikes burning rubber and fast paced stunts involving boats and trucks. Not to mention sexy songs with water hoses. Acting isn't the point here either. The performances are pure posture".<ref>{{cite news|last=Chopra|first=Anupama|title=Film review: 'Dhoom' starring Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Uday Chopra|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/your-week/story/20040913-film-review-dhoom-starring-abhishek-bachchan-john-abraham-uday-chopra-789345-2004-09-13|access-date=22 August 2020|work=[[India Today]]|date=13 September 2004}}</ref>

==Plot==
The story starts in the city of [[Mumbai]], where a motorbike gang (a gang of robbers on hi-tech motorbikes, led by charismatic Kabir, is sweeping through Mumbai, outwitting the police at every turn) starts breaking into banks and other public places and vanishes onto the [[Western Express Highway]].

[[Assistant commissioner of police (India)|Assistant Commissioner of Police]] Jai Dixit ([[Abhishek Bachchan]]), a no-nonsense cop, is called onto the case. Dixit seeks the help of a local bike dealer/racer named Ali Akbar Fateh Khan ([[Uday Chopra]]) and devises a trap to catch the gang, but it fails. Kabir ([[John Abraham]]), the leader of the gang, eventually taunts Dixit, claiming that Dixit can't catch him even if he is right in front of him. He is proven correct, and Dixit's failure apparently causes him to part ways with Ali.

Kabir then lures Ali into his gang as a substitute for Rohit, the gang member who was killed by Dixit. Ali falls in love with Sheena ([[Esha Deol]]), another gang member. The gang later goes to [[Goa]] to perform one last big heist before disbanding forever. Kabir sets his eyes on the largest casino in all of India. Kabir and his gang swiftly loot the casino on [[New Year's Eve]], but they soon realize that Dixit has led them right into a trap. It is revealed that Ali was working for Dixit the whole time, and a fight ensues.

Kabir manages to escape from Dixit and goes back to the gang's truck, where Ali has kept Sheena bound and gagged. Kabir then viciously beats up Ali for his betrayal, but Ali is saved by Dixit's timely arrival at the scene. The gang flees, except for Sheena, while Dixit and Ali give chase to Kabir. They kill all the other gang members except Kabir, who tries to escape on his bike. He is cornered by Dixit and Ali with nowhere to go. Kabir decides to take his own life rather than let Dixit arrest him, and he rides his bike over the edge of a cliff into the water to his death. The film ends with Dixit and Ali arguing with each other, albeit in a friendly way.

===Critical response===
Rajesh Karkera of ''[[Rediff.com]]'' said that "''Dhoom'' does have a few loopholes but the film's fast-paced energy is more than enough to ensure your eyes don't stir from the screen for two-and-a-half hours", on the performance side, Chopra "steals the show", Bachchan is "impressive as the cool and confident cop. John Abraham stalks though his role with ease. Esha Deol and Rimi Sen only need to look beautiful in their limited presence in this sweat 'n' leather flick".<ref>https://www.rediff.com/movies/2004/aug/27dhoom.htm</ref> Chitra Mahesh from ''[[The Hindu]]'' said that the film takes the genre of ''[[The Fast and the Furious (2001 film)|The Fast and the Furious]]'', ''[[Ocean's Eleven]]'' and similar others, and wrote that "the actions scenes are extremely well done with zooms and pacy editing, while the music is more raucous than melodious". Appreciating the acting, she said, "Chopra is delightful. Abhishek as Jai does his role with style and grit and is proving to be a wonderful actor. John Abraham looks terrific and suits the role of the mean but savvy thief".<ref>{{cite news|last=Mahesh|first=Chitra|title="Dhoom"|url=https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-fridayreview/dhoom/article28577041.ece|access-date=22 August 2020|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=3 September 2004}}</ref>

''[[Time Out (magazine)|Time Out]]'' critic stated: "Shamelessly ripping off plot ideas and entire sequences from ''[[Tango & Cash]]'', ''[[Lethal Weapon]]'', ''The Fast and Furious'', ''Ocean's Eleven'' and ''[[Thelma and Louise]]'', this energetic and surprisingly enjoyable nonsense zooms along at full-throttle, braking only for the peppy songs".<ref>{{cite web|title=Dhoom|url=https://www.timeout.com/en_gb/film/dhoom|publisher=[[Time Out (magazine)|Time Out]]|access-date=22 August 2020|date=2004}}</ref> Rating 3 out of 5, David Parkinson from ''[[Radio Times]]'' called it a "slick and stylish Indian drama" and wrote: "Style unashamedly triumphs over substance throughout, but the story rattles along and the set pieces are very slickly staged ... this rousing adventure owes as much to [[Hollywood]] and [[Hong Kong]] as it does to the crime classics of the 1970s".<ref>{{cite web|last=Parkinson|first=David|title=Dhoom – review|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/film/sjtkf/dhoom/|publisher=[[Radio Times]]|access-date=22 August 2020|date=August 2004}}</ref> Omar Ahmed from ''[[Empire (film magazine)|Empire]]'' rated 2 in 5 and said that "Clearly regarding itself as Bollywood's answer to ''The Fast and The Furious'', director Gadhvi's latest marks a departure for studio Yash Raj. Sadly, it's not the good kind of departure, with the studio abandoning its usually innovative approach and replacing it with an anxious attempt to blind its audience with style ... Another film which falls into the classic trap of trying to beat Hollywood at its own game instead of focusing on its primary strength - cultural uniqueness", but opined that the actors' performances are remarkable.<ref>{{cite web|last=Ahmed|first=Omar|title=Dhoom Review|url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/dhoom-review/|publisher=[[Empire (film magazine)|Empire]]|access-date=22 August 2020|date=1 January 2000}}</ref>

[[Taran Adarsh]] of ''[[IndiaFM]]'' rated 1.5 out of 5, and said: "''Dhoom'' has style, but no substance. ''Dhoom'' has gloss, but no script. ''Dhoom'' has thrills in abundance, but the outcome is least exciting. In short, ''Dhoom'' ranks amongst Yash Raj's weakest films" and that the film relies "too heavily on thrills", the bike chase in the story are "far more interesting than the story itself. In fact, all you remember at the end of the show are some expertly executed chases [Allan Amin], not the drama"; the film also seems to take inspirations from ''The Fast and The Furious'' and ''[[Biker Boyz]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Dhoom : Movie Review |url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/moviemicro/criticreview/id/65066 |date=27 August 2004 |author-link=Taran Adarsh |first=Taran |last=Adarsh |publisher=[[Bollywood Hungama]] |access-date=6 January 2012}}</ref> Calling ''Dhoom'' a "testosterone-overdose", Anupama Chopra of ''[[India Today]]'' wrote that "''Dhoom'' is adolescent heaven-fast bikes, hot babes, tons of kick-ass action with no strings attached ... But there are lots of trendy split screen shots of shiny bikes burning rubber and fast paced stunts involving boats and trucks. Not to mention sexy songs with water hoses. Acting isn't the point here either. The performances are pure posture".<ref>{{cite news|last=Chopra|first=Anupama|title=Film review: 'Dhoom' starring Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Uday Chopra|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/your-week/story/20040913-film-review-dhoom-starring-abhishek-bachchan-john-abraham-uday-chopra-789345-2004-09-13|access-date=22 August 2020|work=[[India Today]]|date=13 September 2004}}</ref>

==Plot==
The story starts in the city of [[Mumbai]], where a motorbike gang (a gang of robbers on hi-tech motorbikes, led by charismatic Kabir, is sweeping through Mumbai, outwitting the police at every turn) starts breaking into banks and other public places and vanishes onto the [[Western Express Highway]].

[[Assistant commissioner of police (India)|Assistant Commissioner of Police]] Jai Dixit ([[Abhishek Bachchan]]), a no-nonsense cop, is called onto the case. Dixit seeks the help of a local bike dealer/racer named Ali Akbar Fateh Khan ([[Uday Chopra]]) and devises a trap to catch the gang, but it fails. Kabir ([[John Abraham]]), the leader of the gang, eventually taunts Dixit, claiming that Dixit can't catch him even if he is right in front of him. He is proven correct, and Dixit's failure apparently causes him to part ways with Ali.

Kabir then lures Ali into his gang as a substitute for Rohit, the gang member who was killed by Dixit. Ali falls in love with Sheena ([[Esha Deol]]), another gang member. The gang later goes to [[Goa]] to perform one last big heist before disbanding forever. Kabir sets his eyes on the largest casino in all of India. Kabir and his gang swiftly loot the casino on [[New Year's Eve]], but they soon realize that Dixit has led them right into a trap. It is revealed that Ali was working for Dixit the whole time, and a fight ensues.

Kabir manages to escape from Dixit and goes back to the gang's truck, where Ali has kept Sheena bound and gagged. Kabir then viciously beats up Ali for his betrayal, but Ali is saved by Dixit's timely arrival at the scene. The gang flees, except for Sheena, while Dixit and Ali give chase to Kabir. They kill all the other gang members except Kabir, who tries to escape on his bike. He is cornered by Dixit and Ali with nowhere to go. Kabir decides to take his own life rather than let Dixit arrest him, and he rides his bike over the edge of a cliff into the water to his death. The film ends with Dixit and Ali arguing with each other, albeit in a friendly way.

The plot element is inspired by 2 Hindi films, ''[[Pasand Apni Apni]]'' and ''[[Naram Garam]]''. A famous hotel comedy sequence from this movie was reused by [[Priyadarshan]] in his 2005 Hindi movie ''[[Garam Masala (2005 film)|Garam Masala]]''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaeXBKigDwg ''YouTube.''</ref>
== Plot ==
The story revolves around two friends{{mdash}}Narayanan Kutty ([[Mohanlal]]) and Balan ([[Shankar Panicker]]). Working as a mechanic at K & K Automobiles in [[Chennai]], Narayanan Kutty is flirtatious. Although he has never been successful in wooing any girl, he loves boasting cooked up stories about his encounters with rich girls in and around the city. Manoharan ([[Jagathy Sreekumar]]), the proprietor of K & K Automobiles, always falls in deep trouble because of the careless attitude of Narayanan Kutty at the work place. Balan, his roommate, a jobless chap is in all efforts to find a job with the help of Narayanan Kutty, as he has to marry Ammukutty (Ragini), his love interest in the village.

From the driver ([[Innocent (actor)|Innocent]]) of M. N. Nambiar ([[Thilakan]]), the owner of Continental Group, Narayanan Kutty finds out that Nambiar is always sympathetic to [[leukemia]] patients and will do anything to support them, as he himself was a former survived patient. Balan meets Nambiar and successfully fools him by claiming to be a leukemia patient, who is in deep financial trouble. Balan is offered a job at the company as an attender.

In the meantime, Narayanan Kutty himself spreads a gossip that he is the fiancé of Mala (Puja Saxena), the daughter of M. N. Nambiar. Sujatha ([[Lizy Priyadarshan]]), a close buddy of Mala impostors Mala and contact Narayanan Kutty, with the knowledge of Mala. As a part of a plan to fool him, Mala approaches him as Sujatha, who disguise as a news reporter to interview him about his relationship with the daughter of Nambiar. Soon, Narayanan Kutty falls in love with Mala, whom he believes to be Sujatha. Things get complicated for him as she also reciprocates in the same manner.

On the other hand, the life of Balan was going too smoothly until the parents of his fiancée arrive in the city along with her to see his office. Balan, who is actually a peon at the office had lied to them that he is the manager of the company. To add more trouble, Nambiar decides to marry again, to which his daughter objects vehemently, inviting more clashes. How Balan and Narayanan Kutty solve the troubles and loose the knots that they created, forms the rest of the story.

==Plot==
The film starts off when two photographers Makarand "Mac" Dindayal Chatpatiya ([[Akshay Kumar]]) and Shyam "Sam" Salgaonkar ([[John Abraham]]) are doing a photo shoot. While Mac is shooting the models in exposing poses, his fiancée Anjali ([[Rimi Sen]]) leaves in disgust due to Mac's closeness to the models. Their boss calls them into his office and tells them that they are good-for-nothing photographers. He threatens to reduce their pay if they don't get some good pictures for the world photography competition to make his magazine ''Garam Masala'' famous.

Both Mac and Sam ask Maggie ([[Neha Dhupia]]), the boss's secretary, on a date on the same day, at the same restaurant at the same time. As all three meet up at the restaurant a pickpocket takes Mac's and Sam's wallets. After the meal, the competition to impress Maggie heightens thus evoking humorous events after which Sam and Mac leave Maggie to pay the bill.

Sam visits a famous photographer, praising him and asking for a few outstanding shots. These stolen shots help Sam to win the world photography competition. He gets promoted, is given ten percent of the prize money and has his pay doubled, whilst Mac receives a demotion to assistant. Sam flies off to the US to enjoy his holiday, leaving Mac fuming in Mauritius.

The chief editor persuades Mac to show up Sam by getting three women to be his fiancées, getting a very expensive flat and driving very expensive, imported cars. Following his promise, Mac gets a high-quality flat and gets access to three beautiful air hostesses. His driver, Babban ([[Rajpal Yadav]]), is his key to the high life. Not only does Babban get Mac access to the flat, he delivers very high-end cars to impress his fiancées. He drives Mac's cars and does all his services for a small amount of liquor every day. Lastly, Babban gets Mac a housekeeper, Mambo ([[Paresh Rawal]]), who has an attitude problem and doesn't care what goes on in his flat so long as his demands are met.

He has affairs with each of the three women—Deepti ([[Daisy Bopanna]]), Puja ([[Nargis Bagheri]]) and Sweety ([[Neetu Chandra]])—and creates chaos. Sam returns from America, only to find his friend turned rival, playing around with three women at once. He tries to help his friend and tries out his own luck with the girls.

The story turns into mayhem when it's hard for the two boys to maintain the three girls simultaneously. Mac's original fiancée Anjali learns about Mac's acts, and it creates a bigger mess. When their cook Mambo leaves, they begin to realise their mistakes and Mac attempts reuniting with Anjali; in the end Mac tries to climb on the car which Anjali and Sam are in while being chased by the three women he was dating now that they realised the truth.

==Plot==
The film starts off when two photographers Makarand "Mac" Dindayal Chatpatiya ([[Akshay Kumar]]) and Shyam "Sam" Salgaonkar ([[John Abraham]]) are doing a photo shoot. While Mac is shooting the models in exposing poses, his fiancée Anjali ([[Rimi Sen]]) leaves in disgust due to Mac's closeness to the models. Their boss calls them into his office and tells them that they are good-for-nothing photographers. He threatens to reduce their pay if they don't get some good pictures for the world photography competition to make his magazine ''Garam Masala'' famous.

Both Mac and Sam ask Maggie ([[Neha Dhupia]]), the boss's secretary, on a date on the same day, at the same restaurant at the same time. As all three meet up at the restaurant a pickpocket takes Mac's and Sam's wallets. After the meal, the competition to impress Maggie heightens thus evoking humorous events after which Sam and Mac leave Maggie to pay the bill.

Sam visits a famous photographer, praising him and asking for a few outstanding shots. These stolen shots help Sam to win the world photography competition. He gets promoted, is given ten percent of the prize money and has his pay doubled, whilst Mac receives a demotion to assistant. Sam flies off to the US to enjoy his holiday, leaving Mac fuming in Mauritius.

The chief editor persuades Mac to show up Sam by getting three women to be his fiancées, getting a very expensive flat and driving very expensive, imported cars. Following his promise, Mac gets a high-quality flat and gets access to three beautiful air hostesses. His driver, Babban ([[Rajpal Yadav]]), is his key to the high life. Not only does Babban get Mac access to the flat, he delivers very high-end cars to impress his fiancées. He drives Mac's cars and does all his services for a small amount of liquor every day. Lastly, Babban gets Mac a housekeeper, Mambo ([[Paresh Rawal]]), who has an attitude problem and doesn't care what goes on in his flat so long as his demands are met.

He has affairs with each of the three women—Deepti ([[Daisy Bopanna]]), Puja ([[Nargis Bagheri]]) and Sweety ([[Neetu Chandra]])—and creates chaos. Sam returns from America, only to find his friend turned rival, playing around with three women at once. He tries to help his friend and tries out his own luck with the girls.

The story turns into mayhem when it's hard for the two boys to maintain the three girls simultaneously. Mac's original fiancée Anjali learns about Mac's acts, and it creates a bigger mess. When their cook Mambo leaves, they begin to realise their mistakes and Mac attempts reuniting with Anjali; in the end Mac tries to climb on the car which Anjali and Sam are in while being chased by the three women he was dating now that they realised the truth.

In September 2015, submitted a [[mercy plea]] which was rejected by the then governor of Uttar Pradesh, [[Ram Naik]] and in August 2016, then-President [[Pranab Mukherjee]] also rejected her mercy petition.

==Early life==
Shabnam hails from [[Bawankheri]], a village in the outskirts of [[Amroha]] and belongs to the [[Saifi]] Muslim community. She did her double MA in English and Geography and was working as a teacher in a primary school in Bawankheri.<ref name=":0" /> She was seven weeks pregnant with her boyfriend at the time she committed the crime and gave birth to a boy in the jail in December 2008 who stayed with her until 2015 and was later sent to foster care.
==Case details==
[[File:Salim.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Salim after his arrest in 2008]]
Shabnam was born and brought up into an educated and land-owning family. She was working as a teacher in a primary school in Bawankheri at the time she fell in love with Salim, a Class VI dropout who operated a farmer’s grass-cutting machine. Her parents were not happy with their relationship and they stopped her from meeting Salim which angered them and provoked them to plot the murders. On the night of April 14/15 in 2008, Shabnam served milk laced with sedatives to her family and then called Salim who walked in with an axe. Shabnam then held each of her family members by their hair, while Saleem [[severed]] their necks with the [[axe]]. Shabnam then strangled 10-month-old Arsh her brother Anees's son, who couldn’t be drugged with the tea. In a statement "She said, 'The baby kept crying but Salim told me he must not be touched. But I was scared, so I throttled him myself'." They were both arrested on April 19, 2008, and Shabnam was seven weeks pregnant with Saleem's child. At the time of committing the crime, Shabnam was 25 years old with a double MA degree.<ref>{{cite web|accessdate=2021-02-20|title=Lovers slay family in 'honour killing' belt|url=https://www.telegraphindia.com/india/lovers-slay-family-in-honour-killing-belt/cid/592345|website=www.telegraphindia.com}}</ref>
==Trial==
On 15 July 2010, district judge [[SAA Hussaini]] ruled that Shabnam and Salim should be hanged till death for the multiple murders, a verdict subsequently upheld by the [[Sessions Court|sessions court]], the [[Allahabad High Court]] and the [[Supreme Court of India|Supreme Court]]. During the course of their trial, the couple turned against each other. The Supreme Court observed in its judgement that in her Section 313 statement, Shabnam said Saleem had entered the house with a knife through the roof and killed all her family members while she was asleep. Saleem, on the other hand, said he had gone to the house "only upon the request of Shabnam" and that when he reached there, she confessed to having killed the family.<ref>{{cite web|accessdate=2021-02-20|title=Photos: Flying start to India’s air show in Bengaluru|url=https://gulfnews.com/photos/news/photos-flying-start-to-indias-air-show-in-bengaluru-1.1612333293567|website=gulfnews.com}}</ref>

Shabnam had challenged the lower court's order in the Supreme Court but the top court had upheld the decision. After this, Shabnam and Salim sent a mercy petition to the President, but their plea got rejected. She then filed a review petition in the top court but that was also rejected. Shabnam has been lodged in Rampur prison later shifted to Bareilly jail on March 2, 2021, for security reasons, after her photos with some fellow inmates surfaced on social media platforms. The photos were clicked and circulated by a male prison guard and a woman guard who was also been placed under suspension.<ref>{{cite news|accessdate=2021-03-04|title=Amroha murder case: Death-row convict Shabnam sent to Bareilly jail|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/death-row-convict-shabnam-sent-to-bareilly-jail/articleshow/81304798.cms|newspaper=The Economic Times|via=The Economic Times}}</ref> Salim is currently lodged in [[Agra Jail]].<ref>{{cite web|accessdate=2021-02-20|title=Who is Shabnam Ali, the first woman to be hanged in Independent India|url=https://opoyi.com/who-is-shabnam-ali-the-first-woman-to-be-hanged-in-independent-india|website=opoyi.com}}</ref>
