==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.

''[[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>
