== Influence ==
The movie had a significant cultural impact among urban Indian youth. It was blamed for an increase in incidents of [[street racing]], bike-borne theft and [[Stunters|stunting]] on public roads. Besides, there was a new impetus to the bike-modifying scene with youth going in for modifications to their bikes ranging from free flow exhaust systems to addition of [[Nitrous oxide|NOS]] kits. In [[Malappuram district]] of [[Kerala]], four members of a group of criminals had [[Chelembra Bank Robbery|cracked the floor]] of [[South Malabar Gramin Bank]] in the early hours on 30 December 2007 and looted {{INR}} 2.5 million and 80 kilograms of gold, a total worth of Rs. 80 million, considered to be one of the biggest thefts in Kerala's crime records. The [[Kerala Police]] have arrested four people in connection with this and the leader admitted that he was inspired by ''Dhoom''. The [[media in India]] drew parallels to Dhoom 2.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1153520 |title=Bollywood scripts Kerala's bank heist |newspaper=DNA India |date=29 February 2008 |publisher=DNA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IER20080228222306&Page=R&Title=Kerala&Topic=0 |title=D(h)oomsday: In Chelembra and Milan, gold robberies rival thrillers |work=The Indian Express |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080618005511/http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems.asp?ID=IER20080228222306&Page=R&Title=Kerala&Topic=0 |archive-date=18 June 2008 |df=dmy }}</ref>
