Dhoom (Hindi: धूम Dhūm, meaning "Bang") is an Indian buddy-cop-action film series. The films revolve around Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan), an Assistant Commissioner of Police and his sidekick Ali Akbar Fateh Khan (Uday Chopra), who attempt to capture wanted, professional thieves. In an ode to common practice, the plot is often heavily influenced by the antagonist. It is the largest Bollywood film franchise in terms of box-office revenue.
The latest installment in the series Dhoom 3 has earned over $100 million worldwide, making it the fourth highest-grossing film in the history of Indian cinema.
Dhoom is now highest-grossing film series in Bollywood.
ACP Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan), is called on a case of thieves on motorcycles. He seeks the help of a scatterbrained, clownish downtown racer named Ali (Uday Chopra) and devises a trap to catch the thieves, but fails. Kabir, (John Abraham) the leader of the gang, eventually taunts Dixit by saying that he won't be able to catch Kabir even if he were right in front of him. He is proved correct and the failure of Dixit seemingly leads to the end of his partnership with Ali.
Kabir then lures Ali into his gang to replace Rohit who was killed by Jai. Jai is married to Sweety (Rimi Sen). Ali also falls in love with Sheena (Esha Deol), one of the gang members. The gang later goes to Goa to perform one last big heist before disbanding forever. Kabir now sets his eyes on the biggest casino in India. Kabir and his gang swiftly rob the casino on New Year's Eve, but soon, they realise that Jai has lured them right into a trap. Ali was working for Jai the whole time and a fight stages.
