Dhoom (transl. Blast) is a 2004 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Sanjay Gadhvi and produced by Aditya Chopra, who wrote the story with the script by Vijay Krishna Acharya, under Yash Raj Films. The film stars Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Uday Chopra, Esha Deol and Rimi Sen. It is the first installment of the Dhoom franchise. The cinematography and editing were handled by Nirav Shah and Rameshwar S. Bhagat, while the soundtrack and score were composed by Pritam and Salim–Sulaiman respectively.
Dhoom was the first action film produced by Yash Raj Films since Yash Chopra's Vijay. The film revolves around a gang of robbers on motorbikes, led by Kabir (John Abraham), who carry out robberies in Mumbai, while a cop Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan) and a motorbike dealer Ali Akbar Fateh Khan (Uday Chopra) are assigned to stop Kabir and his gang.
Dhoom was released on 27 August 2004 to mixed reviews from critics with praise for its performances, action sequences and soundtrack, but criticism for its script and was negatively compared to other Hollywood franchises like Fast and Furious, Death Race and Ocean's. The film became a commercial success by grossing over ₹290 million (US$3.5 million) in India, thus becoming the third highest-grossing Indian film of 2004. It also achieved cult status over the years since its release.[4][5]
At the 50th Filmfare Awards, Dhoom received 6 nominations, including Best Film, Best Villain (John Abraham) and Best Music Director (Pritam), and won 2 awards – Best Editing and Best Sound Design.
The film spawned a film series with its sequels titled Dhoom 2 and Dhoom 3, where Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra reprise their roles as Jai Dixit and Ali Akbar Khan.
