Encyclopedic overview
Dhoom 2 (transl. Blast 2), also known as Dhoom 2: Back in Action, is a 2006 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Sanjay Gadhvi and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. Written by Vijay Krishna Acharya from a story by Chopra, it serves as a sequel to Dhoom (2004) and the second installment in the Dhoom franchise. The film stars Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Bipasha Basu, and Uday Chopra. The narrative follows a series of high-profile heists carried out by the elusive thief Aryan (Roshan), and the attempts by police officers Jai Dixit (Abishek Bachchan) and Ali (Uday Chopra)to apprehend him, culminating in a cat-and-mouse chase that spans multiple continents.
Principal photography took place in India, South Africa (Durban), and Brazil (Rio de Janeiro), making it the first major Hindi film to be shot extensively in Brazil. The soundtrack was composed by Pritam with lyrics by Sameer, and the action choreography was handled by Allan Amin. The film was noted for its stylized visuals, elaborate stunt sequences, and glamorous presentation.
