Can't believe that the episode was posted on the same day Sanjay Gadhvi (the director of this movie) passed away. Talkin about coincidences!

[@markblaze3764]

Btw, the director of Dhoom 1 and 2's passed away recently.

[@DevashishJagirdar]

Yes ! RIP

[@divesh613]

Sanjay Gadhvi i think he had a fallout with YRF..never worked again with them..

[@rakith]

He was murdered.

[@nitupsar]

​​@@rakithhow do you know?? (asking sincerely)

[@eighty9]

​@@rakithkuch bhi

[@divesh613]

Yes even Dhoom2 was ahead of its time due to its COOL factor, none of the robbery shots were copied from hollywood...Sanjay Gadhvi is real OG director...Taklu Victor Acharya ruined the legacy with Dhoom 3.

[@macksequeira4233]

In the same way Hollywood copied DARR and made Fear. Hollywood copied JAB WE MET and made shitty Leap Year Hollywood has remade Neeraj Pandey's film A WEDNESDAY. Iske baare mein kaun bolega chutiye. Tera lavdu hollywood dudh ka dhula nahi. Chaatna band kar cool Indian

[@PopDiveWithVishal]

Loved the way editor kept all retakes of Abbas 😂😂

[@saurabhsingh5567]

Urjita deserves a show of her own

[@divesh613]

And her first guest should be AB Jr and Uday Chopra...

[@gurudeepranjan]

Director of dhoom passed away the same day this episode aired... RIP

[@dia606]

Shut up no way!

[@PritamKayal]

Snehil approves the double feature choice of Abbas 😂😂

[@karansethi9151]

Well one film that also likely served as inspiration was biker boyz ( not exactly a well known film) but it too was based around bikes and had some similarities with this film. One more possible reason for Tata Young in this film was that Pritam is known to often plagirise songs and by incorporating her in this film that plagiarism element could be taken away. I also think the first one is the best of the series largely because it had the best villain. Dhoom 2 had good action set pieces and the chemistry between the Hrithik Roshan Aishwarya Rai pairing was good , he still wasn't as good a villain and was more of just a thief. The love story sort of watered him down further.

[@PritamKayal]

Did that movie have a action sequence with bikes and trains?

[@karansethi9151]

@PritamKayal I think that one was Torque though it was bike centred it had a different story

[@macksequeira4233]

Aagaya ek aur Hollywood ka chodu, cool banne ki nakaam koshish

[@divesh613]

Uday Chopra Fanclub.....Attendance lagao...

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Ok but Rimi Sen was iconic in ‘Dhoom’ and ‘Dhoom 2’.

[@divesh613]

sex bomb

[@shobhitsingh6330]

Dhoom, the movie after which everyone started calling even his khatara motorcycle as 'bike'

[@priyamsharma9696]

Please please do an episode on Vastav the reality (1999).

[@Vikrum_]

Start a Classics series and begin with Chashme Baddoor ❤

[@DevashishJagirdar]

That aga bai... Aaisha !! @urjita!!! Gold!

[@tericinemaka]

Watching the movie after the podcast, Rahul was bheeshm in mahabhart guys.

[@alashshrivastav9047]

28:55 He played Bheeshm in Mahabharat, not Yudhishthir.

[@deepan93]

You are missing the guests name in the video title.

[@a.niche.studio]

Cmon bhai Abbas, Tata young didn’t sing absolutely everybody, it was an Aussie singer Vanessa. But both their vibes are pretty alike..

[@MaheshSharma-kq3bl]

nos thing was inspired frm Fast and Furious 1 how u guys missed it I will never understand

[@rana1561]

I know it's an old episode, but it's been bothering me that people don't know Dhoom was mostly copied from "Point Break", not "Heat" or "fast and the furious".

[@tericinemaka]

What an episode! Loved this

[@sandeepchitre]

Nice conversation. This is the first one I listened to in this series amd looking forward to listening to the other episodes. Btw - Amiabh Bachchan's character name in the all time classic mivie Sholay is Jay (not Vijay).

[@drprathamprakash1408]

I also Noticed that blunder they did!! You do not mess up that name since Jai-Viru ki Jodi is iconic ❤

[@tarunkaushik1550]

Dhoom was a movie that put all the main actors on stage; Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra, Esha Deol and Suzuki Hayabusa 😁

[@akhilatippa3406]

The hero of the movie is John Abraham apparently.. It is mentioned in Romantics wherein Abhishek says that Aditya had approached him and Uday Chopra saying that there is this movie that I wanna make abt bikes and stuff.. tum dono ko lunga par hero nhi ho tumlog.. as it is your careers are not going anywhere toh chup chap kar lo ye movie..

[@charchitacharya9477]

Some feedback for the ad break , Its so robotic and un-inspiring , even the music is screaming to be skipped or fast forward ,it should be a bit more Hip or cool, with a less robotic more human like delivery

[@htgupta]

i think su ma ya ro was like some exotic way of saying the name of the singer sowmya rao who sang dilbara or it could just be suhamaya..dunno

[@drprathamprakash1408]

Wowww😂😂😂😂

[@shivangijoshi4908]

New fan of this podcast and loving all the episodes!! I feel like Abbas and urjita work very well together but loveeee urjita's knowledge of Bollywood movies

[@theesbros]

Guys no @ 13:43 they ripped off torque! even the character had the same visual identity as John Abraham

[@divesh613]

yes but i think sab robbery scenes were original right???

[@theesbros]

@@divesh613 probably though I highly doubt it. But the whole outer packaging was Torque.

[@axay229]

I am a few months late here, but I just finished this episode and noticed that you guys didn't mention, probably didn't know, that Dhoom actually had an alternate ending. It's an epilogue where Ali, now a corrupt cop, is caught by Jai collecting hafta. They shot it and all - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2PYdKh_bNx8rLc

[@okjamija8454]

There’s Luffy behind Urjita

[@AllTimeBollywoodFan]

U guys could have added a special message before the show started with Sanjay Gadhvi’s picture because he just died when this episode released. Could’ve been a great tribute

[@b2kt734]

I really enjoyed the alternative ending segment. It was so interesting

[@jitkr1489]

yasna gupta is czech!!

[@Hassan87.]

A special episode on Abbas’ shirt is due.

[@architgemini9411]

He was bhisma pitama not yudhishthir

[@ayanbandyopadhyay7767]

played bhishma not yudhisthir

[@murtuzaali5015]

44:14 😂😂😂

[@sayandeysarkar3354]

Aisa jaadu daala re from Khakee, Kusu kusu , Dilbar, Rock tha party, Salaame, Chikni chameli,

[@Desirobinhoood]

Next on ek tha tiger

[@saratdas1988]

I do not have the skills at all and obviously your tasks are very difficult but I am often put off by how Abbas gets the names of easy movies and songs wrong but can say obscure trivia. How?? 10-15 pieces dekh liya hai and while listening meri zubaan pe aa jata hai un sab ka naam and then hear what is said and roll my eyes ki are bhai ye nahi tha

[@gurudeepranjan]

Double feature with Dhoom would be the parody version called ghoom made by mtv fully faltoo

[@slayer_142]

Bollywood 2000s m zyda risk leta tha ? yrf ne jhon ko cast kiya tha 😊

[@vickiya-]

ye guest dheela hai shayad 😂😂😂rangeela ratan 😂😂😂sixer

[@nitishkharat]

RIP director

[@david59417]

[@markblaze3764]

Last❤

[@sourabhnamdeo9580]

Last episode you watching?

[@Ullu_ka_pillu]

RIP Sanjay

[@mayurmadiwalar8978]

Am i the only one who thinks Dhoom 1 is far better than Dhoom 2? D2 absolutely made no sense to me

[@drprathamprakash1408]

There are many people who think that!! I think the HR factor gives a lot of edge to Dhoom 2( Including me) but 19-20 ka hi fark hai.. Also an Unpopular opinion: I like Dhoom 3 as well😅😂

[@A.K.M.333]

Me too 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@captDDay]

In Sholay, Amitabh = Jai

[@bijoybiswas1932]

Usne Bhishma kya tha not yudhishthir.

[@fibicreations]

The guest hardly talked. Abbas should only wear tee shirts. Shirts make him lose I Q. 😅😅

[@dottedfrontiers]

Not HEAT... POINT BREAK

[@hma01]

Yudhishthir joke is not aged well
