Dhoom 2 (2006): More action, and equal success

Dhoom 2 was released in 2006, as a much awaited sequel after the success of Dhoom (2004). The movie was directed by Sanjay Gadhvi (who had earlier directed Tere Liye (2000), Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai (2002), and Dhoom (2004)), and after the success of Dhoom, he was the natural choice for shooting this movie as well. The movie had a tough initial act to catch, since the original Dhoom had fast paced action in terms of bike action, as well as the glamour quotient. So, in Dhoom 2, they had to improve on both the glam as well as on the action scenes - so you had Aishwarya Rai and Bipasha Basu as the hot female leads along with Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, and Uday Chopra; the action was also accelerated with cliff shots, landing on a train, and numerous other action sequences.

The movie was also a bit controversial since a kiss scene between Aishwarya and Hrithik was removed, since Aishwarya was becoming a part of the Bachchan household. Besides this however, there were some specialties in the movie, with more focus on the dashing villain, Hrithik rather than on Abhishek (there was speculation on why Abhishek settled for a much lower role). The movie had some great songs by Pritam, with lyrics by Sameer.




The movie follows the same track as the earlier Dhoom, with the police inspector chasing a thief who seems to disappear into thin air, and keeps on cocking a snook at the police. In this movie, the thief is played by a Mr. A (Hrithik Roshan) as he is in the habit of leaving a 'A' symbol after each robbery. There is a great action scene where he steals a beautiful English crown by sky diving onto a train that is in the Namibian desert. As usual, he is pursued by ACP Jai Dixit, who is accompanied by his Sub Inspector Ali Akbar (Uday Chopra), and by his former classmate ACP Shonali Bose (Bipasha Basu).
And then there is the entry of Sunheri (Aishwarya Rai), who wants to get close to Mr. A as his fan, but who is actually working for the police. Mr. A trains her, and takes her along for another robbery in Brazil, but there Hrithik discovers that Sunheri is working against him, and threatens her. She is in love with him by that time, and ends up turning over to his side. In the end, even though their robbery is a success, they are not able to escape, and in a daring cliff confrontation, there is a staged death of Mr. A. In the end, they show Mr. A and Sunheri together in a restaurant, where ACP Jai also walks in.

Lyrics of songs from the movie:

Crazy Kiya Re

chori chori kiyaa re, dil ye dil liyaa re - 2
jaadu se jaadu kiyaa……kiyaa re
jaagi soyi rahoon, khoyi khoyi rahoon,
uski yaadon mein, uske khwaabon mein
jhoome jiyaa re………crazy kiyaa re

naa usko pataa, naa uski khataa
main uspe mar gayi, zaraa usko bataa,
dheere dheere ikraar mein,
kabhi kabhi intezaar mein ,
uske hi pyaar mein………jhoome jiyaa re…crazy kiyaa re

main yahaan bhi gayi, main wahaan bhi gayi,
sochaa pal pal use, main jahaan bhi gayi
din ho yaa raat ho
woh mere saath ho
jab uski baat ho…jhoome jiyaa re……crazy kiyaa re

chori chori kiyaa re, dil ye dil liyaa re - 2
jaadu se jaadu kiyaa……kiyaa re
jaagi soyi rahoon, khoyi khoyi rahoon,
uski yaadon mein, uske khwaabon mein
jhoome jiyaa re………crazy kiyaa re

Lakshaya - good, but failed to work

War movies typically try to raise the jingoistic pitch, pushing the envelopes of patriotism, sacrifice, dedication, and lots of grunting, screaming, and similar behavior. A typical example is Border which showed determination, courage, sacrifice, death, honor, etc. Lakshya was a bit off from this track, trying to combine the story of the development into maturity of a young rudderless route when exposed to the harsh environment of a war. In that sense, it was different from the other war movies.
The movie was a perfect opportunity for the lead star, Hrithik Roshan, to showcase his histrionic skills; he was there right from the first frame to right at the end, where his individual triumph is showcased. The other actors in the movie were Preity Zinta, Amitabh Bachchan, Om Puri and Boman Irani (although it was only Preity Zinta who got a role almost the same size as that of Hrithik). The movie was based on the Kargil war of 1999, and depicts the effort by Lieutenant (later Acting Captain) Karan Shergill to capture a critical peak and keep the honor of his Brigade. The movie was directed by Farhan Akhtar, with the story by Javed Akhtar, and music by Shankaar-Ehsaan-Loy.
The movie made some good watching. You had this guy, wandering around aimless in life, with his dad wondering when he will do something in life. Some of his friends were similarly aimless, although his girlfriend Romi (Preity Zinta) was more caring about causes, and a career for her in journalism seemed to be a likely next step. In this carefree mood, he decides to try out for the army, and actually gets selected to the astonishment of his parents. However, he cannot stand the discipline of the NDA, and jumps from there.
His parents expected this, but Romi is disgusted with him, and leaves him. He is shaken at this, and this turns him into a dedicated person. He returns to the academy, takes his punishment and graduates into a good soldier, and officer. And then he gets involved with the Kargil conflict as part of his brigade, and then meets Romi again over there. Romi's character was apparently styled on Barkha Dutt, is covering the conflict as a TV reporter. They meet, when Romi is now engaged to somebody else, and Hrithik and his brigade have to break the Pakistani stranglehood on a critical peak, and the way to do that is very challenging.

Lyrics of movie Lakshya:

Title Song:

Haan yehi rasta hai tera, tune ab jaana hai
Haan yehi rasta hai tera, tune ab jaana hai
Haan yehi sapna hai tera, tune pehchaana hai

Haan yehi rasta hai tera, tune ab jaana hai
Haan yehi sapna hai tera, tune pehchaana hai
Tujhe ab ye dikhaana hai
Roke tujhko aandhiyaan, ya zameen aur aasmaan
Paayega jo lakshya hai tera
Lakshya toh har haal mein paana hai

Mushkil koyi, aajaaye toh, parbat koyi, takraaye toh
Taaqat koyi, dikhlaaye toh, toofaan koyi, mandlaaye toh
Mushkil koyi aajaaye toh, parbat koyi takraaye toh
Barse chaahe ambar se aag, lipte chaahe pairon se laakh -2
Paayega jo lakshya hai tera
Lakshya toh har haal mein paana hai

Himmat se jo koyi chale, dharti hille qadmon tale
Kya dooriyaan kya faasle, manzil lage aake gale
Himmat se jo koyi chale, dharti hille qadmon tale
Tu chal yunhi ab sub-o-shaam, rukna, jhukna nahin tera kaam -2
Paayega jo lakshya hai tera
Lakshya toh har haal mein paana hai

Haan yehi rasta hai tera, tune ab jaana hai
Haan yehi sapna hai tera, tune pehchaana hai
Tujhe ab ye dikhaana hai

Kandhon Se Milte Hain

( Kandhon Se Milte Hain Kandhe, Qadmon Se Qadam Milte Hain
Ham Chalte Hain Jab Aise To, Dil Dushman Ke Hilte Hain )...(2)
( Ab To Hamein Aage Badhte Hai Rahna
Ab To Hamein Saathi Hai Bas Itna Hi Kahna )...(2)
Ab Jo Bhi Ho, Shola Banke Patthar Hai Pighlana
Ab Jo Bhi Ho, Baadal Banke Parbat Par Hai Chhaana
( Kandhon Se Milte Hain....Dushman Ke Hilte Hain ) -2

Nikle Hain Maidaan Mein, Ham Jaan Hatheli Par Lekar
Ab Dekho Dam Leinge, Ham Jaake Apni Manzil Par

Khatron Se Hans Ke Khelna, Itni To Ham Mein Himmat Hai
Modhein Kalayee Maut Ki, Itni To Ham Mein Taaqat Hai
Ham Sarhadon Ke Vaaste, Lohe Ki Ik Deewaar Hain
Ham Dushmanon Ke Vaaste, Hoshiyaar Hain Taiyar Hain
Ab Jo Bhi Ho..Par Hai Chhaana
Kandhon Se Milte Hain...Dushman Ke Hilte Hain

Josh Dil Mein Jagate Chalo, Jeet Ke Geet Gaate Chalo...(2)
Jeet Ki Jo Tasveer Banane Ham Nikle Hain
Apne Lahoo Se Hamko Usmein Rang Bharna Hai
Saathi Maine Apne Dil Mein Ab Ye Thaan Liya Ha
i Ya To Ab Karna Hai, Ya To Ab Marna Hai
Chahe Angare Barse, Ke Bijli Gire
Tu Akela Nahin Hoga Yaara Mere
Koi Mushkil Ho Ya Ho Koi Morcha
Saath Har Mod Par, Honge Saathi Tere
Ab Jo Bhi Ho...Par Hai Chhaana
Kandhon Se Milte Hain...Dushman Ke Hilte Hain

Ek Chehra Aksar Mujhe Yaad Aataa Hai
Is Dil Ko Chupke Chupke Vo Tadpata Hai
Jab Ghar Se Koi Bhi Kat Aaya Hai
Kaagaz Ko Maine Bheega Bheega Paaya Hai
Palkon Pe Yaadon Ke Kuchh Deep Jaise Jalte Hain
Kuchh Sapne Aise Hain, Jo Saath Saath Chalte Hain
Koi Sapna Na Toote, Koi Vaada Na Toote
Tum Chaho Jise Dil Se, Vo Tumse Na Roothe
Ab Jo Bhi Ho, Shola Banke Patthar Hai Pighlana
Ab Jo Bhi Ho, Baadal Banke Parbat Par Hai Chhaana
Kandhon Se Milte Hain ...Dushman Ke Hilte Hain

Chalta Hai Jo Ye Kaarvan, Goonji Si Hain Ye Vaadiyan
Hai Ye Zameen, Goonji Goonji
Ye Aasman, Goonja Goonja
Hai Ye Hawa, Goonji Goonji
Hai Ye Samaa, Goonja Goonja
Har Raste Ne, Har Wadi Ne, Har Parbat Ne Sadaa Di
Ham Jeeteinge, Ham Jeeteinge, Ham Jeeteinge Har Baazi
( Kandhon Se Milte Hain...Dushman Ke Hilte Hain )...(5)

Meri bas yehi chaahat hai toh kya kahogi) -2

Main tumse kahoongi, is baat ko agar tum
Zara aur saja ke kehte, zara ghooma-phira ke kehte

Agar main kahoon
Tumko jab dekhoon lagti ho jaise nayi
Honthh hain pankhadi phool ki
Aankhein jaise jugnu chamke huwe
Soche mera ye dil dhadakte huwe
Agar main kahoon…
Agar main kahoon ye jo chehra hai
Jaise koyi chaand hai toh kya kahogi

Alka:
Main tumse kahoongi
Mujhko bhoole se bhi chaand tum na kaho
Chaand mein toh kayin daag hai
Mujhe phool na kehna woh murjhaate hain
Jugnu bhi na kehna woh kho jaate hain
Ye baatein puraani hai, jo mujhko sunaani hai
Kissi aur adaa se kehte, zara ghooma-phira ke kehte

Agar main kahoon mujhe tumse mohabbat hai
Meri bas yehi chaahat hai toh kya kahogi

Udit:

Baatein sunke tumhaari main hairaan hoon
Jo bhi kehna hai kaise kahoon
Lagta tumhein kuchh bhi achcha nahin
Sach ko bhi kehti ho sachcha nahin

Alka:
Agar main kahoon..
Agar main kahoon tumhein pata nahin hai kyun
Hai pyaar mujhe bhi tumse toh kya kahoge
