watched Dhoom2 between riots

Watched Dhoom2 yesterday amongst the riots. Yeah I dunno how, I think luck, but I somehow managed to escape the riots yesterday.
I was on my way home knowing nothing about riots, when my friend Rojo(who was buying tickets for all of us) called and asked me to reach the movie theatre coz his Credit card was locked accidentally, so I de-routed my usual route (where there were stone pelting and the glasses of cars were being shattered, which i was not aware of) and reached the multiplex, got tickets 180Rs per head...gosh-thats-too-expensive...max i paid so far for a movie was 150 bucks in India, plus car parking...too-much-money-for-movie, with that thought in mind and hoping the movie was worth it I reached home via Ambedkar Nagar.
Soon my friend Poo played a bluff on me to inform about the riots saying shes stuck in traffic, blah blah i was tensed while she was just standing at my door(talking to me) ringing the bell,I opened the door and saw her.We were just laughing about it when her bluff became true, my neighbour came over to inform that his car was stopped and glasses broken. Another friend called up and mentioned the same. Now knowing Pune (supposed to be calm and generally not involved in these riots) we were contemplating whether to go or no for the movie. We called each other and we all seemed to be more worried about the movie. we'd invested 180 bucks and were planning for quite a long time. Ruz was supposed to come from the other end of the city via the main city and other Friend Andy was in the city, another was just near Ambedkar Nagar. finally we all decided to go and see the movie, and if we see commotion on our way we turn back.
Okay so strategy planned and with a backup plan of staying at a colleagues place if things got worse, we left the house in my car(hoping no glasses will break).The road which I'd just taken 1/2 hour back was full of shattered glass pieces and Police everywhere. luckily we reached safely to the multiplex and in time and watched the movie with calls in between from friends saying "don't come home, riots started ". Parents saying "Don't come home, stay out of the house" "they burning buses here...where are you...if u want stay in the multiplex itself" etc etc and we happily saw the movie.
So heres my take on the movie.
Overall Movie : Just OK, can watch once, but definitely not worth my 180bucks.
Hrithik : Awesome, handsome, mind blowing, killing looks, smart, confident,6pack abs. He is one sincere actor, who takes his work and his body seriously, am sure he is going to become a biiiiiiig star coz of his attitude and hard work towards perfection.
Abhishek : though he is supposed to be hero, am sure everybody had liking towards Hrithik(the villian), wore full shirts even on the beach when Hrithink and even Ali for the matter(the flop chopra guy..i forgot his name) would flaunt their muscles. Jr.B I think its time you take your body seriously, you have tough competition, John could not steal the crowd as much during D1 as Hrithik did in D2.
Bipasha : looked gorgeous, better than Ash for sure, first role was good, wonder why she was given 2 roles and behave like a dumb in the second half...she was not required there. but she looked good
Ash : oh my she was a total misfit there, dint look good at all, she couldn't carry the character well. the script writer tried to give her a patterned dialog but it was not really 'funny', Mr 'funny guy'
Ali : the flop young son of the chopra family i don't quite recollect his name, made things a little funny initially but later he was annoying too.
Mr Script Writer: the dialogs were quite predictive and boring and too long in some cases, except for one where Hrithik tells Abhishek "chor agar apna kaam nahi karega toh police kya kaam karegi".
Songs: there were too many songs which were not required.
Things that you cant miss: Hrithik's body,Hrithiks acting, the background sceneries, Abhishek's ponge ;), Bips in her bikini , gals thinking why is Hrithik married,(though his wife looks gorgeous too), the gadgets, the initial chase reminded me of Krish he he he, thinking is this circus
My rating is the Director could have done better, I missed the bikes in this movie. all in All see the movie for the hot Hrithik,

Gals : to see how handsome and adorable he looks
Guys : to see how they can build their muscles, a little for gadgets too, plus guys can see bips and ash too.
We all reached home safely and had a nice sleep, with puja dreaming of Hrithik.


While am writing this blog , they just announced in my office today requesting not to leave office until further notice as there are riots going on everywhere. Hope I get lucky again.

Anyway...was just joking...havent seen Dhoom 1, but heard that it was "inspired" from Fast n Furious...so I got "Too fast too furious Tokyo drift" couple of days back ;)

Ok... I think I HAVE to comment here since I was a part of the 180 bucks disposal...!

Mr. Yash Chopra, give your son all the money he wants plus an additional 180 bucks from my side and convince him NOT to act in your movies.

@Risha: Good coverage

Others, stay away from this movie!!!
