Dhoom (Hindi: धूम, English: Blast) is a Bollywood film and the first installment in the Dhoom series. It is produced by Yash Raj Films' Aditya Chopra (son of Yash Chopra) and was released in 2004. Earning over Rs. 42 crore ($9 million USD), the film became one of the top-grossing Indian films of 2004. This was the first action film made by Yash Raj Films in 19 years, since Vijay (1988), and brought in a new genre of movies akin to the fast paced motorcycle-robbery dramas. Its sequel, Dhoom 2, was released in 2006 in India. Both movies were based on the French Taxi series by Luc Besson.
The story starts in the city of Mumbai where a motorcycle gang starts breaking into banks and other public places and vanishing on the Western Express Highway.
ACP Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan) a no-nonsense cop, is called inside the case. He is married to Sweety (Rimi Sen). Jai seeks the help of a thief named Ali (Uday Chopra) and devises a trap to catch the gang, but it fails. Kabir (John Abraham), the leader of the gang, eventually taunts Dixit by saying that he couldn't catch him even if he were right in front of him.
