It's hard to recall which was Yash Raj Films' last action film before Dhoom. This has been a production house known for mounting pure and impassioned romantic tales that can only exist in fairy tales. The definition of true love found a new meaning with their brand of cinema. Dhoom, which came out in 2004, was, in a way, something refreshing for all of the people involved.

This was YRF's first foray into the action genre after years, it presented John Abraham like never before, it gave Uday Chopra a character that would become unforgettable, and it also gave Abhishek Bachchan his maiden blockbuster four years after his debut. But beyond all this, Dhoom was a film we could sit and enjoy, not bothering about the inanities and only enjoying the immense fun.
