The Fast and the Furious
Replace the cars with bikes, and the rest of the movie story
line is almost same. In TFATF there is a gang of thieves
that use high speed cars for performing highway truck robbery.
And speed driver undercover cop is used to track down the
thieves who joins the gang. There are many car races (illegal)
in the movie.
In Dhoom there is a gang of robbers that use high speed
bikes to rob banks and get away. A speed biker is infiltrated
in the gang by the police for catching them. And yes, there
are illegal bike racing in the movie.
Ocean's Eleven
Ocean's Eleven is a movie about the robbery of a
casino in Las Vegas during the festival season when there
is a record amount of money in its vault. This movie is
about the high tech robbery of that high security vault
by a group of highly specialized robbers.
In Dhoom the same group of robbers do the robbery of a
casino in Goa on new year festive time when there is a record
amount of money in its vault. This high tech vault is to
be robbed. Though they tried a lot to make it high tech,
but nothing worked and the robbery turned out to be a low
tech affair, utterly unconvincing.
Its sequel (Dhoom 2) is expected in 2006. Lets see if it
is also a copy of some other movie!
Also note, the Dhoom's wiki link (see related links below)
attributs the movie to be loosely based on French movie
Taxi (1998). But the story line does not match the same.
