'Dhoom' starring Abhishek Bachchan as hero and John Abraham as villain, was a super hit. It was an ordinary cops and robbers film but the direction was stylish and the film became a box office hit.
'Dhoom II' directed by Sanjay Gadhwi has just been released. It stars Abhishek Bachchan, Hritik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai and Bipasha Basu. Encouraged by the success of the first film and Aishwarya being generously glamorous in the 2nd film, the expectations for 'Dhoom II' are quite high.
About 1800 prints of the film have been made. About 1600 prints were made of Shah Rukh Khan's 'Don' and at that time, it was feat in Indian cinema. Now the 1800 prints of 'Dhoom II' has broken Don's record.
Now that so many prints have been made, will the film recover the investment? It seems the 15 crores have been recovered only through reservations already! This recovery even before release of film does not include audio, overseas rights, satellite and cell phone attractions. The total budget of the film is only 35 crores!
