Dhoom: Here is every super bike that has featured in the Dhoom series
Dhoom is considered to be one of the best Bollywood franchises. The combination of star power, fast bikes and foot-tapping music has proven successful
While Hollywood has its own Fast and Furious franchise, Bollywood has its own Dhoom franchise. First appearing on the big screen with the 2004 film, Dhoom, the Yash Raj Films-backed franchise has proven to be enormously successful with filmgoers, especially the younger demographic. The eclectic mix of star power, Pritam's foot-tapping chartbusters and the appearance of some of the fastest performance bikes once can only dream of owning have contributed to making the Dhoom franchise a one of its kind franchise in Indian cinema, let alone Bollywood.
With each film, the Dhoom franchise has raised the standards of action scenes in Indian cinema. The antagonists of all of the Dhoom films, John Abraham (Dhoom), Hrithik Roshan (Dhoom 2) and Aamir Khan (Dhoom 3) have proven to be worthy adversaries for series regulars A.C.P Jay Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan) and his partner, Ali (Uday Chopra). And each film has seen the introduction of some of the most beautiful and fastest motorbikes on screen.
