Prime Video also shared a video montage of thrilling bike sequences from the film and mentioned, “An indefinite number of people can recall having Dhoom as their favourite film as a teenager. It’s a film that fueled our obsession of sports bikes, it’s been 18 years and things still haven’t changed a lot, all of us still are Ali at heart, making elaborate scenarios in our head at our crush’s mere existence.”
Sharing their love for the film, fans dropped comments like, “John carried the whole movie, still can’t believe this was one of his earliest works in the industry,” “Dhoom has its cult following,” “The real OGs,” “A good time to revisit this classic – a movie that started it all and still stands tall.”
