The film presents an intriguing blend of thrilling heists, intense action sequences, humor, and a dash of romance, solidifying its position as one of the most successful entries in the Dhoom franchise.

In this adrenaline-fuelled sequel of Dhoom, Hrithik Roshan plays the character of Aryan, also known as ‘Mr. A’ - a skilled, globe-trotting thief who is infamous for his audacious, flawless heists where he leaves behind his signature ‘A’.

Following the heists committed by Aryan, Abhishek Bachchan returns as the suave and determined ACP Jai Dixit, one of the few characters carried forward from the first instalment of the franchise.

Sunehri, a small-time thief with big aspirations, enters the plot under intriguing circumstances and complexities further unfold when she crosses paths with Aryan and ACP Jai Dixit. Her character serves as an integral part of the plot and adds an alluring layer of suspense and romance to the story.
