In addition to its stylish stunts, catchy soundtrack, and cool characters, the 2004 action film Dhoom showcased some beautiful locations in India. Let's hop on our imaginary bikes and see what Dhoom showed us!
Mumbai Mayhem:
Marine Drive:
It was a picturesque setting for the high-speed chase between Jai Dixit and the Dhoom gang on Marine Drive: The Queen’s Necklace. With the Arabian Sea on one side and the city skyline on the other, Marine Drive’s scenic promenade is a sight to behold, especially at night when the lights come on.

The tranquil Bandra Lake offers a peaceful escape from the bustling city and is a popular place for picnics and walks. It was featured in a scene involving Ali (Uday Chopra) and ACP Jai.
Film City:
Goregaon’s Film City is a hub for Bollywood filmmaking, and you may even see other movies being filmed here! It is a massive studio complex where many action sequences and heist scenes are shot.

Goa is known for its stunning beaches, palm trees, and laid-back vibe. Relaxation and luxury are popular at the Taj Exotica, which offers breathtaking views of the Arabian Sea.
