It received an 83% approval rating among critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics praised Dhoom 2 for its exotic locales and elaborate action sequences. However, there was an appeal by the Mumbai city police commissioner to censor the fast-paced rash driving scenes due to fears that it would inspire Indian youths to ride their motorcycles rashly, resulting in an increase in the number of road accidents. A sequel titled Dhoom 3 was released on 20 December 2013, which also went on to become the twelfth-highest-grossing Bollywood film to date, and the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time as well at the time of its release.

After the initial investigation, Dixit analyses the underlying trend in Mr. A’s heists. He concludes that the theft will follow in one of 2 famous Mumbai city museums.

When Dixit realizes that the artifact in the museum he is guarding happens to be imperfect, he rushes to the other museum, where a disguised Mr. A steals a rare diamond and escapes. While he is about to catch a flight, Mr. A sees on the TV that someone else claiming to be himself, challenges the police, saying that he will steal an ancient warrior sword.

The police are alerted, but they manage to steal the sword, Shonali is injured in the confrontation and they manage to escape.

Later, after a game of basketball between the two, he finally agrees to work together.

In Rio de Janeiro, Mr. A and Sunehri plan their next heist. As Dixit’s analysis has named Rio the location of Mr. A’s next heist, Jai and Ali travel to the city. There they meet Monali (Bipasha Basu), Shonali’s twin sister, who only speaks English, and Ali immediately falls for her. Later Sunehri meets with Jai to discuss how things are going between her and Mr. A, revealing that they are working together, and Jai is using her by ensuring her freedom from prison.

Meanwhile, the relationship between Mr. A and Sunehri evolves into romance and he unveils his real identity, Aryan, to her. However, during the Rio Carnival, disguised as one of the entertainers, he sees Sunehri and Jai together and realizes that Sunehri has been working undercover for Jai. The next day, Aryan forces Sunehri to play a game of Russian roulette. Sunehri cries and refuses to shoot him, but Aryan forces her to play. After six attempted shots, neither is killed, because Aryan never loaded the gun. Sunehri admits she betrayed Aryan and confesses her love for him.
