Looking at his filmography, I wonder what was the reason he decided to drop out of Dhoom 3 as a director, leaving behind a big franchise like Dhoom which he helped create, and the answer is that he didn’t want to get stuck in that cycle. In 2020, he made his web debut with the 60-minute action film Operation Parindey starring Amit Sadh & Rahul Dev and the less we talk about it the better. It’s been over 10 years since Sanjay Gadhvi last directed a feature-length big-screen entertainer. The movie received flak from the critics and failed at the box office.įour years later, he directed the Jackky Bhagnani & Arjun Rampal starrer Ajab Gazabb Love. Post-release of Dhoom 2, Gadhvi had become one of the most sought-after filmmakers but then it all went downhill for him from thereon.Īfter Dhoom 2, his next film was keenly awaited and two years later, he directed Kidnap starring Sanjay Dutt, Imran Khan & Minissha Lamba. He followed it up with his second film Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai (2002) which was a box-office success.īut, it was his third film that became a smash box office hit and turned the careers of Abhishek Bachchan & John Abraham around - Dhoom (2004).ĭhoom became a pop culture phenomenon and Sanjay Gadhvi followed it up with an even bigger blockbuster that broke all the box office records at the time of its release - Dhoom 2 (2006). He started his directing career with the low-budget 2001 film Tere Liye which boasted good music but was a box office failure.
Something similar happened with Sanjay Gadhvi.
Imagine making two of the most loved action films in the Hindi film industry and creating a blockbuster franchise only to fade into oblivion post that! While the third instalment was helmed by Vijay Krishna Acharya of Tashan & Thugs of Hindostan fame, the first two highly successful & acclaimed instalments were directed by Sanjay Gadhvi. And the third part starred Aamir Khan as the villain and broke the box office in 2013. The second part featured Hrithik Roshan as the antagonist and released in 2006. The first part of the franchise was released in 2004 featuring John Abraham as the villain. One of the biggest film franchises of Indian cinema is Yash Raj Films’ Dhoom series starring Abhishek Bachchan & Uday Chopra.
