Bored with the way your R15 looks? Want to ‘modify’ it to make it look like something more exclusive but don’t have enough dough? Don’t mind a ‘jugaad’ of a mod-job?

The latest Dhoom 3 Trailer comes to your rescue if you replied in affirmative to all the above!

The latest trailer of Dhoom 3 is suddenly all over the cyber space and gives us a glimpse of the action that the upcoming Dhoom 3 promises to bring along. It also gives us a glimpse of a R15, which is trying a tad too hard to pass off as a BMW S1000RR! Yes, if you have a good look at the lead image (courtesy: Rushlane), it can be seen that while Abhishek and Uday have been shown riding a BMW S1000RR in the upper half of the image, they are seen perched upon a Yamaha YZF-R15 in the lower image. It is interesting to note the way the movie makers have tried to ‘camouflage’ the R15 to make it look like a S1000RR. Little do they seem to know that we know better than to fall for some really ‘cheap tricks’.

The new Theatrical Trailer

Taking into account that the Dhoom 3 is an ‘action packed’ movie, the producers probably resorted to using a R15 (Costs approx INR 1.2 lakhs) instead of the BMW S1000RR (Costs approx INR 20 lakhs) during some of the ‘more dramatic’ action shots, probably in a bid to keep the Beamer away from potential damage.

"Because we are too cool to wear a helmet"
“Because we are too cool to wear a helmet”

And the fact that both the riders have been shown WITHOUT a helmet means that the movie makers receive some more flak from us. There is no denying the fact that youngsters look up to these actors (and movies like Dhoom) and often resort to similarly crazy antics in a bid to mimic them.

Finally, before you may decide to try and advocate the stupid antics shown in the trailer, please relax, calm yourself a little and ask yourself- Is this what you really want a Made in Bollywood bike flick to be like?

 PS- Dhoom 3 release date- December 10

Special thanks to our friends at Rushlane for the pics

  1. This is the magic of the dhoom series movie and as we all know tha movie also got a outstanding response from its trailers lets hope if the movie do well too.

  2. The point of the post is very well understood. We all knw that a replica has been used. But such an over reaction is stupid. See replicas used in other movies I mentioned, they look a lot worse than R15. And I dont think, in a released version the replica wud appear as an eye killer like now. And by the way u have come up with a 3rd story. U said some proper dummy shud have been used, but here ppl r losing their minds just bcoz a dummy is used instead of actual s1000rr..

  3. LOL. The above 2 missed the point of the post. When you are making a big budget film, there must be some authenticity even when using dummy stuff. will you be okay seeing strings attached in an action sequence in a spiderman film? This definitely sucks. But whats even more hilarious is look on abhisake n uday’s face. They trying to look all badass with rage but look like 12 yr old making lame faces.

  4. Really Motoroids, other sites and many posters on facebook have gone crazy about R15 used in Dhoom 3. I dont knw what's wrong with u all. Have u all gone nuts? Surely BMW s1000rr has been used in Dhoom 3. But in few scenes where there's a stunt which wudnt have been so friendly to be done on S1000rr has been done using R15. This is not something new that all of u r loosing your minds behind this. Even in Movies like Torque or Blue (thou Blue was a disaster, but the bike part was awesome) they have used lower cc light bikes to do couple of stunts. What's so big deal about it?
