Dhoom Girls: Katrina Kaif turns it on, but Aishwarya Rai still rules

The phrase ‘Dhoom Girl’ usually brings to mind the image of a slim, tall, shapely and attractive woman dressed in skimpy clothes who compels men in her vicinity to give her a second look.
 
A ‘Dhoom Girl’ has to fulfill certain criterion - she has to have a perfect body, beautiful hair, and stunning features and dance to rock your world.

Katrina Kaif was sidelined from the first trailer of 'Dhoom:3' and the anticipation to see the latest Dhoom girl was growing.

They launched Katrina with the song "Dhoom machale". The number is a signature of the franchise and both Esha Deol (Dhoom) and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (Dhoom:2) were sizzling hot in their earlier versions.

But Katrina Kaif "doesn't impress me much". Is she hot? Oh yes, she is hotness personified.

Katrina shows some very steamy moves, dances her heart out, dancing in the rain wearing clothes best suited for a mannequin - she does all the tricks in the book to make her look sexy.

All these are expected from a 'Dhoom girl', so what's new in the plate for us viewers.

Katrina Kaif's "Sheila Ki Jawani" was titillating, "Chikni Chameli" was sensually rustic, her "Zara Zara Touch Me" too was hot and here she tried to top all of that.

The actress is getting repetitive and fails to raise the bar like what we expect a 'Dhoom' franchise to deliver.

Katrina is gorgeous in every frame of the song, but the energy of the music is quite low.

The whole show is screaming loud for some freshness.

Yash Raj Film's 'Dhoom' series believes in getting only hot and 'bikini worthy' heroines on board to play the lead role. The third edition is no exception and Katrina Kaif too is expected to sizzle on screen like her predecessors.
 
The model-turned Bollywood star has been sweating it out to look her svelte best.

Her personal trainer Yasmin Karachiwala did some hard work and had planned a new fitness regime as her role calls for flexibility, physical strength and agility.

She is by no means a 'Barbie Doll' anymore.

Katrina tries to erase any memories left behind by the other ‘Dhoom’ actresses Esha Deol (long forgotten) and Aishwarya Rai (on her never-ending sabbatical).

But comparisons are bound to happen. And the 'Dhoom 2' girl Aishwarya Rai gave a stellar performance.

The former Miss World was scintillating and seductive like one would have never expected from her. She made her fans go crazy with "Crazy Kiya Re" and "Dhoom Machale".

(Dhoom:2)

Her svelte frame with the right amount of charm, loaded with oomph factor resulted in a potent concoction which worked in her favor as her audiences couldn’t get enough of this 'Dhoom 2' actress.

However, while Aishwarya and Hrithik Roshan set the pulse rate racing in "Dhoom Again" and Tata Young got naughty with John Abraham in "Dhoom Dhoom" in Dhoom, Katrina dances without Aamir Khan in the 'Dhoom 3' title track.

The reason why Dhoom Machale went viral for the first time was because of its offbeat stylish look and feel.

Decide for yourself who beats whom in the race for the hottest “Dhoom Machale Dhoom” girl.
