Dhoom 3 - Thrice the entertainment...

Dhoom 3 -

Prologue: Dhoom and Dhoom 2 were not spectacularly great films. Nonetheless they were entertaining. So the people who are disappointed with Dhoom 3, either hadn't seen the earlier installments and went with expectations of seeing a movie about a dyslexic boy riding bikes (could have been titled "Bechaare Zameen Par") or they are those Hollywood aficionados who can tolerate similarly inconceivable action scenes and logical loop-holes in the screenplay if it is an English film (e.g. Fast & Furious series) till the time it entertains. Infact I thought Dhoom 3 had more of a plot as compared to all six Fast & Furious films ;-) So for these set of people my review is going to be highly disappointing.

Review: Dhoom 3 delivers on all the promises of this franchisee and in fact it over delivers both in terms of entertainment and best-in-class production values. Presence of Aamir Khan actually enhances the franchisee because for the first time in Dhoom series one gets to see top notch acting apart from its regular elements of high octane chase sequences, high quality stunts (even if they are implausible) and hot looking girls in Katrina Kaif and Tabrett Bethell.

Aamir Khan has done this kind of role for the first time and he aces in presenting different facets effortlessly. For a change even Uday Chopra nails his character sketch right. Katrina Kaif looks and moves every bit like a Goddess of Beauty. She has never looked this stunning before. Cinematorgraphy, visual effects and BMW bikes - all are way better than what one expects in a Hindi Film. The songs 'Malang' and 'Kamli' are exquisitely shot. In nutshell, the film is fast paced and thoroughly entertaining.

Post Ghajini, this is the second Aamir Khan film, which has borrowed something from Christopher Nolan's film. But unlike, what others would like you to believe, the plot itself hasn't been borrowed. The only two things which I thought could have been done better were - 1. They should have created a more tense and satisfactory climax 2. They should have at least shown one heist actually happening.

Otherwise, no complaints :-)

P.S.
1. Most of the guys including me wanted the song 'Kamli' to be longer by few more lines :-)
2. There are 16 films - English and Hindi - Good and Bad - watched over past 4 months, about which I haven't written. WORK overpowering passion. It is time I bring some Dhoom back into LIFE.
