Review
A
dramatic
conflict
is
what
makes
cinema
tick
and
to
create
such
a
conflict
that
doesn't
defy
the
logic
of
audience
is
hard!
To
begin
with,
the
point
of
Dhoom
franchise
was
never
to
keep
it
real.
It
was
over
the
top
in
its
very
concept,
design
and
ultimately
in
its
sensibility.
Dhoom
3
is
just
another
nitro
charged
addition
to
the
franchise
that
always
has
an
ingredient
set
of
'super
heroes-super
bikes-sexy
chicks'.
Even
though
this
movie
is
an
out
and
out
Aamir
Khan
show,
it
is
not
really
an
Aamir
Khan
film.
For
him,
this
would
be
an
attempt
to
bridge
a
good
relationship
with
YRF.
As
per
the
design
of
the
movie,
Aamir's
performance
is
also
very
over
the
top.
Please
don't
expect
the
Aamir
you
have
seen
in
films
like
Sarfarosh,
Rang
De
Basanti,
Mangal
Pandey
and
Lagaan.
Film
begins
in
Chicago
1990,
in
a
snow
falling
December,
introducing
Aamir
Khan's
childhood.
Aamir's
father,
played
by
Jackie
Shroff,
is
a
legendary
circus
man,
who
own
'The
Great
Indian
Circus'.
The
company
is
in
debt
and
in
a
last
attempt
to
save
the
company,
Shroff
delivers
the
last
show
to
the
bank
authorities.
As
the
authorities
deny
his
request,
he
shoots
himself
and
dies.
Aamir
Khan's
Sahir,
from
then
on,
is
in
a
mission
to
take
revenge
on
the
bank.
In
the
second
half,
Abhishek
Bachchan
(Jai
Dixit)
weaves
a
new
plan
to
capture
him.
Whether
he
successfully
completes
his
mission
or
not
forms
the
rest
of
the
story.

Gets
Overwhelming
Response
At
Box
Office
Jai
Dixit,
Abhishek's
character
goes
to
investigate
a
bank
robbery
an
Indian
committed
in
Chicago.
He
is
called
as
the
best
Indian
Cop
and
he
never
even
goes
with
a
team,
but
with
side
kick
Ali
(Uday
Chopra)
who
is
not
a
certified
cop!
I
was
surprised
how
the
director
underestimates
his
audience
to
this
insane
extent.
To
solve
such
an
easy
case,
Chicago
police
needs
an
Indian
officer's
help,
it
seems!
Where
was
FBI,
if
Chicago
police
can't
do
it!
Oh,
Okay,
this
is
a
story
and
we
need
Jai
and
Ali
to
arrive
in
Chicago
to
continue
the
story
but
it
takes
talent
to
make
the
scene
'believable'.
The
soul
of
cinema
is
'make
belief'.
If
you
can't
make
your
audience
believe
what
you
narrate,
then
you
are
in
trouble
!
Aamir
introduces
himself
to
Jai
(Abhishek)
and
says
he
knows
the
robber.
Jai,
in
fact,
does
not
find
anything
mysterious
in
him.
What
a
cop!
He
doesn't
even
do
what
an
ordinary
cop
would
do
in
such
situations
-
'doubt
everyone'.
And
the
ways
he
chose
to
prove
his
case
is
something
even
children
won't
believe!
The
film
is
fast
paced
and
very
colourful.
There
is
great
precision
in
editing.
Movie
never
lags.
Last
45
minutes
is
the
strength
of
the
film.
Last
bank
robbery
was
choreographed
and
shot
in
a
very
thrilling
but
'over
the
top'
way.
Sometime
the
fight
scenes
are
so
unbelievable
that
you
may
laugh!
There
should
be
a
special
mention
for
Julius
Packiam,
who
composed
the
background
score
for
the
film.
It
is
his
work
that
really
gives
an
emotional
hook
to
many
scenes
which
otherwise
would
have
gone
flat.
Soundtrack
literally
elevates
the
mood
of
last
bank
robbery
scene
and
climax.
There
is
no
big
story
in
this
movie
as
such
movies
never
requires
a
meaty
plot!
Caper-heist
films
work
fine
even
without
a
big
story,
but
the
only
condition
is
such
that
it
shouldn't
insult
one's
logic.
Here,
in
this
film,
antagonist
(villain)
is
a
bank!
A
bank
is
never
a
person.
It
is
a
just
an
economic
system
that
multiplies
money
through
legally
approved
ways.
Taking
revenge
on
a
bank
defies
my
logic
and
that
is
precisely
the
premise
of
the
movie.
If
you
are
a
Dhoom
franchise
fan,
you
may
buy
it!
But
Indian
cinema
has
travelled
so
far
in
the
last
decade,
so
are
the
audience.
We
must
wait
to
see
whether
the
audience
approve
this
premise
of
Dhoom
3.
Performances
Aamir's
performance
is
not
up
to
the
mark
and
it
is
sad
to
see
him
delivering
a
highly
artificial
performance
in
some
key
scenes.
I
couldn't
expect
this
from
the
man
who
did
such
natural
performance
in
his
second
film
Raakh.
Katrina
Kaif
actually
doesn't
have
a
proper
role,
but
has
two
dance
sequences
and
doesn't
even
try
to
prove
her
acting
prowess.
But
of
course,
Kat
looks
hot
and
dances
with
high
energy!
Abhishek
Bachchan
is
excellent
in
some
scenes,
but
very
funny
in
some
'supposed
to
be
serious'
scenes.
To
my
surprise,
Uday
Chopra
is
so
natural
and
funny
in
this
film.

Verdict
Dhoom
3
will
definitely
find
a
place
for
itself
in
the
crowd
and
will
be
enjoyed
by
a
great
number
of
audience.
However,
it
is
not
for
those
who
rely
on
logic
in
the
first
half!
Post
interval,
the
story
heats
up.
Dhoom
target
audience
is
likely
to
'lap
up'
this
treat
and
would
be
the
best
DHOOM
so
far.

Abhishek's
Fights
Are
Very
Artificial
Abhishek's
introductory
fight
tests
the
limits
of
your
logic.
The
film
works
on
an
unreal
plane
and
there
are
lot
of
repetitive
scenes
in
the
first
half.
First
half
of
Dhoom
3
is
a
celebration
of
cliches.
Katrina
Kaif
Has
Nothing
To
Do
Katrina
has
some
energetic
dance
moves
in
Dhoom
3.
I
felt
her
character
is
not
written,
but
just
choreographed
for
two
songs!
A
Heavy
Dose
Of
Melodrama
A
heavy
dose
of
melodramatic
scenes
pop
up
when
Aamir
is
seen
recalling
his
past.
Aamir
Khan
doesn't
have
one
single
scene
to
showcase
his
performing
skills
in
the
first
half.
Katrina
Doesn't
Have
A
Meaty
Role
There
is
a
romantic
angle
between
Aamir
Khan
and
Katrina
Kaif.
Katrina
doesn't
have
much
to
do
in
this
film
and
luckily,
she
has
one
scene
that
leads
to
a
turn
of
events
in
the
film.
Luckily
Second
Half
Holds
The
Movie
Together
Second
half
luckily
has
a
emotional
hook.
The
second
half
purely
belongs
to
Aamir!
It
is
an
Aamir
show
from
there
on
and
I
believe
that
the
last
45
minutes
of
the
film,
filled
with
high
octane
chase
scenes
and
necessary
emotional
hooks,
is
the
strength
of
the
whole
movie.
Action
Scenes
In
Dhoom
That
Make
You
Laugh
Most
action
scenes
in
Dhoom
make
sensible
audience
laugh
because
it
is
beyond
the
concept
of
logic
and
of
course,
gravity.
Aamir
Khan's
Artifical
Performance
Aamir
Khan's
performance
becomes
so
artificial
in
some
scenes
which
you
will
never
expect
this
from
him.
