Dhoom 3 Review

REVIEW : Follow The Cinema Company

 Dhoom series is famous for high octane action sequences, high tech robbery scenes, edge of the seat bike chases and of course the style quotient of the antagonist. All the two earlier versions delivered the results and now we are into the third installment of the series that has Aamir Khan enacting the anti hero role. Of course the two regulars of Dhoom series Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra are reprising their earlier roles of the police officer and police helper.

The film, a cat and mouse game between a police officer and a robber promised much along with pre release hype, expectations were naturally high. Now the question is whether Dhoom 3 directed by Vijay Krishna Aacharya has lived up to that hype.

In terms of action and thrills, D3 is definitely entertaining and deliver what it promised. For a hardcore fan of the franchise, the film offers more than what is expected and it is entertaining than the two earlier versions. But as you all know the basic thread of all these films are one and the same. The difference lies in how the treatment is done and for D3 along with well executed stunts and action sequences on a bigger canvas than the predecessors, it is Aamir Khan who takes the movie to the next level.

So from an entertaining perspective, the film scores well and that serves the ultimate objective of the series. The length of the film (close to three hours) is one factor that goes against the film. Not that it makes you bored but a trimmed version would have been more enjoyable. Also the climax could have been better.

The story happens in Chicago where Sahir (Aamir Khan) robs a bank, the robbery continue as a series and for this Sahir has a purpose and reason. Enter Jai (Abhishek) and Ali ( Uday Chopra)to nab him and the rest is all predictable and familiar story we have seen. But there are ample doses of action and stunt to entertain you.

On the flip side, the length was a dampener that at times makes you bored. The introduction scene of Aamir Khan was a treat for the eyes but the auto rickshaw scene where Abhishek and Uday gets introduced was on the disappointing side. Uday Chopra though he is a regular in all previous films, his funny scenes was irritating while the climax deserved a better treatment.

On the acting front, it is Aamir Khan all the way. With due credit to John Abraham and Hrithik Roshan, Aamir is the perfect anti hero. Abhishek Bachan did his part with conviction but Uday Chopra was a misfit and also irritating. Katrina Kaif do not have much to do but still she did her role quite well. Jackie Shroff in a brief role also impressed as father of Aamir Khan.

Cinematography,
background score and editing stood out among the technical area with not so impressive music by Pritham.

Overall Dhoom 3 scores for Aamir Khan's screen presence and well choreographed action sequences and I am giving 3.25 / 5. Enjoy the double power.
