I am damn sure, many will not like this movie, as a simple fact of criticizing every movie of every big actor, its kind of anti-incumbency factor with the ruling government, but if you see it with my eyes, you'll definitely like this movie. Some-over-the-imagination stunts are there, but still this movie is one of the best movie of 2013, and the main reason behind that is the MR. PERFECTIONIST AAMIR KHAN. This is my review of most awaited movie of 2013 - DHOOM 3.
I wanted you all to first watch the movie before reading this para. The story of this movie is - Film starts with a boy who runs to a local Chicago shop(1990 year) to give some of his personal belongings in lieu of some money, we come to know that its Sahir(Siddhath Nigam) whose father Iqbal Haroon Khan(Jackie Shroff) run a circus called as'The Great Indian Circus', but they're now highly in debt, and the Bankers are coming to see a last act performed by them on request of Iqbal, since he wants to save his circus, but the owner of West Chicago Bank Mr. Anderson(Andrew Bicknell) didn't impress from the show, and ask Iqbal to stop the circus and leave the premises within 5 days.
Iqbal shot himself, and then we zoomed into another shot where we see the antagonist Sahir(Aamir Khan) grown up and performing a robbery in a branch of West Chicago bank. He wants to avenge the death of his father, and the only solution is to make the bank goes bankrupt. The bank directors & the Chicago police called the help from India - the famous thief catcher(actually in the previous 2 movies he didn't caught the thief!) ACP Jai Dixit(Abhishek Bachchan) & his sidekick Ali Akbar(Uday Chopra). Will he be able to catch the thief this time, and well there are some twists & turns, go and watch it, I recommend.
If you'll say that Fast & Furious is all about cars, then Dhoom is all about Bikes, you got to see some bike stunts & racing, though you cannot compare with hollywood level, but yes they're good, here as well you'll see some bike stunts & good ones. Dhoom is actually not about a hero, as we have seen, its all about villains, or rather we say anti-hero. In 1st installment, it was John Abraham, then came Hrithik Roshan, and now its the turn of Mr.Perfectionist Aamir Khan. If you don't like Dhoom series, I suggest you to go only for Aamir Khan, he is the lifeline of the movie, some scenes where he is not there in the movie, looks old, boring, but when he is there, those scenes are pretty much to watch.
Whatever he does, he just does it like a class well above many other actors, and it is not hyped. But Aamir Khan believes in doing the best job.
In one scene, when Aamir talks with Abhishek, Aamir obviously looked small in front of Abhishek's height but he is much too higher than Abhishek's stature. The acting of Abhishek & do-not-want-to-mention Uday was stritcly okay, those scene in which they perform looked kind of boring. Other foreign actors did acted well, unlike other Bollywood movies, and the major roles did by Andrew & Tabrett Bethell(played Victoria) were good. I didn't mention Katrina Kaif till now, coz she got a very thin role, unlike Aishwarya's role in Dhoom 2, she didn't have much to do. Other actor who comes up well is the actor who played young Sahir, Siddharth Nigam, he was too good in his scenes, must watch. You have high-chase scenes, special effects, good bike stunts, I loved especially the highly altered bike-mechanism. Aamir's bike was fitted with so many accessories, and is highly alterable, it can convert to anything, and the VFX showing that are too good. Many stunt scenes have good vfx and nicely done, but some stunt scenes go beyond the power of imagination, which could be avoided, because it look bad to even think of that. A scene where Sahir bombed the bank building's name, and the one where Abhishek is hanging from a helicopter, were pretty ordinary.
Movie is long, goes for almost 3 hrs(our show started at 18:30 & ended up at 21:40), the movie's 1st and 2nd half are equally balanced, and what a point for interval, well as you know that this movie has its share ofa major twist which you'll get to see at interval juncture, many will take that concept a bit not okay, they will definately think a poor concept, but for me it was an awesome twist and a wonderful concept which I imagined right at the beginning. Story seems a copy from a Hollywood movie, it looks like that, but I am yet to find any such movie(people are saying its copied from "Now You See Me", whose plot looks similar but it was also released in 2013 & not before, so I doubt, if Dhoom 3 is copied from that movie), movie is directed and co-written by Vijay Krishna Acharya, he has direted'Tashan' before this, and is also a dialogue & screenplay-writer.
Dialogues are good especially the characteristic dialogue of the movie said by Aamir & Jackie's characters.
The music is not that upto the mark, given by Pritam, but still I liked the song esp. the Dhoom theme song(sung by Aditi Singh Sharma), it has a different hip-hoppy beats to it, sound much better than part 2's dhoom theme. Other songs which I liked are Malang(Siddharth Mahadevan, Shilpa Rao), Tu hi Junoon (Mohit Chauhan) & Bande hainhum uske(Shivam Mahadevan, Anish Sharma). But the background score perfectly gels to the theme of the movie, given by Julius Packiam. The setup is good, and every bit the movie looks like shot fully in Chicago, giving the real feel, and as you know an action movie(that too with racing kind of stuff) requires good shot angles, and here also the cinematography is too good.
Movie starts well, goes into somewhat boring, but then reach its highest point in interval, and then ends well, and I waill say that even with its flaws, it a must watch for once. And even when Abhishek Bachchan was saying that "Dhoom is his & Uday's movie, and they're the hero of the movie", but don't go by their words, they're there because director have no choice, but this movie totally belongs to Aamir Khan, and you should watch this movie for him only. I rate 4/5.

ummeedon ke suraj nikle charon aur
Iraade hain fauladi, himmati har kadam
apne haathon kismat likhne, aaj chale hain hum"
