Hello Guys.
Normally, I write reviews only in 2 cases, one, when I like something very much and second is when I hate something. Obviously DHOOM 3 review belongs to second case.
Very first, if you are Amir fan or Amir lover, then quit reading right away, this review is not for you.
Lets get going with the review.
Starcast - Why Amir, what was wrong with Hritik? Amir or his personality does not fits this role at all. He has showcased minimal acting skills and expressions. Although he has too much of screen presence through out the movie but all in vain. Only one big bonus for Amir fans, which I will not disclose. During bike chases he has maintained a strict one expression, or may be the stuntmen are wearing same mask all the time.
Abhishek Bachchan & Uday Chopra did what was expected from them. Katarina, the baby doll, as usual has a role limited to 2-3 songs and 2-3 lines to speak in broken tongue rolling hindi. Thats it, No one else has any role to play in the entire movie.
Music & Background score - Music or songs, I watched the movie last night last show and to be honest or frank, I dont remember any song. Background score is too harsh and too much of use of Dhoom theme across the movie played in harsh instruments which surely takes the toll.
Special Effects - Krish 3 scores much higher in this segment. High speed biking scenes, if observed closely are not high speed at all, if your eyes are smart enough, bikes are much slowers and camera is much faster. Entry of Amir, running down the tall building, you can easily make out that his feet are barely or not even touching the building walls. I guess, BMW will commit suicide after seeing the capabilities added to their bikes by bollywood. Mixing of foreground with background(old days super impose), object outlines are clearly scene. Stunt and special effects directors tried to create many WOW scenes but failed.
First scene of Auto Rikshaw stunt, in some front angles, rikshaw looks like cutout in front of the camera and stunts performed by rikshaw, atleast indians wont believe that an auto can perform this way.
So on special effects and Amir point of view, they have tried to present all larger than life. Failed drastically.
Cinematography & Art direction - on this front movie scores little better. Sets used for Circus opening show / song are very impressive. Some locations do major roles in nice cinematic experience, same is the case for these shots. Hidden arrangements mechanism for performing magics in the show are shown much in detail and gets little closer to hollywood finish. Cinematic experience is overall good not great.
Story / Plot - Mix bag of thrill, action, some old stuff and one surprise.I wont disclose this surprise. He is shown to run a circus, but that show looks more of a magic & dance show, why? dont ask me, no girls with small skirts, no animals, even bank owner complains the same so did my son;). Some major flaws, the circus hall is same through out the movie but the performance stage is so flexible to look small as well as huge at the same time.
Logic - Totally no logic movie. Dragged for almost 3 hours, delivers less, always raises viewer's expectations but delivers way low than increased expectations.
Amir fans my love this movie as many have already rated this movies as 4 or 5 stars in many other reviews. Kids may be happy for biking, and for kids, parents will be forced to contribute more towards crossing 200 CR mark.
All in all, left me wondering why Amir? why not Hritik's dhoom 2 magic repeated? Even if you dont watch, nothing to loose, within 1-2 months it will be showcased on TV.
Oh.lets not drag this review for 3 hours.
Bye for this time, hoping to get to penn down a nice review on real good movie very soon.
Enjoy New Year, dont drink and drive. Have a happy and safe new year.
