My first Bollywood movie!! Though this is not the first Bollywood movie I have seen it is my first in theaters. I watched Krishh 3 bootlegged on a four hour bus ride and could not understand a thing. I was nervous going to see this because there are no subtitles but I managed pretty well and my friend, who speaks Hindi, filled me in on anything I might have missed.
Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharaya this is the (obviously) third movie in the Dhoom trilogy and from my understanding it is the worst one so far. The Dhoom movies previously have followed two Mumbai cops A.C.P Jai Dixit (played by Abhishek Bachchan) and Ali (played by Uday Chopra) who through stunts and humor catch a thief of some sorts. Though the two are in the third movie their roles are reduced to supporting actors and Aamir Khan shines instead. Khan, playing the role of Samir/Samar is the antagonist/protagonist as he is nearly every scene.
Meanwhile, Sahir is looking for a female dancer/singer/circus performer who has a nice butt and perky breasts a lot of passion for being in the circus. Enter Aaliya (Katrina Kaif). Sahir tells her that she will be hired if her audition is so impressive that he cannot take his eyes of her.
Jai tells the bank owner that he hopes the robber strikes again as this will be the perfect chance to catch him. Then, of course, like a responsible cop, Jai goes on to saying on national fucking television that if the robber tries to rob the bank again, it would be a suicide mission.
There is no real security down there. This guy manages to get off the cord, get on a fucking vehicle (ought to take a couple of minutes) and make a run for it. He is soon chased by tamed chimpanzee Ali, and we see lots of bike action again.
Behind closed doors, an unwanted investigator, Inspector Jai Shitworth, holds a meeting with bank owner Mr Anderson and tells him about how the robbery is linked to The Great Indian Circus suicide 25 years ago.
On their date, Samar and Aaliya have had a great time. She tells him he has two personalities (one being her boss, and the other this sweet guy). When asked which side of him she likes best, she says something rather prophetic and with dual connotations.
Like how fucking long is this film?
Why did I ever decide to write this piece?
Why did Aamir commit this amazing careericide?
What is in the fridge?
Am I out of flaming hot Cheetos?
Is there a life after death?
As usual the SWAT team and Jai and Ali are late to the building. Sahir has already made it to the top and has released an extremely toxic gas that is making SWAT guys drop like flies! They have to be carried outside the building immediately.
Can I just stop and say that mankind has never seen cops as incompetent as Jai and Ali, now known to me as Sack-o-shit 1 and Sack-o-shit 2. Seriously, who hired these guys? I thought cops did well after being dismissed.
This is such a brilliant depiction of what the movie was in reality. The amount of stupidity we showcase in our movies is an embodiment of the fact that we go after fame, glamour and flamboyance rather than substance and realism. I really hope you continue this, and the people who make such a movie feel ashamed of themselves. This was a master piece. Thank you for making this.
I have read a review so accurate in my entire life. Bollycrap is written by goofs who are totally retarded as this piece of craps proves. I just wonder why the fvck people watch this shit.
Do more of reviews. 99%.movies coming out of Bolly are crap so you will never run out of material. Lol!
Finally the wait is over for so many fans; the latest installment of the Dhoom franchise is here. With a star cast that promises to be a powerful movie, both in terms of acting and action; this is one movie that everyone has been waiting so earnestly all through the year. Dhoom 3 however, happens to be the perfect example of how spectacular, disappointments turn out to be. A story that smells of Christopher Nolan all through; it just hangs on for the average movie goer. One would expect that a movie which copies from The Prestige and The Dark Knight Rises would have a good story atleast. But unfortunately, that is not the case with Dhoom 3.
At some point in time, we see the sexy Asian lady who can sing and dance like liquid electricity a.k.a. Katrina Kaif or lady long legs. Fortunately for the movie goer, the director, Vijay Krishna Acharya has very prudently left any dialogues for the other actors and spared Katrina from making an acting fool of herself again. Limiting her outfits to sports bras, circus outfits and skimpy clothes that gets removed layer by layer, we do not notice that Katrina has absolutely no impact on the story whatsoever. Her appearance in the songs seems not only unmotivated but unjustified and absolutely unnecessary.
The film inspite of having so many negatives, has a few positives too. In the entry scene of ACP Jai, we see how an Indian auto has the strength of breaking away brick walls one after another without any scratch in its windshield It just makes you proud of the ubiquitous Indian auto. The dance sequences of Katrina are a treat to watch, even if the music of Pritam is missing the touch of the music that we saw in Dhoom 2. The VFX effects seems more realistic than lots of other current movies, still the director and the VFX experts would do some good to themselves if they once again learnt some of the basics of physics and mathematics.
A franchise that has created such a name and has such a huge fan following should have given something better than what we got. Perhaps, Dhoom 4 (if there is one) would be better than this. Still, Dhoom 3 gets full points for direction, cinematography and special effects and absolutely no points for story.
