Re: The Dhoom 3 Hindi Movies
Wan Cabiness
i've been getting into Bollywood by picking movies at random, so i'm coming from a place of total ignorance here. i saw the trailer for Dhoom 3 and it looks awesome, but the trailers for the first two don't seem as interesting. What do y'all think, do i need to watch the trilogy in order or can i start with the third one?
Movie stars were originally called stars for the bright, glittery aspects of the heavenly bodies in question, but there's another quality that true stars, especially those of Aamir Khan's caliber possess, which is gravitational pull. "Dhoom: 3" doesn't attempt to resist this force in any way, with only the bare minimum of pretense that the "Dhoom" movies are Abhishek Bachchan/Uday Chopra buddy comedies anymore, putting the focus squarely on the story of Sahir Khan (played as a child by Siddharth Nigam and as an adult by Aamir Khan), a circus performer seeking revenge against Anderson (Andrew Bricknell), the cruel banker who ruined his father's life's work for no good reason.
The moment at which Jai realizes he's been had immediately precedes a game-changing (to put it mildly) twist, which shouldn't be spoiled. The second half of "Dhoom: 3" features a surprisingly adroit, if not terribly subtle, interrogation into the the morality of operating outside the law for a good cause. The movie stacks the deck a bit by having the banker be such a loathsome (and implicitly racist) bastard, but Aamir Khan and Abhishek Bachchan do a compelling job exploring the various moral and ethical colors involved in the cops-and-robbers game. Khan brings out the best in Bachchan as an actor, with his performance in "Dhoom: 3" finally shorn of the awkwardness and dullness into which his work in the first two movies all too often regressed. This, again, is a testament to the control Khan exerts over the movie: never heavy-handed, but absolute.
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.
