Dhoom 3

I have been a fan of the Dhoom movies from the first time I passingly heard the main theme. Out of the three I have seen, Dhoom 3 has to be my favorite for several reasons. Firstly, I thought it was better thought out than the previous (even if I love them so much). It was refreshing to see the "villain" of the movie having a reason to perform these grand heists. The storyline was superb and had me hooked within minutes. The English subtitles were much improved. It was much easier to understand the translation, and much is mostly due to it's success.Growing up outside of Chicago, I was thrilled that the movie mainly took place "in my home town." It was extremely fun to pick out familiar landmarks and see them in full glory in a foreign film. I thought they did a brilliant job at highlighting some of Chicago's most beautiful features, as well as Chicago's early roots as an industrial hub (with the industrial tap sequence). It was also nice to see, what I perceived as, a few nods towards some of the great cop chases from The Blues Brothers movies. --It had me giggling like a small child. These factors even got my parents, who are not fans of Bollywood at all, to watch the movie. They thoroughly enjoyed it as well as I, even if upon first seeing Aamir Khan and our immediate thoughts were, "When did Mr. Bean turn into such badass?!" --Mind you, a very handsome and young Rowan Atkins.The music is fantastic as always. There is not a single song that is not catchy. Every piece makes me want to get up and dance. The score is energizing and breathtaking. It leaves you in awe. The choreography? Absolutely stunning.The only issues I had with the film, which are extremely minor, were a few things. One, being the $20 bill used. Those bills didn't come out until well after 1998. It's understandable though, considering it's extremely rare to come across an old $20. The other, was the dam. To my knowledge, we do not have dams like that in Illinois. We have locks, but those could never be confused with a damn. It's no biggie either, considering the ending is so heart wrenchingly beautiful. Lastly, and it wasn't that noticeable, was the apartment Jai, Ali and Victoria are in after Jai and Ali refuse to return to India. We don't have mountains in Illinois. Illinois is pretty much flat with the exception of some particularly large hills. There were a few other little discrepancies, but none of them are big enough plot holes to merit a lower rating.Truthfully speaking, Dhoom 3 has easily become one of my favorite movies. It is never not a good day to watch Dhoom 3. The endearing nature of the film (no spoilers here, folks, sorry) leaves me feeling warm and fuzzy, while the total badassitude of the characters and plot has my full focus.Plain and simple, this movie is frickin' awesome!~Blessed be and merry meet

Beautiful throughout and makes your heart soar (especially with the cirque du soliel-esque acrobatic scenes). Such a beautiful back story for the undecided antagonist of the film, and the ending will make sure you remember this wonder for a while. So many beautiful and bittersweet strands woven in this web of a fantastic spectacular for the eyes and soul to behold. Wonderful performance by Aamir Khan and I wish there were more scenes with Katrina Kaif. The second half of the movie brings us back into the world that is thrust upon us in the first arc of the story and will propel you throughout the beautiful story. It has left a mark on me making me want to come back to it soon.

The Dhoom series is truly engrossing, engaging. and enjoyable. Well worth the money (except the later versions, which are a bit beyond expensive).I think the first two were more well-rounded, and the females definitely more watchable/likable in them.But the men are ever great in acting, agility/abilities, and fine eye candy.In this one, the lead Amir, not "handsome," is completely gorgeous, and a fine, fine actor, no less.The female interests in this film were, to me, Blah, and more or less added because they "had" to be.While a truly engrossing film, it did run too long, and should have been shortened, better edited.But it is emotionally quite tugging, and well-done; especially for the one guy playing two parts.(The young boy in it is also a true charmer. As well as the two opposite-natured detectives: great guys.)And since Bollywood is known for music and dancing -- these aspects were outstanding, the dance numbers much like Cirque du Soleil on steroids: amazing to watch, and Amir is totally mesmerizing as a male dancer.Overall, a great trio of films... which were sadly ignored in the U.S. Strange, Bollywood actors are known world-wide and have a huge following; but in the U.S., it's as if they never existed. Not fair....

I had never seen this particular Dhoom movie, but decided to take a chance and buy it. I wasn't sure after seeing this was nearly a 3 hour movie. I thought the first half of the film wasn't as focused as the second half. But, I was really invested shortly after the second half started. The main movie is on the bluray disc, and the special features are on a DVD. The bluray case is a nice heavy duty one, that should hold up well for anyone getting it shipped.I have just ordered the Dhoom 2 bluray. I haven't seen that one since it came out in 2006. I'm looking forward to it!

The Dhoom franchise keeps getting bigger and better with each installment. I have to be honest, I was a bit worried about how Aamir Khan would pull off Dhoom 3 as Hrithik Roshan's performance in Dhoom 2 was just AMAZING but he did a really amazing job. I also liked the fact that Jai (Abishek Bachchan) had grown as a police officer in the course of the movie and you could see his intelligence and his stength really come out in this movie. Ali (Uday Chopra) was his usual bubbly, stupid self but that's ok too as he was funny to watch with his little quirks and mannerisms.I'm also glad that Dhoom 3 did not focus too much on the romantic angle and focused more on the adventure and action. The interesting twist to the story made this Dhoom movie intriguing and really re-affirms Aamir Khan as one of India's greatest actors.

I have watched at least a thousand movies in my 55+ years on this rock and I can say with absolute conviction that this is one of the 5 WORST films I've ever seen. The only reason I gave it one star was that Katrina Kaif is absolutely stunning in the music videos. Other than that, I'll use the DVDs for TARGET PRACTICE, it stinks that much!
