Greetings MS Readers, I'm back after a long time to share you my review on the most awaited film of the year. I've been an avid fan of the franchise and been waiting for so long since Dhoom 2 was a major disappointment.
My favorite was obviously the first installment as it had enough originality and amazing action scenes for its time and also I'm a regular Hollywood moviegoer and I've seen almost every good action film out there. So id expect intelligent action and a complex plot.
I've seen the trailers and was able to gather almost the entire plot of the movie and the action sequences, but was optimistic that it would be at least better than Dhoom 2, but I was so wrong.
Apart from the fantastic and intense performance of Aamir Khan, there was literally nothing that would make you interested or even sit at the theater. I don't know how everyone are going gaga over the movie, saying its the best movie they ever seen which totally puzzles me, I'm sure there are many people out there who would agree to what I'm saying.
Let me tell you in detail my observations which has made me disappointed. Guys I must warn you that there are gonna be spoilers.
Plot: Its about a Father & his young son who run a circus in Chicago, but the bank loan is denied thus forcing them to shut it down and the father committing suicide. Now seeking to avenge the death of his father, AK plans to rob all the branches of the bank and also rebuild the circus. In the process he must also face the duo Jai-Ali who go to all sorts of extreme measure with the help of Chicago Police to capture him.
Direction: Having a run time of about 3 hours, you'd expect the movie experience to be thrilling since its known for its action and pacy screenplay. But it ends out to be annoying and irritating. The action sequences were incomplete, cars flying all over the place, you'll observe that the Chicago Police Dept are to be the dumbest in the world. Stupid 1 liners and plain storytelling.
Visuals & Cinematography: Just because its released in IMAX format and shots taken in Chicago, every scene looks visually stunning. But there s nothing extraordinary
Acting: If not for Aamir Khan this movie would have sucked big time & been a total disaster.
Abhishek & Uday make a mockery at everything they do. Katrina only has to be there for aerobatics and raunchy dance moves, are the rest of them do an okay job.
Songs & Background Score: The BS is real headache and u feel the wrong instruments are being played sometimes or else there s no music being played at all. Songs are just okay. The main theme song was almost the same as the last one.
Action Scenes: The biggest drawback is the detail, they always show the scenes after the robbery the finished and Run & Chase sequence but not how the actual robbery takes place. In all of the scenes, the police place roadblocks but the robber easily evades them and none of them even fires a single bullet. The bank gets robbed thrice but still doesn't increase the security systems, the swat team do not wear oxygen masks or bullet vests and run around all over the place. There are more but I don't have the patience to type it all.
Verdict: Can be watched with family?: Yes . Its definitely a 1 time watch, and don't shell out big bucks to watch this instead spend that money for a nice meal in a restaurant.
