Why so serious?. Review on Dhoom 3

Just saw Dhoom 3. My review on it:

Its back after 7 years.and with a bang or let's say Dhoom? Yeah, to an extent.

The main problem with Dhoom 3 is that its predecessor was cool while this one is serious. All the time you sit through the entire film and you wonder why someone as talented as Aamir Khan would wear the same expression through most of the film(and we see him in the most of the film, literally).

Almost in the entire film, you see his brows knitted, nose crinkled and lips crunched in anger as if some annoying little rebellious child is crying and disturbing him while he was watching a movie. You cry revenge Aamir, we get that!

Apart from it, this is definitely a movie which actually takes Bollywood action to a whole new level.The production scale is massive. The grandeur is reflected in every frame of the movie. Everything from costumes to songs and stunt is massive!

Cast:

Aamir khan justifies his role to an extent although he certainly cannot match the cool quotient which Hrithik Roshan had in the previous film but he acts well. He tries a lot to steal the show but he never quite manages to awestruck you. Abhishek shows his potential in the the time frame he got. He is clearly underrated. Uday Chopra was really needed here(not kidding!) in order to make this immensely serious movie a bit light hearted venture. Katrina looks stunning in what she does best. How does she maintain that gorgeously slim body?

Direction:

Err.the direction can be best called inconsistent. There are too many cuts in the chase sequences and Vijay loses hold in the second half of the film although he makes up quite a bit for it in the climax chase sequence. His shot taking is the best it can get in an action film.Editing could have been better.

Story and Screenplay:

This Dhoom is different from all the action movies out there. Cause this one has a heart. This is not only a good looking ferrari but has a seriously good engine too. You cannot get a better script in an action movie than this.

The screenplay is good but you feel it could have been better. The second half makes you shift in your seats and looks like that the movie is just stretched too long. No other character than Aamir's is well crafted and characterized. Maybe, it was editing that had to do with the problem. Here, it is never shown how the thief performs the robbery instead its just the chase sequences leaving you quite dissatisfied with the film.

Music:

Music here is easy to ears at most. Title track is quite good and Malang one is grand.

Other than that, songs come and go, and you never notice them.

Conclusion:

Its not a movie where I expect you whistle or get that bone-chilling and nerve-wrecking experience. The stunts are awesome and unbelievable ones are shown with great sincerity which makes them quite believable. There are loop holes in the films but other aspects overpower it. The movie is like 3 star for most of the part but manages to cater one more as the climax finishes. Its a film that should be watched at 300 rupee ticket at most for it to be satisfying.

Rating:

4/5

or

400 ki ticket pe 320 vasool.(It may be less if you are obsessed with Hollywood blindly)

Serious note:(no offence intended)

People who are comparing this film with Hollywood action movies should know that you cannot compare Micromax with an iPhone, you should realize that our own homegrown product is actually improving and is good as it can be and  should feel proud for it. Plus, if you don't get that still, we have 3 idiots and many more family entertainers, what do you have?

P.S. Even I love Avengers and Bonds and X-mens, but you cannot be indifferently partial.
