    Not as good as the 2nd part, but a good performance by Aamir Khan and support by Katrina Kaif makes this a decent one time watch.

    Concentrated on the thrilling nature. Lacks a perfect script.

    Probably one of the most visually pleasing movies in Bollywood, which is certainly due to the rather high budget. The story idea itself does have potential but isn't always executed well and therefore seems rather illogical in places. The action sequences are pretty far from anything that could happen in reality, but what else do you expect from a Bollywood Action movie? The action was still rather fun to watch. The one thing that saved the movie for me - despite the plot problems - was Aamir Khan (who was the reason why I warched it in the first place). He is doing an amazing job in this movie and has some really great scenes. (His tap dancing sequence and the circus sequence, where he swirls up in the air on a trapez hoop (no stunt double there) alone make the movie worth watching). Yes the movie does have problems, so don't raise your expectations too high, but it is definitely watchable and a must-see for any Aamir Khan fan.

    Aamir Khan is a spectacular performer. He gives a mesmerizing performance throughout. The ending brought uncontrollable sadness.

    Dhoom 3 Review - Ben Wolfe Dhoom 3 is an action-filled movie centered around a circus boy's plot of revenge against the bank that caused the suicide of his father. This movie is a action packed adventure that is filled with twists that are sure to capture your attention. Aamir Khan plays both Sahir and Samar Khan, and his fighting process and burly biceps are showcased throughout the movie. Abhisheck Bachchan plays the officer trying to catch Aamir. The star-studded nature of the film makes a difficult decision for the viewers: who should we root for? Dhoom 3 sets the stage with a flashback, introducing a boy, Sahir, who was a performer in his father's circus performance, known as the Great Indian Circus in Chicago. When the father could not pay off the loan, the bank took the circus from him, resulting in the father committing suicide. Fast forward to when Sahir is an adult, and we see that Sahir is stealing from the same bank to avenge his father. Dhoom 3 displays the common Bollywood theme of strong family values and loyalty. Sahir and Samar avenge their father's death by punishing the Bank of Chicago, no matter what means are taken. It also presents the "criminal" as the protagonist, creating a bit of cognitive dissonance and allowing the viewer to give Sahir sympathy (and possibly even justification) for his actions. These Bollywood tropes are also seen in the movie Deewar, starring Abhisheck's father, Amitabh Bachchan, who plays a similar character to Sahir named Vijay. Vijay's father was ridiculed into exile while Vijay was still a little boy, leaving his family to fend for themselves. As an adult, Vijay turned to crime to gain prestige and money to provide for his mother. In both the case of Vijay and Sahir, their strong family loyalty leads them to perform objectively bad actions for the sake of their families. However, these characters are not the villains in the movies; they were just good people in bad situations. Instead, society is the true villain because it "forced" Vijay, Sahir, and Samar into their criminal ways. Rosie Thomas presents this argument in her article, Melodrama and the Negociation of Morality, saying, "His [Vijay] crimes are mitigated by being presented as fired by desire for revenge on a corrupt society, especially as it had been particularly harsh on his beloved mother... his crimes are committed...to benefit others" (Thomas 175). Vijay was presented as a victim of society in Deewar, and Sahir and Samar are presented in a very similar way. Bollywood rewards characters who protect their family with hero-like status, and this can be seen in Dhoom 3 and Deewar alike.

    Dhoom 3 is the third of the well acclaimed blockbuster "Dhoom" action series. The movie stars renowned Bollywood stars Aamir Khan and Abhishek Bachchan in a legendary battle between a vigilante and a no nonsense policeman. The film opens in the 1990's to a show known as The Great Indian Circus. The show starred flashy dancers, dangerous stunts and most importantly a young magician established as Iqbal Khan's (the owner's) son Sahir. The show was under a great deal of pressure from its lender as it was unable to make payments on its loan. Per the banks demand, the show was ordered to be shut down and Iqbal Khan committed suicide immediately. The film then forwards to present day, Sahir (Aamir Khan) is an adult and has formulated a plot to avenge his father's death by planning and executing robberies against the bank that once closed his father's circus. After one robbery, ACP Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan) is summoned on the case. After a case of cat and mouse, epic chase scenes, and another robbery Jai learns the truth behind Sahir's robberies. An epic plot twist reveals that Sahir is actually twin to his autistic brother Samar which explains the inherit "magic" behind Sahir's avoiding the police during the chase. Undercover police work and a 15 minute police chase later the film fittingly ends when Sahir and Samar apparently commit suicide by jumping off a bridge much like their father did. The film lives up to the hype led by the precursor movies in the series, giving the viewers epic action scenes, major plot twists and countless dance numbers that Bollywood film patrons love so much. The action film has the same inherent values as the iconic film Deewaar. The motive of both Sahir and Vijay can be Brough back to the interior anger of a young man. The young men both took it upon themselves to create their own justice against what they felt was unfair for their family. Both films stress the increased importance on family values one would see in any other typical megabit Bollywood film. The basic plot of the film is the revenge of the twin sons against the bank for being the cause of their father's death, albeit indirectly. The importance on both the parents on the children was seen evidently in both films. The endings are also both inherently tragic as both angry young men die in pursuit of their own justice because they operated outs the law. Historically, in Bollywood rivalries and traditions are multi-generational and these two movies are no exceptions. "[Vijay] ... unlike hard core villains, values family relationships... he is an exemplary older brother (as a child he worked so hard so that his brother could be educated" (Thomas). In both films the villain is not one true villain but rather someone who is fighting for their own justice having experienced one in the past. "... he [Vijay] is also good enough to be the focal hero" (Thomas). This runs direct parallel to Sahir as the triumph of the law (Abhishek Bachchan) over the criminal (Aamir Khan), even if the crime is strangely understandable and maybe justifiable. There have been rumors of Dhoom 4 and a potential leading villain role of Shah Rukh Khan as well. We will just have to wait and see.

    Dhoom 3, the third installment of the Dhoom series is an action thriller with a sense of comedy. It stars Aamir Khan as the antagonist and the main character. The film also features Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra as the film's protagonists. This introduces an interesting dynamic where the viewer is unsure whether to root for the main character or the "good guys". Dhoom 3 begins with a young Sahir selling his belongings for a measly 25 cents. We learn that he is doing everything he can to try to help his beloved father pay off his bank loans to keep his circus open. After performing a marvelous magic routine in front of the Chicago bankers, they still decide to shut down the circus, leading to Sahir and Samar's father shooting himself in front of them. This causes Sahir and Samar to swear vengeance upon the Chicago bank which sets up the rest of the film. The film has multiple exciting chase scenes which clearly shows its modern release date along with a couple of surprising plot twists. While at times the chase scenes were epic and showcased the development of Bollywood technology, they also dragged on too long. Even though in the end the protagonists win, the viewer is left with a sad, empty feeling which just exemplifies how the film set up the villain to be the beloved main character. Although this is a more modern Bollywood film, it still incorporates many traditional Bollywood values into its frame. The classic value of family is the catalyst for the whole film as Sahir and Samar base all their actions to get revenge for their father's death. Not only this, but later in the film, the detectives aimed to ruin Samar's plan by pitting his twin brother against him. Beyond the theme of just family values, there is also a clear 'angry young man' in Sahir. At times the film is so enjoyable that the viewer forgets that Sahir is actually committing crimes, regardless of whether it's for his father or not. He is willing to do whatever it takes to ruin the bank that shut down his father's circus. This film is oddly familiar to Deewaar in the way that Vijay embodies the 'angry young man' role and bases his criminal actions to benefit his family. There are also many action scenes in both films that feature the 'angry young man'. As Sumita Dasgupta writes in "The Birth of Tragedy", "Vijay will not mend his ways. He has taken charge of the world and he cannot go back because for him to return would mean going back to his past. Vijay has risen from the past not to go back into it but to go beyond it" (19). Sahir, similar to Vijay, is looking to forge onwards and create a new more equal future rather than bring up the past. The defining difference between these two films is the presence of a mother which Sahir lacks. While love does play a slight role in this film, it does not play nearly as large of a part as it would in most Bollywood films. This is not because of its newer theme however. Other films released in 2013 such as Chennai Express show that love still plays a major role in most Bollywood films.
