Trailers "Dhoom:3 (2013)"

It is the first movie of India to be released in the IMAX format.

Dhoom 3 is the first Bollywood film to enter 250cr club

Eighth highest grossing Bollywood film [as of Apr 2018].

A long time ago the lead cast of the movie was supposed to be very different. Shah Rukh Khan was going to play a villian and Aamir Khan was chosen to play the cop role in the movie but Shah Rukh Khan opted out of the film because of his regularly sustaining injuries during other films shoot.

The stunt wherein Aamir rides a bike on the rope was done digitally with only the background being shot as per VFX director.

Several iconic Chicago buildings are re-purposed locations for the film. The headquarters for the Chicago Police Department is the Tribune Tower and The Great Indian Circus is the Shedd Aquarium, for two notable examples.

Frieda Pinto was considered for the lead role.

Jackie Shroff and Aamir Khan acted in a film after 18 years with the last being "Rangeela" (1995). However, they did not share any scenes in this film.

Climax of the film was shot at Contra Dam in Switzerland.

Rimi Sen who played wife of Abhisheik Bachchan in first two films was not approached for the film more ever she said that she would not have taken the role in third series.

Aamir Khan's stunts were done by a body double.

Katrina Kaif worked with the three Khans consecutively in 2012-13 ("Ek Tha Tiger", "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" and "Dhoom 3"). She would again in 2017-18 ("Tiger Zinda Hai", "Thugs Of Hindostan" and "Zero").

Khan learned ballet, aerobatics and the French technique of parkour, a method of movement focused on negotiating obstacles with speed and efficiency,

Kaif took paragliding training and singing lessons.

Aamir Khan stated in an interview that his role in Dhoom 3 is the toughest role so far in his life.

In June, the filming schedule was further postponed for a month because Khan wanted to prepare himself for his role of a gymnast.

Aamir Khan joined the crew in July 2012, filming for five days at Yash Raj Studios and further continued to shoot in Chicago and other parts of the United States.

Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra flew to the US on 4 August 2012 to complete a three-month schedule.

The climax was shot on Contra Dam, Switzerland, the same that became a popular bungee jumping venue after a James Bond stuntman jumped off it in the opening scene of the 1995 film "GoldenEye".

This movie is "The prestige" meets "Thelma and louise".

The song "Malang" was sampled from the song "Ali Da Malang" from the album Magic Touch by Bally Sagoo and Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

Rimi Sen who played Jai's wife, Sweety in both Dhoom and Dhoom 2 did not return for the third installment. According to her spokesperson, she was not approached for the film but even if she had been, she would have turned down the role as she was previously unhappy with her small part in Dhoom 2 and was unwilling to do a similar special appearance for this movie.

It is directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, who is the writer of all three films.

Aamir Khan's character was earlier named Jordan.

Aamir Khan apparently signed an agreement that the hero won't bash him in the film though he is the villain which irked Gulshan Grover who felt villians should be bold enough to take beating.

In her streak of working with the Khans, Katrina had one thing common in the two films opposite every Khan: "Ek Tha Tiger" and "Tiger Zinda Hai" belong to same franchise; "Dhoom 3" and "Thugs Of Hindostan" are both directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya; and "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" and "Zero" both also stars Anushka Sharma.

Aamir, Katrina, Vijay Krishna Acharya and Yashraj Films would again collaborte for "Thugs Of Hindostan" (2018).

Made on a budget of INR 175 crore (US$27 million), it was one the most expensive Indian film ever.

It was the 78th highest-grossing film of 2013 worldwide.

The film was screened during the 2014 International Film Festival of India in the Celebrating Dance in Indian Cinema section.

Even before the principal photography, the film enjoyed widespread media coverage due to the tremendous box office successes of previous installments "Dhoom 2" and "Dhoom", thereby creating anticipation amongst audience and media.

On 2 January 2011, the producer of the previous Dhoom films Aditya Chopra, confirmed that the third instalment of the Dhoom series would begin principal photography by the end of 2011.

Initially, the producers and the lead actor Aamir wanted to release the film on Christmas of 2012, but the plan was scrapped in favour of an early release date in 2013, mainly due to a forecast that a Christmas release would force a rushed post-production schedule, which was considered unfavorable given the high degree of technicality required for the film.

Reportedly, Chopra wanted to make the film in 3D after observing the successes of previous Bollywood films released in this format.

Aamir Khan opined that the 3D technology needed expertise and was unsure of the outcome of its utilisation by the director.

As of September 2012, YRF Studios had not announced the production of the film in 3D.

Bachchan reportedly lost nine kilos of weight to prepare for his role in the film.

Olliver Keller was signed to direct the stunt scenes.

The action scenes were directed by Conrad Palmisano and Sham Kaushal.

In an interview, Abhishek Bachchan expressed how every character of Dhoom 3 is significant: "...Dhoom is my film and I am the hero. Nobody can take that away from me. You can be the biggest or the smallest star but Dhoom is about Jai and Ali. It is as simple as that. If the characters of Jai and Ali are not there in Dhoom, the film won't be there."

On 23 September 2013, three months before the actual release of the film, DNA and other media news publications revealed that there could be a double role of Aamir Khan in Dhoom 3, but they did not confirm it.

Filming was scheduled to commence from November 2011, with scenes involving Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra being shot first, but the former was off on a paternity leave, so shooting was postponed to January 2012.

The schedule was pushed from January to June because of lead actor Aamir's prior commitments with his TV show "Satyamev Jayate".

Khan couldn't join the first schedule as he wanted to concentrate on the marketing and promotion of his 2012 film "Talaash".

Filming finally commenced with Jackie Shroff and Siddharth Nigam, the child actor playing the role of childhood Aamir Khan, on 8 June 2012 at Yash Raj Studios, Mumbai.

On arriving India from US in December 2012, Bachchan stated that fifty percent of filming was complete and would again resume in Mumbai.

In the second week of March 2013, it was reported that the crew had departed to Zurich and Ticino, Switzerland to film the climax.

The shooting of the film finally wrapped up on 14 September 2013 at a suburban studio in Mumbai.

In November 2013, Aditya Chopra sent out a message to movie exhibitors all over the country to "Go digital or miss Dhoom 3" regarding piracy as usually films are copied for piracy when the reels are being transported to theatres in the country and abroad. Digital cinema curbs piracy as the 'en route' content leakage is eliminated.

MAX Corporation and Yash Raj Films announced that Dhoom:3 would be the first Indian local language production to be released in the IMAX format.

The film was digitally remastered in the IMAX format with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology and was released in IMAX theatres across India and selective global locations.

It was released with cinema sound technology Dolby Atmos.

The film received a native Atmos mix at YRF Studios.

Dhoom 3 was given a 12A certificate by the British Board of Film Certification for Moderate Violence.

The film was released across 4500 screens in India (inclusive of Tamil and Telugu versions) along with 750 screens overseas.

Dhoom 3 had a release on 250 screens in West Bengal.

The maximum ticket price of the IMAX version of Dhoom 3 was Rs 900 (US$15) in India.

Cinépolis Pune set a unique record by hosting 54 shows of Dhoom 3 on 20 December 2013.

It was also released in non-traditional overseas markets like Egypt, Peru, Germany and Malaysia.

It was slated to release in China on 25 July 2014.

It was the widest release ever for an Indian film in China at that time, with 2000 screens across 400 cities.

The title logo of the film was released in a video that credited the main roles of the film.

The first working as well as promotional poster was also released nearly a year prior to release.

The score for the video (crediting the main roles) constituted paced beats and electric guitars and was released on Christmas 2012 through Yash Raj Film's official YouTube channel, confirming the film for a Christmas 2013 release.

The first teaser of the film was released on 5 September 2013 at 12 noon IST.

In August 2013, YRF released a motion poster of the film on YouTube, revealing the first look. It featured Aamir Khan with a hidden visage standing inside a tall building, looking at helicopters in the air through a glass window. A voiceover reveals that the Chicago police force is searching for a fugitive biker who vanished before he could be caught.

The satellite rights of the film were sold at a record price of INR 750 million (US$11 million).

The film's teaser was attached with the film "Shuddh Desi Romance", also a Yashraj Production.

On 25 October Yash Raj Films launched a game "Dhoom:3 The Game" based on the film for Windows Phones.

Developed by 99Games Online (a subsidiary of Robosoft mobile games), the 3D game was set against the backdrop of Chicago and opens with a heist by the character played by Aamir Khan.

Within 20 days of its launch, the game witnessed over 1 million downloads on the Windows Phone Marketplace and Nokia Store.

PVR Cinemas began advance booking for selected shows of the film same day the trailer had released, witnessing sales of just under Rs 20 million (US$300,000) until 17 December 2013.

Aamir Khan promoted the film on the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati.

The publicity campaign included tie-ins with over 17 leading brands including Mattel (manufacture of limited edit action figures, model cars and bikes), Gulf Oil, CEAT, Bombay Dyeing, Archies for stationery and the LINE social messaging application, along with 183 other brands.

A marketing pact was also made with BMW Motorrad, which has revealed that its S1000RR and K1300R sport bikes would feature in the film.

The first special screening of Dhoom 3 was held at Yash Raj Studios on 19 December 2013.

Another special screening that was organised on December 22, was attended by politician Raj Thackeray.

"The Dhoom Anthem" featuring Saba Azad was released by Yashraj Films on 26 December 2013.

A Spanish version of "Dhoom Machale" song sung by Mia Mont was released by Yashraj Films on 4 January 2014.

In June 2014, 99Games Online launched the sequel to 'Dhoom: 3 The Game' mobile game, title as "Dhoom:3 Jet Speed".

Earlier reports suggested that Shefali Alvares had been roped to sing the Dhoom title track, but this turned out to be a rumour.

Aamir said in a statement that the title track "Dhoom Machale Dhoom" is dedicated to Sachin Tendulkar who was then playing his 200th and final test match at the Wankhede Stadium.

The title song's video featuring Katrina Kaif and sung by Aditi Singh Sharma was unveiled on 14 November 2013.

The first look of the song "Malang" was revealed on 25 November 2013.

The title song "Dhoom Machale" was also recorded in an Arabic version sung by Lebanese singer Naya.

The predictions regarding the soundtrack turned out to be true as the album topped the iTunes charts only after the release of the film. The songs "Kamli" and "Dhoom Machale" topped the iTunes singles chart.

The song "Bande Hain Hum Uske" was sung by Shankar Mahadevan's 12-year-old son Shivam Mahadevan and Anish Sharma. His elder son Siddharth Mahadevan sung the song "Malang" in the film along with Shilpa Rao.

Rohit Khilnani of India Today deemed the music "below average".

On 6 January 2014, Yash Raj Films issued a statement that Dhoom 3 is officially the first Indian film to earn Rs 5 billion worldwide.

The film's final worldwide gross was Rs 589.2 crore (US$101 million), including Rs 372 crore (US$64 million) in India and US$35.6 million (Rs 217.2 crore) overseas.

First Indian film to gross $100 million.

The song "Kamli" is one of the earliest bollywood songs to gain more than 100 million views on Youtube.

The film became all-time highest grossing film of India as "3 Idiots" and "Ghajini" also starring Aamir Khan and released on Christmas.

The movie is inspired from Christopher Nolan's The Prestige in which Christian Bale played double role.

Third installment of the Krrish franchise was also released the same year. In 2006, the second installments of both Dhoom and Krrish franchises were released both starring Hrithik Roshan.

A line in the song "Malang" reads "Ishaq Mein Ho Jaun Fanaa", which is also a line in the title song of the film "Fanaa", which also stars Aamir Khan and is produced by Yashraj Films.

The role of Jennifer is played by Kim DeJesus. At the time of filming, her husband David DeJesus played for the Chicago Cubs baseball team.

It was announced that the composer of Dhoom and Dhoom 2; Pritam, would return once again to compose the music of the third instalment.

Aamir Khan's first on-screen death since "Rang De Basanti" (2006).

Aamir Khan's first double role in a film.

The scene where Abhishek Bachchan shoots Aamir Khan in the back followed by the next scene after a song where he can't detect any bullet on his body, which later reveals he shot his twin brother; was inspired from 1982 film "Aamne Samne", where a police officer shoots Mithun Chakraborthy on his leg but in the next scene after a song he can't prove that he had shot him on his leg as he had shot his look alike.

The double role was only confirmed at the release of the film This made Dhoom 3 the first and currently the only film in the series in which the antagonist has a double role.

Aamir Khan's references the thief as a Joker named "Chup Chap Charlie" to Abhishek Bachchan. Abhishek was also named Charlie in "Players" (2012), where he was also a thief.

This was not the first time the series featured a double role, since Bipasha Basu had a double role in "Dhoom 2" as Shonali and Monali, but they did not share the same screen space, unlike Khan.

Iqbal Khan (Jackie Shroff) is a misunderstood artist of his generation. He is a visionary. He is not interested in rendering a generic circus machinery: that of hackneyed antics, animals (ill-treated behind the stage) and forced glamour. The callous bank executive — metaphorical of Philistine corporations and close-minded audience — is predisposed to reject his plea, with hidebound contention that viewers only expect puerility from circus. The director sets the scene of Iqbal Khan's plights within seconds of his introduction. The young Sahir (played by brilliant Siddharth Nigam) evades bullies in an act of mini-parkour. It's a swift and effective introduction — a tap on his potential, for things to come.

The trial circus show of 1990 is filmed very well. There's soft 'malang' tune in the background. The circus props would evolve in the future acts. The hat-throwing trick of the father and the son would later be replicated in the final robbery with motorbikes replacing hats.

Although 'Dhoom' films are set in real world, they are quasi-fantasy films. The director makes sure that the implausible stunts are shot aesthetically. This is what separates a good director from an ordinary director. Every scene in 'Dhoom 3' has a function. There is a circus motif in each robbery. Tightrope walking is a common feature in circus and riding bicycle on a tightrope is a possible feat. Accordingly, the motorbike on high-rope is fully thematic in the quasi-fantasy realm of 'Dhoom'. Since motorbikes are essential in 'Dhoom' series, it makes for a thematic correlation between the 'Dhoom' trope and circus.

Victor Acharya uses slow-motion and ultra-slow-motion to a great effect in the motorbike scenes, without relying on gaudy tableaux. Then he immediately gets back to the normal speed: it enhances the effect of motorbike's acceleration.

The second escape adventure is a riveting spectacle. The taut background music underlines Sahir's predicament when the motorbike reaches the bridge. Sahir underplays well through his countenance of predicament. The scene also harks back to James Bond films where Bond uses gadgets to get out of trouble. Herein, the motorcycle unbelievably transforms into a Jet-Ski. After all, magic is meant to be unbelievable: a mix of sleight, contrivance and deception. Sahir, again, relies on circus acrobatics and magic tricks to escape. The VFX transformation is top-notch. The entire scene is wonderfully executed without any toffee-nosed rush or jumpy chopping. The editor does a fine job in knowing when to chop and when to spare.

In both robberies, Sahir uses the disappearing trick (taught by his father) to circumvent the police.

None of the songs are forced in the narrative. The 'malang' song is well-timed at a crucial juncture before the interval. The prelude has a sense of grandeur, silhouettes representing the young Sahir and his father. Malang has so much potential that it could have become a meta-movie in the song itself. But it is still impressive, grandly expressionist with colours, shadows, outlandish creatures and magic.

Like the previous 'Dhoom' movies, the background music is superlative. Julius Packiam blends it finely in the narrative: at times subtle, at times prominent as per the situation. It lingers on even after the movie ends. One gets to appreciate the background music more during repeat viewings. A big revelation comes at the point of interval. This scene, again, is very well directed. The good thing about Victor Acharya is that he knows when to accelerate and when to slow down. Following the confrontation with Jai, Sahir ensconces towards his room. It's a long take with no dialogue. The length engenders a feeling of suspense. As Sahir sits on the chair, probably facing a mirror (a common mode of cinematography), one can hear his breathing. The camera circles slowly, the silence adds to the anticipation.

Abhishek Bachchan shares more screen-time with Aamir Khan than he did with his adversaries in 'Dhoom' and 'Dhoom 2'. He shows a menacing streak in the scene where he interrogates Sahir. Since everything has to be done in the 'Dhoom' framework, the film misses out on opportunities of what they could have done with Jai's character, as well as a few other things, because in many ways, it's Jai Dixit who comes across as a stubborn antagonist.

A propos the act in India, the idea was to play it to the gallery with a rustic fight scene. The auto-rickshaw feature, however, is unbefitting to the 'Dhoom' template. Ideally they could have harked back to the brilliant chor bazaar (black market) scene from 'Dhoom 1'; that scene had a riveting escape (with Jai and Ali being the absconders instead of chasers) and a little story behind it. But here, there is no back story, no motif and no 'Dhoom' twinge on the rustic tableau.

'Dhoom 3' also succeeds in bringing old-school rhetoric to the fore. The poem 'bandey hain hum uske' is orated throughout the film in different tones, each at a key moment. Sahir and Iqbal Khan disperse a few memorable dialogues.

Aamir Khan takes care of aesthetics and nuances in a remarkable performance. As always he stays true to his character. There is no reliance on past glory, self-reference or braggadocio. His poised countenance and that remarkable stance make the motorcycle scenes more effective. He gives Sahir an aura of mystique when he goes to meet Jai Dixit at the police headquarters. His fine hat, tilted a tad upwards, gives him an air of a sly jester. In a scene where the audience cheered the loudest, Sahir says, 'When sleight, contrivance and deception converge, people think it's magic.' During the dialogue, he scratches his face with the gun with an old-fashioned panache. Whether it's a nod to the old-school acting or personal mannerism, it goes well with the rhetoric. This is the closest he can come to self-reference.

It is often said that Dhoom movies are action movies. If you think about it, like Aamir Khan also said, they are not action. They are more of adventure films with pulsating chases. There is little action or fight scenes in Dhoom. In the spirit of the riveting Dhoom world, the 3rd edition does a fantastic job. You know when Aamir is in the lead, things ought to get better.

One has to understand that Dhoom is an escapist world, like the films of James Bond or action films of Salman Khan. It is a film in which you want to whistle.

The last time I heard such loud whistles were during Dabangg and Ghajini. Every time Sahir pulled a fast one, crowd cheered loudly.

Some people were asking how does Jai find him at the dam. The answer is: it doesn't matter. Either way, Samar would have contacted Alia and Jai would have caught him. Jai knew that he could use Alia to lure him. If he had Samar, Sahir would have automatically walked in.

The chemistry between the characters is so amazing that they could have easily made it longer. The time of 172 minutes flies by.

Sometimes in cinema it is difficult to live up to hype. However, Dhoom 3 exceeds all expectations by packing a solid punch. The start was excellent and emotional, propped up by great performances from Jackie Shroff and Sidharth Nigam, the kid who plays young Aamir. YRF were indeed fortunate to find a kid who is not only a gymnast but a talented actor. I thought the cruel bank guy was good in his small part. He should've got a longer part. After the hasty Iqbal (Jackie) commits suicide, his son decides to take revenge. He targets the bank using his circus tricks and incredible gymnastics.

As good as Aamir acts, he gets a very good script here that gets the best out of him. The "dhoom" scenes i.e. the chases are awesome. Modern cameras and VFX effects make them even better.

Aamir's acting gets better and better as the story progresses. This is one one hell of a job by Aamir, on par with his best works.

*****SPOILERS AHEAD*****

To be frank, ACP Jai Dixit has become a liability since Dhoom 2 because his character makes things redundant. Since Dhoom 2 had a happy ending, his pesky interruptions didn't matter. But in Dhoom 3 the ending is sad, just because they had to give leverage to his character. Alas! they miss out on many tricks. Sahir's mastery and the twists around his characters are so good that he could have easily toppled Jai. Alas! Jai's character needs face saving because he's supposed to be one of the principal characters. He comes across as a big time nuisance.

The whole angle about Jai called by US police to help them is hard to fathom. But we understand it's "dhoom" and some level of cinematic liberty has to be taken to involve a story like this in Chicago because it's hard to visualize this story on the streets of India.

{Bandey hain hum uske humpe kiska zor}

Jackie Shroff recites the motivational poem elegantly. He is a damn good actor without any doubt. He is like a chameleon who adapts himself well into whatever part he is given. I don't think the film industry has done justice to his potential. The super-talented Sidharth Nigam and Jackie form a great father-son duo for a short period. Would it have been better to start the film with the robbery and then show the 1990 Chicago later on in a flashback? Hard to say. It doesn't make much of a difference to the final show.

Dhoom 3 is basically a mix of bikes and circus themes with loads of thrills and the usual entertainment. It is a true escapist entertainer. Motorbikes make a full-on comeback to the Dhoom world. Watching Aamir on the bike is a high. Watching two Aaamirs is even better. His dedication is astounding. He took a year to get in shape for a circus guy's role. One can see how important it is to look that part. His acting is predictably top class.

There is no plagiarism here or in Ghajini as many people still complain. People need to watch it with an open mind. {Watch Barfi, Zeher, Taxi No. 9211 to see what plagiarism means}. Vijay K. Acharya is a dreamer. He is a man who follows his passion. His command over his material is praiseworthy. Truly underrated director. The cinematography is praiseworthy. The slow-mo scenes are well done. {I am usually not a fan of slow-mo fights but Acharya has done them in a uber-cool way}. Abhishek does well and Uday doesn't get much room. The action is extraordinary. It is meant to be that way and must be received in that spirit.

Awesome experience first time and only gets better later... There's sureshot expectation of popcorn entertainment from Dhoom franchise. This time it's even bigger in terms of story, direction and action. The stunts are of international standard.

It not only strengthens the legacy but takes it to a higher level. In D1 and D2 John Abraham and Hrithik Roshan didn't have any backstory but here Aamir Khan has a backstory and a better characterisation.

Spoilers ahead...

It's unfair to pick one best Aamir Khan performance because he has given so many great performances. His work in Dhoom: 3 definitely finds place amongst his best work. He is restrained as Sahir and totally cute as Samar. At times Samar seems like a different actor.

Bike on rope and the second heist are awesome. The third one is alright.

The songs are superb. I always felt that Katrina Kaif didn't go berserk in 'ishq shava' song (jab tak hai jaan). In 'kamli' however she does very well, totally fits into the role.

Overall it's a fantastic movie from start to end.

An out and out entertainer. Vijay Krishna Acharya makes no mistakes this time and boasts this highly awaited franchise with an engaging script that makes the audience guessing till the very end. Death defying stunts especially with those bikes. Catchy dialogues. Spectacular sets that makes Dhoom: 3 a pulse rising chilling cop thief adventure that has a highly satisfying and spectacularly dazzling individual part of Aamir Khan that stays with you for long and asks repeat viewing. Vijay Krishna Acharya sticks to the basics shows his outmost loyalty to the genre dosen,t go for any layers and while he makes us jump out of our seats with those action shocks draws out those soft funny moments with finesse and even easily manages a touch of romance into the yarn with commendable ease. Technicalities are first rate. Sudeep Chatterjee cinematography is a treat to the eye. Editing by Ritesh Soni is crisp. Sumit Basu's production designing, Adri Siriwatt art direction is spectacular. Manoshi Nath, Rushi Sharma and Anaita Shroff costume designing is chic. Pritam Chakraborty music adds memento to the adrenaline rush. Title track, 'malang' and 'kamli' are a take home. Aamir Khan: you know how serious he is about his choices. And you know how really he works hard on his characters he plays. In Dhoom: 3 Aamir is in great shape and gives a brilliantly mature performance. His finesse to enter into the skin of the character is well known but here he as an actor/performer does to the franchise what a superstar should do- he demands a repeat viewing and that is the biggest USP of this installment. His fans and audience in general will go gaga. Katrina Kaif: boy she was never so delicious. The lass who has grown up tremendously as an actress has worked a lot for this and it shows. In 'Kamli' Katrina is bewitchingly sexy. Truly it's impossible to shift your eyes from her. Fabulous. Abhishek Bachchan: is in complete element and seems to be enjoying the fun. Highly entertaining. Uday Chopra: is very funny and successfully makes yo

Where do I start talking about a movie linked with very very precious childhood memories? From the first time John Abraham and gang motored on the streets on Mumbai to the cool Dhoom tune it become a sign of coolness. Later Hrithik Roshan's Dhoom 2 had its own flavour. It peeked into heists and gave us sweet romance in a light exploration of cop versus robber battle royale. Now comes the reliable Aamir Khan into the world of Dhoom.

Like other Dhooms, the 3rd Dhoom charters its own path adding its own touches in making Dhoom an entertaining ride from the opening shot to the climax. Thankfully it's not a formulaic ride. It opens up new horizons with a great story and fresh action and Vijay K Acharya's style of storytelling.

The bike scenes are gripping, well shot and edited. The visual effects team (based in India) does a swell job in the swell scenes also the dual role shots. My favourite scene is the biggie before the interval. It is very slick & old-school of Hitchcock.

Like Dhoom the first there is no peek on robberies but the focus is on bike escapes. Aamir Khan suits the action parts really well. Salute to him for getting in right shape.

Aamir Khan adds to his swell career of great films. (S)Well done again.

The young boy Siddharth Nigam is fab:- a talented gymnast and a fab young actor.

Jackie Dada is brilliant as usual.

Kaif shares a small but good chemistry with Aamir Khan.

I am gonna play devil's advocate for Abhishek Bachchan. He is an underrated actor but he needs to be modest. He has gotta be honest to himself and be thankful to Almighty that he is still getting to work with the actors like Ajay Devgan, Aamir Khan and SRK despite having a horrendous box-office record for 5-6 years.

Uday Chopra is perfectly cast as Ali. He has some endearing moments and dialogues but like Dhoom 2 his is shadows but there is nothing that could have been done about it. He shines in his part.

My rating:-) 9/10 (one extra 10/10 for Aamir Khan's cool act and the suspense factor).

Only mediocrity is safe. D3 could have been a safe affair but thankfully it is a daring adventure with great story and performances.

The credit goes to the writer and director Vic Acharya for putting great action, bike scenes, mystery, important twists and emotions.

Bande hai hum uske is a great poem repeated at important points in the movie.

I won't write much about Aamir Khan because much has been said about his acting. He is simply brilliant in a very challenging role. Siddharth Nigam does a great job playing Aamir's childhood part. Watch him in the flashback after interval, you might drop a tear or two. Abhishek Bachchan looks tough and stern in a good depiction of Jai Dixit. Overall, a sharp entertainer.

I have become a huge fan of Aamir Khan after watching dhoom 3.

A great epic entertainer with an engaging story, epic chases, sharp BMW stunts, fantastic acting and memorable music.

The direction is very ambitious in a good manner deserving congratulations. Slow-mo scenes are well done and he draws good performances out of his cast. The interval point is simply brilliant. Every scene is shot with precision.

The stunts, the chases involving the cop and Aamir are top class. Simply put, it's how a cat and mouse chase should be done.

The pace slacks a little after interval. The whole thing at amusement park is a little fake. After a while things get back to good. The last crime isn't as compelling as the first two maybe because the cat is out of the bag by then. Strangely the final robbery isn't good in any Dhoom movie.

My final word 9.

The kid who plays Aamir Khan's childhood is so damn good that he matches Aamir Khan in his memorable performance. He starts the movie with Jackie Shroff in superbly acted cameos by both. The movie is awesome from start to finish with thrilling action scenes. The antagonist (Aaamir Khan) has a better characterization compared to his predecessors in Dhoom. (Mind you, I am not saying that the older Dhooms were inferior. They all are good in their own way.)

In my review I would like to address some of the criticism Dhoom 3 has received:

Criticism 1: "How could the kid Sahir beat up grown up adults?"

Explanation: He didn't beat them up. He merely deceives them with his nimble movements and acrobatics. After all he is a trained boy.

Criticism 2: "Why does the kid Sahir start talking in Hindi with Anderson?"

Explanation: He was tense. He was totally desperate for the bank's approval. For heaven's sake! he was a young kid, probably a new immigrant, not well versed in spoken English. In his nervousness he started rattling in Hindi.

Criticism 3: "How could he ride a bike on rope? It's so unreal."

Explanation: He is a circus artist. Modern circus players are capable of doing incredible feats on ropes. Bike on rope is far fetched but that's what an escapist entertainer is about. How about when James Bond drove an invisible car? How about when Uma Thurman killed 100 assassins with one sword in Kill Bill?

Criticism 4: "How could the bike turn into a motorboat? That's unreal."

Explanation: The same way how James Bond's car turned into a submarine. Bond uses gadgets. So does the wizard Sahir.

Criticism 5: "Why didn't any CCTV cameras capture his face when he descended down the building?"

Explanation: The same reason why Farhan Akhtar had shaved chest and eight-pack abs in Bhaag Milkha Bhag. In real life he wasn't muscular. (BMB was a biopic while Dhoom is fantasy). The same reason why Bhuvan didn't have a moustache in Lagaan. He should have had a moustache logically because it's customary in villages for men to have moustaches and it was a drought ridden area. How could he waste water on shaving his face? The reason he didn't have a moustache was because the director didn't like the character's look in it. It's called cinematic liberty.

"Criticism 6: Why did American police need Jai Dixit's help?"

Explanation: Now that's a fair criticism but how could they exclude Jai Dixit from Dhoom? People would have complained about not following the spirit of Dhoom. Besides, shooting stunts like these in India wouldn't have the same effect.

Criticism 7: "It lacks the essence of Dhoom series."

Explanation: Watch Dhoom 1 and Dhoom 2 again. Both films are poles apart in many ways. In same way, Dhoom 3 offers novelty. But in the end all 3 films carry the essence of Dhoom.

Criticism 8: "Plagiarism! It is a copy of The Prestige!"

Explanation: The magic trick is the same but what they have done out of it is completely different. If that similarity makes it a copy, then 99% of the films are inspired from cinema or real stories. Even Sholay, Inception, Irreversible were unofficially inspired from other films.

Criticism 9: "It is a copy of Now You See Me"

Explanation: That's absurd because Now You See Me came just 4 months before the release of Dhoom 3. Whereas Aamir Khan signed Dhoom 3 in 2011 and the shooting started in 2012 and finished early 2013.

Criticism 10: "It unrealistic."

Explanation: So are James Bond films, Dabangg, Ghajini, Spiderman, Superman, Sin City, Kill Bill etc. They are NOT meant to be realistic. For realism watch Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Shahid, Taare Zameen Par, Peepli Live etc.

My score: 9/10

It's a totally escapist world. While Dhoom 1 & 2 sought their style from Hollywood, Dhoom 3 looks back at 70s Hindi movies and fit it into the Hollywood style.

I liked how they based the stunts around circus.

Dhoom 3 is a perfect addition to the Dhoom series. I don't believe in comparisons because every Dhoom has a style of its own. This one doesn't miss out in any manner. If only, it is the best Dhoom of the series. I wonder if they should make another because it will be hard to top it.

You have Aamir doing stuff he has never done before. He is totally cool in bike scenes and circus gymnastics.

AB Jr and Uday Chopra are fine. Their characters extend from the earlier movies.

Kat Kaif is a sensation. I am a fan of her dancing from now on. She doesn't have a long role but she is competent.

All three bike adventures are superb. My favourites are the first two. The BG music deserves a special honour because it is so vital to the movie.

Direction is brilliant. Vijay Krishna Acharya is a great talent. I hope his talent doesn't get wasted in this industry.

The little Aamir is a treat to watch:- a one hell of an actor. It's amazing what children bring to be table because of their innocence and freeness.

The best things:- direction, bike on rope, bike on bridge, aamir khan, kat kaif, bg music etc.

Not so best things :- final robbery, climax because it's sad.

I am not a movie critic or a good reviewer of films. I like what I see and this film was just great!!! Cheesy over the top but brilliant stunt sequences, absolute brilliant story line and excellent music and dancing. This is coming from a post punk muso with restricted mind for art.

Seriously, I am not the most opened minded person in the world but I fell in love with all of the characters portrayed in this film from the cops to the villain(s).

Katrina Kaif just added the whoa! factor but unfortunately her best performance was the ending credits.

A long film for us "westies" but great entertainment - away from the norm - thanks :-

An engaging tale the story is set on the backdrop of Chicago and a bank is getting looted by a thief leaving a clown's mask. He is Sahir (aamir) who has a circus show and he also has a vengeance behind this act. From India come the duo of ACP Jai Dixit (abhishek) and Ali (uday chopra) to catch the thief. Meanwhile, Sahir is joined by the beautiful Aaliya (katrina) in his circus acts. Whether Jai and Ali are able to catch Sahir or not forms the rest of the story.

The director has come up with a regular storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was quite absorbing. The dialogues were well written. The script was average but the screenplay made the whole difference. The background score was gripping and three songs were worth watching. Cinematography was exceptional. Editing was crisp. Costumes were stylish and well designed to suit the royalty while the art department was fabulous. Aamir Khan has taken the film to a new level with his performance, Katrina was stunningly sexy and eye catching, Abhishek was good, Uday Chopra brought few smiles. Not much for the foreign actors. Jackie was brief but made his presence felt.

This is the third edition of the Dhoom series and though there is nothing much in the plot or storyline it is the way the whole thing is packaged and presented that creates the difference. Right from the first scene there is a lot of energy and the interval twist is quite good. The second half also is engaging and though it slowed down a bit it picks up in the climax. Overall, this is a film which must be watched for its adventurous chases than content.

Aamir Khan gets so well into every character he plays that there is no stamp of the Aamir Khan in his performances.

Never there is any self-reference or pomp in his acting.

Similarly in Dhoom: 3 he raises his standard of acting.

He gives a superb performance comparable to the all-time acting greats.

Dhoom 3 is the best Dhoom movie without any doubt. However the other Dhooms are also super cool.

I just got the DVD and loved it even more.

Action scenes are fantastic.

Don't listen to the lobby trying to bring it down. I am sure most of them have hidden vendettas or they haven't seen Prestige.

Has anyone noticed nobody has the courage to call Barfi a copy? Back to the movie... it's a cool entertainer and a feel-good fantasy.

The only difference from other Dhoom is emotional quotient.

Aamir's cool and cute at the same time. He and katrina make a great pair.

The bike scenes are circus tricks are awesome.

BMW deserves an honourable mention.

Abhishek too gets the notes right. His character is interesting.

Uday is repetitive but fine.

Katrina is cool.

Tabrett Bethell is wasted.

The villain is superb.

First half and action and second half has emotions.

Aamir chases excellence and success follows.

Aamir Khan dons the helmet this time and sets on thrilling escapes. Chase is the buzz word in Dhoom. Instead of being called action films, Dhoom movies fit the description of adventure. There is an underlying socialist theme: the corporate domination, the exploitation of common people by banks, their arbitrary attitude, prejudice and so much. It's a circus guy's battle against a bank. A common man versus establishment.

Three chases are almost enough. One more would have been better. It doesn't matter that they don't show how the banks were robbed. The chases are so well executed that it doesn't matter. The circus stunts during the chases are awesome. Full points for that.

The suspense-buster scene is directed with sheer brilliance. Aamir makes it special with a great performance.

ACP Jai Dixit has shades of gray. He too is a part of the "system" like Anderson and the bank. The ending is a sad commentary on our society, deeply moving with love between two brothers.

The thing I like the most about Dhoom franchise is how different they are from one another while still carrying the spirit of cop-n-robber Dhoom world. In part 2 Hrithik Roshan (in a super cool act) was a master of disguise here in part 3 Aamir Khan (in another super cool act, keeping with the tradition of Dhoom) is a gymnast. So here he uses his circus gymnastics to dodge cops. The robbery scenes are superbly done. Like a circus gymnast he does great stunts on bike. He fits the part like fish to water. His childhood part is played by Siddharth Nigam (the discovery of the movie) at the start of the movie. Jackie Shroff and he set the scene and emotional moments very well. As audience we always support the so-called villains of Dhoom but in Dhoom: 3 we support Sahir more because of his past and later our support increases after the awesome twist.

The only downside (if it can be called one) is that there are just three robberies. It would have been better to have one more robbery instead of the fight scene in India.

"Joe Duniyaa Ko Naamumkin Lageh, Wohe Mouka Hotha Hai Kartub Dikhanae Kaa" - Jackie Shroff in his baritone inspires his son Sahir to defy the odds. He pushes himself to his limits and performs great acrobatic moves. Any compliment towards Siddharth Nigam {the kid} is not enough in front of what Aamir Khan had to say about it. Aamir Khan asked the director to bring the kid to see him rehearse since it was such a challenging role. After seeing the kid perform, Aamir was so amazed that he said that it was he who had to learn from the kid. He is truly talented, a great mix of a talented actor and acrobat.

The action scenes revolve around circus acts. They are superbly done. Aamir isn't known to be an action star. After watching the movie you ask yourself is there anything he cannot do? Dhoom 3 is a grand film. Credit must also be given to Adi Chopra for not rushing into Dhoom 3. He allowed the director to take his time in coming up with a right storyline.

Like I said before, the action scenes are simply awesome never before seen in Hindi cinema.

The background score is totally awesome in every breath. It is the background score that gives Dhoom movies an edge. It's hard to imagine them without the great background music.

There you have a great film that raises the bar and takes you to a whole new world of gadgets, amazing stunts and great emotions.

Apart from evoking the memories of the earlier Dhoom movies, the third part of Dhoom comes as a great surprise package. Because apart from its inherent coolness, it adds more substance to the series - a substance you could expect from an Aamir Khan starer. This one is no exception.

The emotions move back to the Hindi films of the 70s and the action (in fact bike scenes) are styled after James Bond movies. So it comes as a great mix. Modern technology makes the stunts really cool and allows them to do things which weren't possible before.

Acting is great from everyone including Aamir Khan for obvious reasons. Whether it is Dhoom or any other movie, never do you feel that he is the Aamir Khan, the star. It's because he gets into his characters so well. Here too you actually feel that you are watching two different people. Abhishek Bachchan does well with his character. He seems to have a snobby streak in real life and that actually helps his character. Uday Chopra and Katrina Kaif do well. I wish Tabrett Bethell had more role.

Malang song is a treat to watch. Other songs are great too.

(Watching it second time was even better. But I must add, it has to be seen in high-definition.)

The complaints about unrealistic action are strange because it's not meant to be a Sarfarosh or Madras Cafe. In fact many South Indian and Hollywood movies have unreal action. Try "Sin City", "Kill Bill" or South Indian blockbusters. Even Aamir Khan's Ghajini had over-the-top action. It's because of their genres. One size doesn't fit all. Every film has its own demands. There are also complaints that they don't show any robbery. My question is, how many robberies did they show in the first Dhoom? Hardly.

P.S. I am going with 9 out of 10. I took one off because the climax despite being emotional seems like a compromise.

Most of the times a series loses its charm by the time it reaches third part but this is where Dhoom: 3 peaks.

I love all Dhoom films but Dhoom: 3 is definitely the best of the batch.

It's a pure Dhoom show with fun, music, love and superhuman stunts.

The showstopper is Aamir Khan.

He gives a flawless performance, including the fantastic action scenes that take your breath away.

It's hard to talk more about about his role without giving spoilers. In short, he is at his best.

Dhoom: 3 entertains more than it promised.

The suspense is rocking!!!

Katrina Kaif has a short role but she steals the show in the songs. Her dancing is a surprise package among other things of Dhoom: 3.

The standard of direction is high. Victor Acharya deserves a special mention. He is one of the most underrated talents of India.

Pluses: everything I wrote above.

Minus: rickshaw scene and climax.

This movie is really good and I can easily say its the best Dhoom from the series. The chase sequences are awesome and the so called "plotholes" people are complaining about aren't really that bad. Aamir Khan's acting is flawless and and indeed is "Mr.Perfectionist". Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra's acting is mediocre at its best. Kat doesn't have much of a role but showcases her dancing skills. Songs are good and BGM is even better. If you can overlook abhishek and uday chopras ridiculous entry and enjoyed Dhoom 2 then I'd say go for it! I assure you you will not regret watching this one. My rating- 8/10(gave it a 10 cause it deserves a higher rating)

Well after reading the reviews , though this movie deserve a 7/10... but i would rate it 9/10.... because of the Indian attempt to make such movie . the basic problem is with the we Indians only on one hand we would believe a aircraft getting invisible in air and would call a bike becoming a motorboat "CRAP" which is far more logical....well how can you actually compare an Indian movie with a Hollywood one.... look at the budget difference.... a appreciation to such movie.... will make Bollywood rise to the level we want ... the story line was a quite different form the basic story that we actually see in a Indian movie... # khan is awesome ..... well katrina has no roll .... and the other two are the same.... however, one should not compare it with "the prestige" as it was based on a novel .... the twin was just an idea but the story line was the original one.... also not compare it wit "Now you see me" ,it was released this year by that time making of Dhoom 3 was over.... overall the movie is a fun ride and you are not gonna get bored for the 3 hour run for sure....

The idea of mixing circus with robberies was superb but what they made out of is even better. Sahir's dad's brainchild the great Indian circus gives a nod to the classical revenge of the 70s and emotions. Dhoom 2 had a cool video game mood. Some scenes in Dhoom 3 are in that video game spirit making the super fun.

Aamir Khan is known to be tough chooser and one can see that every film of his is special, like Dhoom 3. He doesn't repeat himself and is never the same person in every film.

So then, Dhoom 3 comes across as a whiff of fresh air in the times of too many South Indian remakes. What I don't understand is why they had the autorickshaw scene. Did they include it because South Indian action is big these days? In any case, it doesn't matter much because it isn't connected to the movie.

The bike scenes are soulful and simply superb. They grip you and never get boring: that's the hallmark of good action scenes.

Katrina has a small role but she is superb. Uday Chopra gets repetitive but that's the nature of his character.

Dhoom is almost a fantasy world, full-on thrilling environment. They just don't make such movies anymore.

ITS A MINDBLOWING FLAWLESS ACTION MOVIE.....yep its the movie of the perfectionist aamir khan..so its obvious we cannot fine a mistake in the movie.Compared to the first part...this one has gone into deep evolution and it is awesome in its action.There are some surprise factors in the film which starts in the mid of the movie & aamir khan has again proved in putting his best efforts in making a difference to an usual franchise.For action movies,this is a perfect movie to watch with the required amount of emotional melodrama needed for an usual bollywood movie.This has more drama compared to the rest of the franchise & glamour content lies on katrina alone with making her presence small in songs & few scenes but rest of the movie has only aamir khan & action.

The graphics needed for the action scenes are perfect that we cannot find that they are computer graphics & scale of graphics is unimaginable.But we cannot see in lot of scenes that the face of the dupes riding the bike instead of aamir khan,that could have been avoided.Added,why in every movie Aamir khan need to die like in faana,rang de basanti....its really becoming irritatingly usual.This movie I would rate as a best choreographed bike action movie.

Getting a huge lesson from his 2008 turkey "Tashan", director Vijay Krishna Acharya (also the dialogue writer of Mani Ratnam's films "Guru" and "Raavan"), comes up with a solid Hollywood style thrilling entertainer with yes...some magic as well as great gripping moments and twists and the best part is that despite few clichéd moments, weird stunts and even the inordinate length of the songs, the film will make you stick you to your seats. The film scores with its brilliant screenplay (Aditya Chopra and Acharya) and even the dialogues, which have some 'decent yet hitting' punchlines, along with the cinematography by Sudeep Chatterjee, choreography by Vaibhavi Merchant and various, stunts direction by Sham Kaushal and Colnard Palmisano, editing by Ritesh Soni which go brilliant hand in hand. Apart from that, for those who got disappointed by the music of the film, which actually love the songs when they see in the film , along with the background score (by Julius Packiam and Pritam). In the performances, hatsoff Shanoo Sharma for getting a compact star cast with the veteran Jackie Shroff doing a great job, along with Uday Chopra and Abhishek Bachchan who successfully spill magic with their chemistry this time. Though she doesn't have much work, but Katrina Kaif still makes her presence in the film well with her moves and performances. Last But Not the least, Aamir Khan delivers a show stealing performance, carrying the film brilliantly on his shoulders and he will make you adore with every of his move in the film. Putting its predecessors behind, overall, this all and all well made film is worth every of your penny, just don't miss it! A great entertainment is guaranteed! My rating would be: 4/ 5.
