dhoom-3-reviewWhat is “Dhoom 3” about?
Dhoom 3 is all about revenge of a clown.

How is Aamir Khan?
Aamir Khan is the heart and soul of the film. Right from the start he sets the tone of the film with his act and in between provides great variations as well which highlight him as a performer. He might look for a youthful series like Dhoom but thanks to the performance he makes you forget all that throughout the film.


dhoom-3-reviewHow is Vijay Krishna Acharya’s direction?
Direction by Vijay Krishna Acharya is more composed this time around. The director once again repeats the mistakes of over the top action like his previous film but this time gets the story right and narrates it properly without being self indulgent. This proper narration helps him overcome the way over the top action sequences.


dhoom-3-reviewWhat about Katrina Kaif, Uday Chopra,Abhishek and others ?
Abhishek Bachcah looks like best in the film and physically too he is fitter compared to the previous film in the series. Also unlike the previous film here he gets to showcase his acting skills even if it’s for a small moments and he does mighty well. His chemistry with Aamir Khan in the scenes they do together is superb. Uday Chopra is once again doing what he did in previous parts. Katrina really has nothing much to do in the film apart from showing her acrobatic dancing skills. Jackie Shroff in a cameo is fine.


dhoom-3-reviewHow is Music, Songs and Dances and other departments?
Music is a mixed bag, luckily there are few songs so it helps. Even the two major songs are used well as part of the narrative rather than sticking out. Background score by Julius Packiam is superb and adds great energy to the proceedings. Editing is jerky at times, especially in action scenes.
