After creating loads of hullabaloo, finally one of the most anticipated action packed cine chronicle of the year has made it to cineplexes. Ever since this pleasurable cine-tale and its star-cast was announced, the curiosity of millions of ‘Dhoom’ fans started tossing in the hope of something grand in the offering.
Ever since its inception each and every edition of ‘Dhoom’ franchise has succeeded in not only raising the bar, but also in leaving an impact with what they offer on the celluloid. Be it high octane action, those classy vrooming bikes, or gravity defying stunts of those who perform them on the celluloid, every-time brand Dhoom has thoroughly succeeded in offering something grand to its fans.
Marking the onset and continuing with a movie franchise is no longer an oblivion practice in Bollywood. With numerous production houses continuing with the brand name of some of their best selling products, have not only offered an unadulterated entertainment to cine enthusiasts, but have proved their entertaining potency too.
Be it Krrish, Dabangg or the recently released Dhoom 3 belonging to YRF’s Dhoom franchise, each of these best selling cine products of Bollywood have not only succeeded in charming the masses, but at the same time have secured for themselves a repute of being massive cine charmers with loads of entertainment stuffed in them.
Anyhow coming to one of the most anticipated movie of the year “Dhoom 3”, the movie starring Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif, Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra, as per expectations opened with cent percent occupancy.
Although so far we have witnessed that cine cantata belonging to “Dhoom” franchise primarily dealt with action theme and a sort of cop and thief chase. But this edition of “Dhoom is somewhat different, because of an emotional tale flowing beneath its conspicuous current.
Premise of “Dhoom 3” is settled in Chicago and narrates the tale of Sahir (Aamir Khan) an acrobat who see his father (Jackie Shroff) committing suicide due to his inability in clearing a bank debt and saving his circus “The Great Indian Circus” from auctioning. As the frames proceed ahead it showcases how Sahir, who otherwise own a social persona of a circus acrobat, in order to avenge the death of his father starts robbing all the branches of “Western Bank of Chicago” one after the other, which he feels is primarily responsible for the death of his father.
In order to prevent the situation from getting worst, ACP Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan) of Mumbai Police along with Ali ( Uday Chopra) is roped in by Chicago police and from there begins an action packed chase saga. And keeping in view the curiosity of the fans associated with “Dhoom 3” here I would like to mention that, saying anything further about the premise of “Dhoom 3” may dent the excitement of the cine enthusiasts. So guys to know whether Jai Dixit succeeds in his intent, or is it Sahir who has the last laugh watch “Dhoom 3”.
While penning down the premise of ‘Dhoom 3’ Vijay Krishna Acharya and Aditya Chopra has quite adroitly managed to keep the basic spirit of Dhoom franchise i.e. high octane dare devilish stunts, alive. But at the same time they have not forgot to give this action packed tale a human touch. As stated above that unlike its prequels, “Dhoom 3” certainly has got an emotional element brewed in its premise which somewhere down the line gives it an edge to it over its prequels. And besides impressive feature pertaining to Dhoom 3’s narration is which emerges as an stand out feature of it is that it is a standalone cine delight, independent of any association with its prequels, which is usually the case with other franchises of Bollywood.
In the first half, premise certainly takes somewhat extended time span to unfurl fully, but once it does, it keeps all your neurotransmitters glued to the onscreen proceedings. After presenting a well structured narrative in the first half, the story of “Dhoom 3” get a bit indolent in the post interval part, but this meager flaw pertaining to the movie is undoubtedly passable.
As far as screenplay is concerned then throughout its run time which is almost of 3 hours “Dhoom 3” nowhere leaves any scope for distraction and woolgathering. From the very first frame, the flow of narration of “Dhoom 3” not only proceeds like a smoothly flowing stream, but also succeeds in keeping the attention of the viewers focused on the celluloid.
Be it the action sequences designed by Conard Palmisano and Sham Kaushal or the dauntless screenplay of Vijay Krishna Acharaya, everything pertaining to “Dhoom 3” is so engrossing that you don’t feel like taking your gazes off the silver screen. Even on the cinematographic front, Sudeep Chatterjee, has magnificently kept all the necessary gen intact, and besides that it’s the top notch editing of Ritesh Soni which further magnifies the entertainment coefficient of “Dhoom 3”.
In music department, with “Dhoom 3” YRF has once again succeeded in dishing out some of the mesmerizing aural delights, but this time with a difference. Be it “Malang” song or “Kamli”, both these songs dabbled in the treacle of Sufism, with their absolute recall value, completely possesses your psyche.
Before starting with the performances analysis of the protagonists, it is pertinent to mention here that “Dhoom 3” is completely Mr Perfectionist Aamir’s show. Although in the movie, Aamir’s character is something in absolute contrast with his previous avatars, but in-spite of that the ace performer has conveniently succeeded in coming up with his one of the praise worthy performances. Despite Aamir’s being the antagonist in “Dhoom 3”, it will be wrong to deliniate his character in absolute terms, but one this which can be said with an absolute surety is that, with his action packed performance and acrobatic skills, the man has once again proved that there is no such genre of movie making in which he can’t excel.
On the other hand, if we talk about the lady on the center stage, Katrina, then despite having a confined screen presence, Kat firmly succeeds in astonishing the masses by her performance and especially the acrobatic skills. Abhishek as ACP Jai Dixit has been no different from his previous performances, but whatever he does in “Dhoom 3” he does it with full gusto to make it one of his praiseworthy acts. And if we talk to about Uday Chopra then all that could be said about this Chopra scion is that, this time he has been very less irritating and up-till some extent succeeds in charming the audience with his witty one-liners that too without saying “Kya Mummy” as he did in the past.
Jackie Shroff has been in a somewhat cameo, but this time he has proved that when it comes to getting under the skin of his character then he surely knows the art of doing so.
Well talking about the earning potential is something irrelevant, when it’s about brand ‘Dhoom’, so nothing much to say about that, but yeah keeping in viewi the prevailing legacy of of brand “Dhoom” and Aamir’s stature the movie is expected to emerge as one of the biggest BO grosser of the year.
To sum up, with an engrossing plot, high octane action sequences and an apt and magnificent star-cast, “Dhoom 3” has got all the relevant variables, which makes it a good watch and at the same time thoroughly meets the expectations of the fans, who were eagerly waiting for this “high on entertainment” cine delight. Hence keeping in view the entertainment coefficient,content in the offering, prevailing legacy of Aamir and “Dhoom” franchise, I am going ahead with three and a half stars for this this stupendous cine marvel of YRF.
