Summary:
Third part in a series of movies with a story focus on anti-hero zooming on bikes and starring mega stars Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bacchan and Katrina Kaif, this movie is action heavy. Read On ..
The Movie Backdrop:
Dhoom3(2013) is an action thriller film, written and directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya and produced by Aditya Chopra of Yashraj Productions.
This is the third part of the Dhoom series.
The movie has Aamir Khan in the anti-hero role, and other stars are actor Abhishek Bachchan as the lead hero -cop Jai and Uday Chopra as Ali Akbar. Jackie Shroff also plays an important role in the movie.
This movie rode on its star cast to make a worldwide gross of US$ 28 million— thus breaking the record of 3 Idiots (another Aamir Khan starrer) and becoming the highest-grossing Bollywood movie of all time in the international markets.
Movie Plot in brief:
Sahir (Aamir Khan) is bent on taking revenge on Western Bank of Chicago and its owner Anderson (Andrew Bicknell) whose rough and stony attitude made his father Iqbal Khan (Jackie Shroff) unable to save his “Great Indian Circus” in Chicago, which is unable to make money, and also commit suicide.
Using high tech stuff and some breathtaking tricks, Sahir robs many of the bank branches.
Chicago Police is unable to catch him, and though unrealistic, ACP Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan) and his partner, Ali (Uday Chopra), are called from India for help in solving the case!
The script then moves through a maze of plans and counter plans by Jai and Sahir, full with some daring stunts, explosions and a startling revelation in the plot.
Sahir dies in the end, though Jai develops a sympathy for Sahir and the injustice that the Western Bank did on his father and them.
A Personal Opinion:
The movie has some daring and breathtaking stunts and story wise, it is slightly better than Dhoom 1 and 2, but still the story and plot seem to lack something that could have made this into a great movie. I personally felt Abhishek Bacchan’s acting better than Aamir in this movie, though most of the attention of the critics and public was upon Aamir Khan. Jackie Shroff too played his part well.
Some of the songs are good to listen, with some great dance. The movie’s success came mainly from star cast, marketing and distribution strategy.
