Recipe: Take Uday Chopra's dad's money, call some Hollywood stunt experts, spend hours copying scenes from the best action movies, and oh! ensure Aamir, and his carbon copy, and voila! Dhishoom....no....Dhoom 3.
Gone in 60 seconds, The Dark Knight, Bad Boys 2, and the latest episode of Cops are what you get to see in this movie, mixed with desi masala. In fact, the BMW and its modifications are impressive, but compared to The Dark Knight, the bike looks like Hot Wheels. Tamils are made fun of again, with the scene introducing Yash and Abhishek Bachchan. He goes through walls punching criminals, like his father did, trying to be the angry young man of the 70s again. But, for some reason, the makers decided to do a wheelie in a Bajaj auto, and even drive it on rooftops, like Will Smith did in Bad Boys 2, in a jhakhaas yellow Hummer. This scene however, is just jackass.
Yes, your girlfriend can drool over Aamir, you over Katrina and your mum over Jackie Shroff. The circus acts remind you of Cirque du soleil. The role played by the child artist Siddharth Nigam is just endearing. Pritam has given good music, and some scenes the background score is just perfect. The makers have done a good move by moving to BMW, instead of the usual Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha. How on Earth did they manage to pull off the surprise character of Aamir Khan and the twist in the story is anybody's guess. But, it is a job well done. Dhoom 3 is a must watch just for this, Aamir, or do we say Aamirs, at their villainous best.
But some things never change, as my co-critic pointed out. The police always show up late, even when they go abroad, they oogle at firangi girls, nothing happens to them even when a dozen bullets are fired, and they never miss their mark, even when dangling from a helicopter. Salaam Indian Police!
Also, the Transformers type scene, where the bike turns into a wave runner, is nice, but hard to believe. But, its an Indian masala entertainment; so, just scratch your head and leave it at that. Even America's finest are scratching their heads, figuring out how they lost so many squad cars, while Abhishek and Uday dodge them, without wearing helmets, on their bikes.
Is the movie worth your time and money? Yes, absolutely. Period. Kudos to Aamir for promoting helmets and riding gear. No points for Abhishek and Uday for clowning around, both in dialogues, acting and bike safety.
