There’s a love story involving Sahir’s recently hired and smoking hot female assistant (Katrina Kaif) and plenty of songs about the power of love.

The stunt work is top notch and series writer Vijay Krishna Achary asserts himself nicely in his first trip into the director’s chair for the series.
The chief villain is a hilariously straight faced, bitchy old white guy (Andrew Bicknell) who hates artists and whimsy. This is the kind of film where no brick wall is safe from getting punched right through it and motorcycles can jump off bridges and transform into jet skis. Sure, they’re borrowing liberally from everything from any number of American and Asian produced action films, but it’s all in lovingly crafted good fun. Jai and Sahir begin a bit of a cat and mouse game to constantly deceive and entrap the other.ĭhoom 3 clocks in at just a shade under three hours, with most of the film’s action and excitement crammed into the first half rather than the second, and despite most of the film’s spectacularly shot chases obviously taking place in the same three block section of Chicago, they’re pretty inventive and impressive in scale. Blaming the bank for the collapse of The Great Indian Circus – his father’s pride and joy – and the suicide of his dad, Sahir takes what he can carry, gives a bunch away, and whatever he can’t use, he destroys in a mission to put the bank out of business for good. This time, they’re sent off to The Windy City where disgruntled circus performer Sahir (Aamir Khan) has been targeting one of the city’s largest banks for a series of elaborate heists.

But while the first films were a lot more fleet footed in their approach, this largely Chicago based, motorcycle chase packed crime saga loses the air in its tires around the halfway point and spends 90 more minutes coasting to a somewhat obvious and abrupt conclusion on its rims.īack are Mumbai’s top reckless and brilliant undercover cops: suave and professional Jai Dixet (Abhishek Bachchan) and his goofball, constantly horny ex-con partner Ali (Uday Chopra). They’re genuinely entertaining films, even if this third entry is admittedly the weakest of the bunch. It came out almost two weeks ago now, but it certainly seems like it’s time to double back and take a look at the Bollywood import Dhoom 3, the third film in a popular Indian action-comedy-musical series that seeks to ape the thrills and excess of major Hollywood blockbusters.
