The Indian Express Rating: **
Somewhere in the build-up to the film, a character tells another:
just make sure my eyes do not move from you for five whole minutes.
'Dhoom 3' is nearly three hours long, and I am here to tell you that my
eyes strayed from the screen many, many times.
My attention shouldn't have wavered. Because the third
installment of Dhoom has the kind of tech specs the slickest Hollywood
flicks do: superb cinematography, great-looking sets, expansive foreign
locations. And the promise that leading man Aamir Khan is meant to bring
to his act. But very soon into the film, you are overcome with the
feeling that engulfs you when you encounter stuff you've seen too many
times before. 'Dhoom 3' is a victim of both a lack of imagination, and
franchise fatigue.
In snowy Chicago, young Sahir is witness to his
deep-in-debt-father's (Shroff) humiliation at the hands of a stony-faced
banker, and the subsequent loss of his circus. Years later, in the same
place, the Great Indian Circus opens to a glittering evening. Sahir
(Khan), now grown up, has perfected his double-bill: that of the smart
thief, and a skilled magician. When he is not leading
imported-from-India cop-duo Jai (Bachchan) and Ali (Chopra) a merry
dance all over Chicago, he is charming awed audiences with his beautiful
partner-on-a-trapeze Aliya (Kaif).
By rights, this should have been a blast. That's what the Dhoom
flicks are meant for: ultra-toned bikini-ready bods (remember the homely
Esha Deol, yes the very one, transformed into a bronzed babe in the
first one, and oh that Aishwarya in her teeny-weeny blue outfit that
created such a storm in the second?), the funny ha-ha between the tapori
Ali and the dour Jai, and the sizzling hot bad guys. I would pay good
money for John Abraham and his bikes, and Hrithik and his
golden-streaked hair, even on a second run.
