Story of The Film :

In this battle of revenge and dignity, the lines blur and the conventional definition of good and bad don’t apply. Watch a spectacle that will thrill you and move you.

Production :
Development :

Prior to Film Shooting, the film enjoyed widespread media coverage due to the tremendous box office successes of previous part Dhoom 2 and Dhoom, thereby creating anticipation amongst audience and media. On 2 January 2011, the producer of the previous Dhoom films Aditya Chopra, confirmed that the third instalment of the Dhoom series would begin principal photography by the end of 2011. Initially, the producers and the lead actor Aamir wanted to release the film on Christmas of 2012, but the plan was scrapped in favour of an early release date in 2013, mainly due to a forecast that a Christmas release would force a rushed post-production schedule, which was considered unfavorable given the high degree of technicality required for the film. Around 1.25 billion was spent just on the production side of Dhoom 3.

Reportedly, Chopra wanted to make the film in 3D after observing the successes of previous Bollywood films released in this format. However, actor Aamir Khan opined that the 3D technology needed expertise and was unsure of the outcome of its utilisation by the director. As of September 2012, YRF Studios had not announced the production of the film in 3D.

Film Casting :

Aamir Khan was signed on to play the lead antagonist, while Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra were confirmed to reprise their roles as Jai Dixit and Ali Akbar respectively. Katrina Kaif was signed as the lead heroine, starring opposite Khan. Khan learned ballet, aerobatics and the French technique of parkour, a method of movement focused on negotiating obstacles with speed and efficiency, while Kaif took paragliding training and singing lessons. Bachchan reportedly lost nine kilos of weight to prepare for his role in the film. Rimi Sen, who played ACP Jai Dixit’s (character played by Abhishek Bachchan) wife in the previous two instalments of the series, was not approached to play her character Sweety. However, she stated that she would not have reprised the role even if she were offered.

Unlike the first two Dhoom films directer are Sanjay Gadhvi, Vijay Krishna Acharya, the writer of all three instalments of Dhoom, was roped in to direct Dhoom 3. Olliver Keller was signed to direct the stunt scenes.

Aamir Khan stated in an interview that his role in Dhoom 3 is the toughest role so far in his life. The action scenes were directed by Conrad Palmisano and Sham Kaushal. In an interview with IANS, Abhishek Bachchan expressed how every character of Dhoom 3 is significant: “…Dhoom is my film and I am the hero. Nobody can take that away from me. You can be the biggest or the smallest star but Dhoom is about Jai and Ali. It is as simple as that. If the characters of Jai and Ali are not there in Dhoom, the film won’t be there.”

On 23 September 2013, three months before the actual release of the film, DNA and other media news publications revealed that Aamir Khan could play a dual role in Dhoom 3, but they did not confirm it. The dual role was only confirmed at the release of the film. This made Dhoom 3 the first and currently the only film in the series in which the antagonist has a double role. However, this was not the first time the series featured a double role, since Bipasha Basu had a double role in Dhoom 2 as Shonali and Monali, but they did not share the same screen space, unlike Khan’s characters.

Film Shooting :

Filming was scheduled to commence from November 2011, with scenes involving Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra being shot first, but the former was off on a paternity leave, so shooting was postponed to January 2012. The schedule was then pushed to June because of lead actor Aamir’s prior commitments with his TV show Satyamev Jayate; in June, the filming schedule was further postponed for a month because Khan wanted to prepare himself for his role of a gymnast. Khan also wanted to concentrate on the marketing and promotion of his 2012 film Talaash. Without any further delays, filming commenced with Jackie Shroff and Siddharth Nigam, the child actor playing childhood Aamir Khan, on 8 June 2012 at Yash Raj Studios, Mumbai.

Aamir Khan joined the crew in July 2012, filming for five days at Yash Raj Studios and further continued to shoot in Chicago and other parts of the United States. Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra flew to the US on 4 August 2012 to complete a three-month schedule. On arrival in India in December 2012, Bachchan stated that fifty percent of filming was complete and would again resume in Mumbai.

In the second week of March 2013, it was reported that the crew had departed to Zurich and Ticino, Switzerland to film the climax.The shooting of the film finally wrapped up on 14 September 2013 at a suburban studio in Mumbai.

The climatic scene in Dhoom 3 was shot at the famous arch dam, Contra Dam (commonly known as the Verzasca Dam) in Ticino, Switzerland. It is the same dam that became a popular bungee jumping venue after a James Bond stuntman jumped off it in the opening scene of the 1995 film GoldenEye.

Release :

In November 2013, Aditya Chopra sent out a message to movie exhibitors all over the country to “Go digital or miss Dhoom 3.” In detailed statements he claimed, “Release of movies through digital and UFO digital cinema prevents piracy as the prints are water-marked and finger-printed and can be traced back. It is believed that usually films are copied for piracy when the reels are being transported to theatres in the country and abroad. Digital cinema curbs piracy as the ‘en route’ content leakage is eliminated. It also makes sense economically as a producer saves a lot of print costs. Apart from that, encrypting the content protects the copyrights of the producers and distributors. Digital prints prevent duplication of prints and help by diverting funds back to the cinemas.”

IMAX Corporation and Yash Raj Films announced that Dhoom:3 would be the first Indian local language production to be released in the IMAX format. The film was digitally remastered in the IMAX format with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology and was released in IMAX theatres across India and selective global locations. Dhoom 3 was released with cinema sound technology Dolby Atmos. The film received a native Atmos mix at YRF Studios. Dhoom 3 was given a 12A certificate by the British Board of Film Certification for Moderate Violence 12 December 2013, for Moderate violence.

The film was released across 4500 screens in India (inclusive of Tamil and Telugu versions) along with 750 screens overseas. Dhoom 3 had a release on 250 screens in West Bengal. The maximum ticket price of the IMAX version of Dhoom 3 was Rs 900 (US$15) in India.Cinépolis Pune set a unique record by hosting 54 shows of Dhoom 3 on 20 December 2013.Dhoom 3 was also released in non-traditional overseas markets like Egypt, Peru, Germany and Malaysia.

Dhoom 3 Movie Review :

This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 5.4 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 43,136.

This movie is really good and I can easily say its the best Dhoom from the series. The chase sequences are awesome and the so called “plotholes” people are complaining about aren’t really that bad. Aamir Khan’s acting is flawless and and indeed is “Mr.Perfectionist”. Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra’s acting is mediocre at its best. Kat doesn’t have much of a role but showcases her dancing skills. Songs are good and BGM is even better. If you can overlook abhishek and uday chopras ridiculous entry and enjoyed Dhoom 2 then I’d say go for it! I assure you you will not regret watching this one.

Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 4.5 star out of 5 Star.
