Dhoom 3 (Blu-ray) (FSK 12)

Dhoom 3. My Personal Favorite in the Dhoom Series.
I just watched all three Dhoom movies for the first time. I have never seen a Bollywood film before the Dhoom series but I really enjoyed them. Dhoom 1 and 2 were definitely more Bollywood than Hollywood (which is great and defines what I love about the movies). But Dhoom 3 had a bit more Hollywood than the previous films.I liked Dhoom 3 the best. It still felt true to the previous films but took the story in a slightly new direction whi h felt new and refreshing. I couldn't believe how emotionally invested I was by the end scene of the film. Definitely the deepest and least superficial of the Dhoom series.I honestly don't understand why it has the lowest rating of the three films. It is on a whole different level than the previous two.This was my first introduction to the Bollywood film world but it won't be my last!

Really, really good -- as usual for the series.
The Dhoom series is truly engrossing, engaging. and enjoyable. Well worth the money (except the later versions, which are a bit beyond expensive).I think the first two were more well-rounded, and the females definitely more watchable/likable in them.But the men are ever great in acting, agility/abilities, and fine eye candy.In this one, the lead Amir, not "handsome," is completely gorgeous, and a fine, fine actor, no less.The female interests in this film were, to me, Blah, and more or less added because they "had" to be.While a truly engrossing film, it did run too long, and should have been shortened, better edited.But it is emotionally quite tugging, and well-done; especially for the one guy playing two parts.(The young boy in it is also a true charmer. As well as the two opposite-natured detectives: great guys.)And since Bollywood is known for music and dancing -- these aspects were outstanding, the dance numbers much like Cirque du Soleil on steroids: amazing to watch, and Amir is totally mesmerizing as a male dancer.Overall, a great trio of films... which were sadly ignored in the U.S. Strange, Bollywood actors are known world-wide and have a huge following; but in the U.S., it's as if they never existed. Not fair....

Great Dhoom movie!
I had never seen this particular Dhoom movie, but decided to take a chance and buy it. I wasn't sure after seeing this was nearly a 3 hour movie. I thought the first half of the film wasn't as focused as the second half. But, I was really invested shortly after the second half started. The main movie is on the bluray disc, and the special features are on a DVD. The bluray case is a nice heavy duty one, that should hold up well for anyone getting it shipped.I have just ordered the Dhoom 2 bluray. I haven't seen that one since it came out in 2006. I'm looking forward to it!

Sweet Home Chicago
I have been a fan of the Dhoom movies from the first time I passingly heard the main theme. Out of the three I have seen, Dhoom 3 has to be my favorite for several reasons. Firstly, I thought it was better thought out than the previous (even if I love them so much). It was refreshing to see the "villain" of the movie having a reason to perform these grand heists. The storyline was superb and had me hooked within minutes. The English subtitles were much improved. It was much easier to understand the translation, and much is mostly due to it's success.Growing up outside of Chicago, I was thrilled that the movie mainly took place "in my home town." It was extremely fun to pick out familiar landmarks and see them in full glory in a foreign film. I thought they did a brilliant job at highlighting some of Chicago's most beautiful features, as well as Chicago's early roots as an industrial hub (with the industrial tap sequence). It was also nice to see, what I perceived as, a few nods towards some of the great cop chases from The Blues Brothers movies. --It had me giggling like a small child. These factors even got my parents, who are not fans of Bollywood at all, to watch the movie. They thoroughly enjoyed it as well as I, even if upon first seeing Aamir Khan and our immediate thoughts were, "When did Mr. Bean turn into such badass?!" --Mind you, a very handsome and young Rowan Atkins.The music is fantastic as always. There is not a single song that is not catchy. Every piece makes me want to get up and dance. The score is energizing and breathtaking. It leaves you in awe. The choreography? Absolutely stunning.The only issues I had with the film, which are extremely minor, were a few things. One, being the $20 bill used. Those bills didn't come out until well after 1998. It's understandable though, considering it's extremely rare to come across an old $20. The other, was the dam. To my knowledge, we do not have dams like that in Illinois. We have locks, but those could never be confused with a damn. It's no biggie either, considering the ending is so heart wrenchingly beautiful. Lastly, and it wasn't that noticeable, was the apartment Jai, Ali and Victoria are in after Jai and Ali refuse to return to India. We don't have mountains in Illinois. Illinois is pretty much flat with the exception of some particularly large hills. There were a few other little discrepancies, but none of them are big enough plot holes to merit a lower rating.Truthfully speaking, Dhoom 3 has easily become one of my favorite movies. It is never not a good day to watch Dhoom 3. The endearing nature of the film (no spoilers here, folks, sorry) leaves me feeling warm and fuzzy, while the total badassitude of the characters and plot has my full focus.Plain and simple, this movie is frickin' awesome!~Blessed be and merry meet

what used DVD's should be like
Although used, there were no visible scratches on the DVD and it played fine; no pausing, no skipping. I was able to enjoy the movie in one sitting w/o interruption- the way it should be when viewing a movie. I would order from this seller again.

Emotional and intriguing movie, I love this
I love all the dhoom movies, PS I love Hrithik so much and enjoy all his movies and never think I could like any other Hindus star, but Amir did a wonderful job with the dhoom 3, great job guys love you all. I pray I meet you all one day.

beautiful twists and stunning imagery during musical scenes and beyond
Beautiful throughout and makes your heart soar (especially with the cirque du soliel-esque acrobatic scenes). Such a beautiful back story for the undecided antagonist of the film, and the ending will make sure you remember this wonder for a while. So many beautiful and bittersweet strands woven in this web of a fantastic spectacular for the eyes and soul to behold. Wonderful performance by Aamir Khan and I wish there were more scenes with Katrina Kaif. The second half of the movie brings us back into the world that is thrust upon us in the first arc of the story and will propel you throughout the beautiful story. It has left a mark on me making me want to come back to it soon.

Dhoom 3
The 3rd movie from the Dhoom franchise. Bollywood’s own version of ‘ The Fast and the Furious’ franchise. A decent movie, would recommend to at least watch once. Very clearly ripped off parts from the Hollywood movie Prestige. I personally preferred the first 2 movies in the Franchise. Watching Aamir Khan dancing in the beginning in the title sequence is kind of hilarious though. The dvd quality is crisp and clear. Can not fault the dvd.

Good blu ray, great entertainment!
Out of the big bollywood films of 2013, this is easily the best. Aamir shows his class with a difficult role and nobody else could've done it as well as he's done it. The songs are fab and the superb audio on this BD does them justice. Katrina does some dancing that NONE of her rivals could've pulled off. AB is surprisingly good too. It's simply a great entertainment package!
