In the year 1990, Iqbal Haroon Khan (Jackie Shroff) runs The Great Indian Circus in Chicago, which has fallen on bad times. Anderson's (Andrew Bicknell) bank — Western Bank of Chicago — which has lent money to Iqbal Khan, decides to close down the circus when Khan is unable to repay the loan. Young Sahir (Siddharth Nigam), the little son of Iqbal Khan, pleads with Anderson not to shut down his father's circus, as he and his father would soon be able to turn the corner. But Iqbal Khan's presentation before the bankers and Sahir's pleas don't help. Iqbal Khan commits suicide in front of the heartless Anderson, leaving Sahir devastated.Now in 2013, Sahir (Aamir Khan) has still not forgotten the high- handedness of the bank and swears revenge. He robs various branches of Western Bank of Chicago, leaving behind a message in Hindi and a clown mask. During the chase, he runs from top to the bottom of the Western Bank of Chicago building. As the Chicago Police Department comes to the scene, he runs into a van as they begin to surround the vehicle. Sahir jumps out in a BMW K1300R after a little explosion.

When the writer of the first two films of a successful franchise takes the director?s chair for a third shot at more of the same that is exactly what one gets: more of the same. This time around, the bikes, babes and brawls formula is dished out even more liberally than before.So, for the most part, Dhoom: 3 is a high-voltage action flick that relies squarely on known methods of the genre. Actually, familiarity of this kind isn?t such a bad thing. Since the audience knows what is coming and does not have too many unsettling surprises sprung at them, acceptability is that much easier. Despite being overlong (the runtime is 172 minutes) and a tad laden- footed at times, Dhoom: 3 stays true enough to its avowed intent to be passably engaging.Writer-director Vijay Krishna Acharya, who scripted Dhoom and Dhoom 2, mounts this one on a scale that is no less unapologetically lavish. He pulls off the implausible stunt sequences with a striking degree of flair ? and a lot of obvious help from the CGI department.Had the director invested as much energy on developing the characters beyond superficial levels and investing the dramatic situations with more depth than what one encounters in standard revenge dramas and cops-and-robbers capers, the third installment might have towered above the first two. A lot of time in the first 50 minutes or so of Dhoom: 3 is wasted on the protracted ?entry? scenes that are apportioned to the principal members of the cast. The bigger the star, the longer is the prelude. Aamir Khan, needless to say, takes precedence over everyone (and everything) else in the film, including occasionally the script.From the word go, he gets to ?perform? an array gravity-defying acts and motorcycle stunts that are difficult to describe. What?s more, Dhoom: 3 has the services of a full-fledged tap choreographer so that the star of the show can go beyond the bikes and biceps act and also do a Fred Astaire sans a Ginger Rogers. But since it is Aamir, it is all tip-top. Because he moves from a scowl on the face to an occasional sparkle in the eyes and back to a stoic, deadpan countenance with effortless ease, these longish sequences do not run completely out of steam even when they overstay their welcome.Katrina Kaif, too, gets more than her share of an eye-popping opening burst. It comes in the form of a hyper-dance sequence in which she starts off in a modest dungaree, discards pieces of clothing one by one as the act heats up and eventually strips down to a sensuously skimpy outfit while Aamir?s suitably impressed circus owner watches utterly transfixed. But the film could definitely have done without the gratuitous opening scenes involving Abhishek Bachchan and Uday Chopra. We all know what tough cop Jai Dixit and his skirt-chasing sidekick Ali Akbar are all about. Who would have needed another peep into their run and chase routine? First up, the duo takes on a bunch of Mumbai goons led by a man who is modelled on a Tamil potboiler baddie, first on an auto-rickshaw and then, you?ve guessed it, on a souped-up motorbike. They are then deployed in faraway Chicago to stop a super-thief, Sahir (Aamir Khan), who has one particular bank on his radar.This bloke is no ordinary anti-hero. He raids the bank?s key branches and triggers a shower of greenbacks before making good his escape.He is a magician and circus performer who pulls the wool over the eyes of the most hard-nosed bankers and the toughest Chicago cops. So the Yankees need an Indian policemen and his bumbling aide to nab him. He has learnt the ropes from his deceased dad, Iqbal (Jackie Shroff in a cameo), whose loan defaults put paid to his dream of keeping The Great Indian Circus in business. The head honcho of the Western Bank of Chicago intones: ?I am a banker. Everyone hates bankers.? He does not dare add: no one more so than the wily Sahir Khan.Dhoom: 3 is fun while it lasts, but it might not leave the viewer with the sense of having watched a film that is truly unique. But watch it all the same for Aamir Khan and the hi-jinks.

Once Sahir reaches adulthood, he begins to systematically target branches of Anderson's bank, each time causing hundred dollar bills to rain from the sky, and escape using an array of skills, from sleight-of-hand to motorcycle racing. At each robbery, Sahir leaves a message in Hindi and a clown mask, which leads the Chicago police to bring in Jai and Ali so Jai can frown at things and Ali can flirt embarrassingly with the flower of Chicagoan womanhood. Jai initiates a game of cat-and-mouse with the master thief, thinking that his ego will lead him into a mistake out of pique, but Sahir effortlessly turns the tables on the police, turning them into unwitting allies.The moment at which Jai realizes he's been had immediately precedes a game-changing (to put it mildly) twist, which shouldn't be spoiled. The second half of "Dhoom: 3" features a surprisingly adroit, if not terribly subtle, interrogation into the the morality of operating outside the law for a good cause. The movie stacks the deck a bit by having the banker be such a loathsome (and implicitly racist) bastard, but Aamir Khan and Abhishek Bachchan do a compelling job exploring the various moral and ethical colors involved in the cops-and-robbers game. Khan brings out the best in Bachchan as an actor, with his performance in "Dhoom: 3" finally shorn of the awkwardness and dullness into which his work in the first two movies all too often regressed. This, again, is a testament to the control Khan exerts over the movie: never heavy- handed, but absolute.

This movie is so bad so bad that it really is the worst of the series. Aamir khan is in the movie may be due to two reasons. 1.He was offered an amount he cant refuse 2.He was requested by the producers (maybe his relation with the producers are good & he did it just for them)What irritates me the most is that how come such a garbage like movie gets made?Logic is 0,story is 0 & script is 0 direction is almost non existent.They are showing action taking place in almost empty streets of new york & some other parts of USA (or other countries). Also if you have seen a lot of movies you can easily realise that a shooting is going on I mean you won't feel you are watching a movie you will feel like you are watching a movie shooting or behind the scenes. If the makers wanted to show the shooting of a bollywood film in USA then they should have made a documentary on that subject I am sure it would have been more interesting than this movie. Only good thing in this movie is the music. Rest all useless boring crap. Don't watch this movie. Its worst than an average indie film.
