Dhoom:3 Movie Review: Watchable once

I am one of those very few people who liked the movie! The auto-rickshaw stunt, amir’s tap dance, bike turning into jet-ski, too many slow motion shots and un-revealed process of robbery, all contribute to the downsides of Dhoom:3 movie. Not to forget the Dhoom: 3 songs – incredibly boring.

Needless to mention, Dhoom 3 cast has Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, Uday Chopra, Jackie Shroff, Tabret Bethell as Victoria – the Bipasha this time for Uday Chopra, Siddharth Nigam – the young Amir and the list goes on….

Here's the meaning of the anthem of Dhoom:3...
Bande hain hum uske, humpe kiska zor - We are His men & only He can control us
Umeedon ke sooraj, nikle chaaron or - Rays of hope is rising all around us
Iraade hain fauladi, himmati har kadam - Our determination is strong & every step is courageous
Apne haathon kismat likhne, aaj chale hain hum - We start today to write our fate with our own hands

 With the long list of flaws in the movie, here is something that the movie caught correctly.. action and suspense. Well if you know the complete story (with complete, I mean the 2nd half of the movie), do not watch it all, you’ll weep from start to end. But with the suspense and base story created from the start of the movie, you’ll enjoy it without losing interest for the entire 172 minutes movie duration. The only point that earlier 2 Dhoom movies lacked was the base story. This movie has that. I wish one more thing was added in the movie - some high heels for Amir. They usually do that, here was it because they didn’t want it to be fake? Well, an addition to the long faking list wouldn’t have harmed the movie.

Few days before the movie release, a message was wandering around creating rumors. This is how it went: “Amir Khan dies in the starting of Dhoom:3 that only Uday Chopra knows, then he makes the master plan by teaming up with Kamaal Hassan and remaining robbery is done by Kamaal Hassan wearing Amir ‘s mask who reveals himself at the end of the movie”. Forget about Amir’s mask and Kamaal Hassan. Uday Chopra makes the master plan? Of all Uday Choppraa?? – the item boy of Dhoom series??

The auto-rickshaw stunt, although insensible, but was an entertaining one and Thank God, the 3-wheeler broke after few mind-boggling stunts, else audience would be found breaking their chair within the first 30 minutes of the movie.

Amir is known for the awesome messages he conveys from his movies. May be in this one, nobody heard his thoughts during the making of the movie. Let aside the logic, songs, Katrina's tiny role. One very wrong message shown in the movie is "When you fail, end your life". Rather it should have been Suicide is not the last option, it's never an option.

In short, the movie doesn’t need any logic to be applied, Watch it for the suspense, action and few circus stunts and of course if you are a fan of Amir Khan as I am or if you drool for Ms. Kaif.

Dhoom:3 review: Watchable once.

Tips for Online Shopping

With the emerging use of e-commerce websites in India, people tend to buy products online. From clothes to home appliances, from grocery to eye wears, everything has an online destination. The e-commerce websites are also coping up with the requirement of their customers.

As buyers often prefer buying products only after viewing and trying them, ecommerce websites introduced the try before buy option. Buyers do not wish to disclose their debit or credit card information to any website, so online buying websites have the Cash-on-Delivery option. Buyers are most of the time unsure about a product before buying as they haven’t physically seen or touched the product. So ecommerce websites have return policy. Shipping duration is another issue faced by the customers. But the online shopping portals now offer next day delivery too.

And the list goes on.. The websites have tried solving every problem of buyers to introduce this online buying technology in India.

But.. Are you still doubtful about this approach of buying products online? Here are few tips for online shopping:

• Secured checkout page: Ensure the checkout page, payment gateway page or the page where you insert your credit card/bank account details are secured. This can check with the URL. The URL should start with “https://” and not “http://” - ‘s’ stands for ‘secure’. There should be a lock sign near the URL.


• Return policy: There are high chances of you returning a product when it arrives at your home. The reason could be anything – wrong size, wrongly delivered product, damaged product etc. So always check the return policy of the website before hitting the Buy button.

Often, there are websites which do not deliver the products due to lack of inventory, poor management of orders etc. Any issue of the website will be visible easily with a few searches on the web.


• Keep a note of purchases: If you have bought multiple products through multiple online shopping portals and waiting for their delivery, do keep a record of them. So that even if the ecommerce website has neglected your purchase, you can remind them in case the product is not delivered within the specified period.


• Keep the bill and box safely: After we receive the delivery, we tend to tear the box and packing in an ill-mannered way! To minimize the losses, retain the box even after opening the package and safely remove the bill while tearing off the wraps.
