Circus wala sirf aankhon ko nahi, maut ko dhokha dete hai.... Roz.
Andddd the trailer arrives. Super follow up to the teaser. Brilliantly cut with bgs, action, punchlines and look into all the characters.
Trailer starts with a pleasant surprise, Jackie Shroff, I didn't knew he was part of the movie. The way Aamir describes his profession resembles how Michael Caine described the three parts of magic trick in 'The Prestige'. But the similarity ends right there. I could see 3 background themes used in trailer, one is when Aamir puts that hat on for 1st time during start of trailer, then the famous tune of dhoom franchise coming after Aamir's dialogue 'main ghar aa gaya baba', and lastly the signature tune of Aamir in the movie used in teaser also, coming right at the last. All three works for me. Also, 'Dhoom with me' words used at 1:10 might be the title song this time, in Dhoom2 it was 'Dhoom again'.
Aamir is easily the scene-stealer in the trailer itself, and I bet it would be with film too if its a well-made movie. Love his entry scene that involves Hat. The first scene where he is running over building vertically I am hoping was a magic, and not real stunt that would look very bad otherwise. The big change one can see is that Aamir brings more of acting magic and not as much of style as both John and Hrithik did. That could be a reason why script has him not just a thief but also a clown. And it probably works both in favour of Aamir and the film, allowing the actor to take the centre-stage.. what more you want. I had loved 'A signature' in dhoom2, and happy they have kept something similar and infact added more to it. We have a Joker signature (not really similar to joker of 'the dark knight') and a hindi note 'bank waalo, tumhari aisi ki taisi'.
The use of 'Bandhey hai hum uske' line right at end was a master-stroke, another surprise. I thought it won't be used.
Somehow in Dhoom2 I felt Abhishek looked dis-interested in his character, as if he wasn't willing to catch the thief. Here, in clean shave he is looking better, and probably much more keen, with possibly toughest thief to catch. But, he is saddened with that same cliched line shown in trailer itself 'chor aur police ki sirf dushmani hoti hai'. Come on, bahut sun liya chor police dialogue from him. (He says similar thing to John before 'salaame' and to Hrithik before 'dil laga na' in Dhoom and Dhoom2 respectively) I hope his character is much better written.
Uday has lesser shots, and no dialogues in trailer, expectedly, I hope screenplay and editing takes care of his role, no over-dose of his comedy please.
Katrina Kaif looks smashing hot, and what exact role she has is a question, is she working for Abhishek to catch Aamir (which I hope she isn't doing) or she is with Aamir only from start. Love that shot where she is dancing and puts her leg onto Aamir's shoulder, while Aamir looks at her without giving any emotion towards her.
Some great punchlines used too. Stunts I hope aren't limited to only bikes. Hope there is good mixture of magic and stunts.
They have shown the climax scene shot in trailer, I would so love if they have a major twist in the end. For a change, let the villian run away. John died in 1st one, Hrithik stopped stealing in 2nd one, here it has to be something different.
Vijay Krishna Acharya gave me terrible headache with Tashan, so that fear will surely be there. If the screenplay is pacy, and connectable drama, this movie won't fail.
At the moment it looks like the year is ending on a bright side with a Aamir Khan performance to look forward to, plus his pairing with Katrina.
Bring on the music first.
