Dhoom 3: "The Prestige[ous]" movie of India

After watching the latest and most awaited action thriller of India, Dhoom 3, I updated my Facebook status by typing "Dhoom 3: "The Prestige[ous]" movie of India". It was not in the sense that bollywood and Amir Khan fans consider it to be a prestige for India. Rather, I meant that this movie drew its concept from the famous Hollywood flick The Prestige.  
But this version of mine should not be taken in the sense that this movie is a copy-paste crap like other Hindi movies. If we see in the terms of technology, animation and shooting locations, this movie serves to be the best dish for the appetite of entertainment. Needless to say that Amir has stolen the pie of fame (or pie of left fame) from Abhishek and Uday.

The only thing this movie lacks is the suspense behind robbery. But to add to my point, one may argue and ask was the Chicago Police such a big failure that it had to call ACP Jai Dixit and Ali. At last, there is also a hope of Indian touch by introducing some South Indian or Rohit Shetty style or Anti-Newton stunts in the beginning of the movie.

Murder 3: Unfortunately no one was murdered on this Valentine


On the poster of the 2013 (supposed to be) crime thriller Murder 3 a layman finds the sentence written "This Valentine, Love will be murdered". He is impressed to see the title and the poster presentation and goes to watch the movie. But what he gets. 
All he gets is no murder, no violence and just a weak suspense. Then what was the need to name this sequel Murder 3?  Was this to befool the Indian audience?

In my opinion, even if this movie was copy of the "The Hidden Face" such movies need to be banned from the Indian box office in the public interest.

Krrish 3: non-sense cheating of Hollywood.

The face behind the bollywood super hero Krrish, i.e., Hritik was in news for last 2 years for his body building process for carving out the shape of his body. This Diwali, it was the opportunity for this hero to show his hard-work. The question remains whether the huge investment by Roshans is worth appreciation.

Some of the movie-buffs have criticised the movie on the count of:
  1. Cheesily sentimental and overly explanatory dialog that insults the viewer's sensibility and intelligence.
  2. Characters copied from American comics and movies like Avengers. Examples are the character of Kaaya played by Kangna Ranaut and the character shown to have a long tongue, which are allegedly copy of the characters from 'X-Men' series.
  3. The name "Maanvar" given to the characters created by Kaal (Vivek Oberoi) was worth laughter. 
  4. Excessive indigestible technology and stunts.
  5. The song "God Allah aur Bhagwaan" has been criticised as a crap in the movie.


However, people have loved the new dimension given to the Bollywood. The only things that marred the attraction were the highly charged emotional content and immature copying of the Hollywood characters.
