Pritam Chakraborty music adds memento to the adrenaline rush. Title track, `malang' and `kamli' are a take home.
Aamir Khan: you know how serious he is about his choices. And you know how really he works hard on his characters he plays. In Dhoom: 3 Aamir is in great shape and gives a brilliantly mature performance.

His fans and audience in general will go gaga.
Katrina Kaif: boy she was never so delicious. The lass who has grown up tremendously as an actress has worked a lot for this and it shows. In `Kamli' Katrina is bewitchingly sexy. Truly it's impossible to shift your eyes from her. Fabulous.
Abhishek Bachchan: is in complete element and seems to be enjoying the fun. Highly entertaining.
Uday Chopra: is very funny and successfully makes you giggle helping your pulse rate to settle down after those adrenaline actions.
Jackie Shroff leaves his mark.
What Not
The second half drags a bit. More confrontation and one up show between Aamir and Abhishek would have being better. We wanted to see more of Katrina. Those looking for logic and intellect in such genre of films may find it amusing.
Conclusion: vrroomming with tremendous energy, pulse rising excitement Dhoom: 3 is a top-notch popcorn entertainment that demands a repeat run thanks to the powers of Aamir Khan as an actor and those dazzling stunts that take the audience to a hysteria.
