3 (2012)

Wonderful Movie

Just perfect...

Best movie ever!

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

"3" is nothing but a couple's attempt at feeding the narcissism of the husband, here by couple I meant Dhanush & Aishwarya Dhanush. That they have taken recourse to their half-backed knowledge of Psychiatry is despicable. It is stupid & irresponsible on the part of the makers indulging in such appalling disservice to Mental health system by time & again portraying Psychiatric illness in poor light & thus perpetuating stigma. Trying to demonize a disorder like Bipolar Affective Disorder which is one of those disorders which has a very good prognosis is disgraceful.It is a wannabe Selvaraghavan movie. Right from the first frame till the last there is semblance of all Selvarghavan movies minus the emotional connectivity which used to be so effortlessly generated in his movies. It is a wannabe "different " movie. The makers seem to have ventured into the movie with idea of making a "different" movie & hence tried to manipulate with the script to include many trivial "novelties" which they thought would make the movie look "different". What justification does the screenplay has for the lead pair getting married in a discotheque? What hinders makers in doing basic homework of the subject taken before starting a project. With their inadequate knowledge when they handle such sensitive subjects they do more harm than good. With all those factual inaccuracies & fallacies they have made Bipolar Affective Disorder (here they have tried to portray the most rarest of rare type "Ultra ultra rapid cycling BPAD" ) to look one of the most dangerous mental illness one would have & it is better to end one's life rather than getting treated with numerous options available & lead a normal life as any other. Stigma is a very difficult challenge to circumvent but irresponsible people like these by making such hedonistic movies are only going to propagate it. Dhanush has tried to showcase what all he can for no reason at all. Shruthihassan is wasted in unidimensional role in which glycerin has more work to do than herself. Sunder continues from where he left in "Mayakkam Enna" while Siva tries to ape Shanthanam. Parts between Prabhu & Dhanush are interesting. Velraj's Cinematography is good. All songs in the movie are excellent. Music is by Anirudh. He has done well in background score as well. Pity that such wonderful compositions are wasted by poor picturization. There are a few bright spots here & there. The visualization of auditory hallucination is brilliant . On the whole, "3" is artificial , factually inaccurate , irresponsible , loud & futile attempt.Bottomline : Why this Kolaveri D(hanush)

Let me first tell you that don't go with any expectations just becoz of the Kolaveri Di song.Amazing performances by Shruti Hassan and Dhanush.The emotional scenes have been well enacted by Shurti Hassan esp in the climax when she cries her heart you.If you follow her journey carefully you wil understand her pain.Dhanush as a school kid is not so convincing but in the second half he plays his a game .what a performer.take a bow.he is unpredictable makes u sshift at the edge of seat.Watch it for amazing storyline,screenplay and outstanding performances of lead cast. Its not a typical masala flick but a film on a topic that hasn't been touched on.

awesome movie it shows real lifethis movie will always stay in my heart i have not written a single review in my life this is the first time i am writing one.shruthi has improved in her performance. dhanush acting is very good. mind-blowing movie.it has very good songs.anirudh has done excellent in is debut film.Must watch for all movie lovers.The BGM was excellent.Lovely movie! Breathtaking performance by Dhanush! One of the finest actors of the present generation. His character will stay with you for some time even after leaving the cinema hall. Complimented well by Shruthi & the supporting cast. Won't be surprised to see Dhanush getting his second consecutive national award. And of course Aishwarya deserves a huge applause for making all this possible.Great direction indeed. Brilliant script. The 3 stages of couple's life has been shown brilliantly.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, specially the first half, its just a ride of feel good emotion. The second half kind of drives away but still i enjoyed the brilliant work by a debutant director i am sure she is going to be a gem in Indian cinema However there is 1 thing that i am not convinced about "the disease" I have worked with lots of bipolar patients, treated many, i am completely aware of how bipolar works, and its nothing like in the movie, although the doctor in the movie mentions that it is something he hasn't seen before , it is just hard for me to believe that bipolar can present in that way, as a result after 1 point in the movie i had a hard time digesting the rest, there are thousands of people around us, who have bipolar and are completely fine. i really wished they picked a different condition than bipolar which would have made it more believable, but overall kudos to the team, as always dhanush knocks it out of the park and still holds the list in my heart on 1 of the best actors i have seen in my life.
