To me, this movie is perfection.

One of my all time favorites.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Recently, had watched this movie on TV. I missed to watch this movie in theaters after hearing some avg reviews, have to blame myself and I regret for this decision. Probably, why this kolaveri? shouldn't have happened to this movie which created a different outlook of the movie expectation. Everyone would have expected a jolly, romance fun- filled movie, but it is not. There's saying don't judge a book by its cover. Why this kolaveri? song completely spoiled this movie from getting its cult status which it deserved to be. Now the movie has become a very underrated and people are not interested to watch again. Director has set the mood starting from first frame showing Ram (Dhanush) deadbody which clearly says its not your usual regular romantic-fun movie. This movie is not for the audience who wants to spent a few hours by crunching pop corn, frequently chatting/texting in mobile phone. This movie requires the audience time and heart to be spent to understand the main two characters Ram and Nandhini, and once you are ready to invest, director (aishwarya) and Music director (Anirudh) takes you to their world and in their life which throws a LUMP in your throat. I usually, watch movies very seriously without missing a frame on screen. I was imagining myself to be Ram and watching it. I was able to feel each and every emotions that character was going through and finally i cried out a loud nearing last few mins. Hats off to the director for making me cry and feel the pain of the lead characters. This movie definitely need a patience watching and requires your time and heart to invest, you will reap great returns and its a wonderful experience that your heart is heavy with those returns Missed to become a cult classic - but for me its more than that...

"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)

Aishwarya's debut is not only emotional but it also manages to drive home the message she wants to convey with the velocity and ferocity required. The first half is full quiver as the eve of love and it successions are portrayed in a brilliant yet simplistic manner. Dhanush's subtle emotion paired with Shruti Hassan's angelic looks churn into a romantic piece that fissures itself in our hearts. The first half with it's humor and fresh screenplay arrows itself past expectations and penetrates deep to form expectation for a film that had so much hype. So far, so good, the second half doesn't take off with a vengeance, though a sense of intrigue creeps in, there is no development in that section instead the film takes a emotional route with thriller tinting it at every turn. The performances are brilliant, Dhanush is at his usual best with his expressions saying all. Shruti Hassan and the rest of the crew have given their best. Though the film doesn't pace up well, the emotional sequences emanate a sense of relativity that swirls and synchronizes with the story, Dhanush is a tribute to acting and he is the soul and flesh through which the blood of the story flows. Hats off to Aishwarya.

Really a Mokka movie u never saw....not even a 5 min entertainment in the movie...........Full of love,love and nothing found in the love.......More than Anirudh's massive hit Why this Kolvaeri DI, Kannazhaga pleases our ears more. The picturisation of the song Kolaveri, which went viral on the internet when released in November last year, doesn't match up to its popularity. Aishwarya's 3 is no exception. The hero suffers from a disease, but no valid explanation is given for that. Hiding Ram's illness from Janani is justified, but one wonders why Senthil didn't approach Ram's father who would've arranged for his treatment. Post-interval, the movie never gets a chance to rise. Dhanush and Shruti have performed well, both in romantic and emotional scenes. But their efforts have gone futile as audiences refuse to tolerate the same drama that they have already seen umpteen times. Shruti looks beautiful. Dhanush was not playing a mentally disturbed person for the first time in 3, and his acting has matured a lot.
