Aishwarya Dhanush's 3 is an intense-romantic drama, which is youthful at core. It can also be termed as an urban-centric film that chronicles a couple's three stages of being in love. The director has etched a story with limited characters keeping the new age sensibility in mind. She also ensures to deliver what the modern day men love to see on screen.
The movie 3 begins on a death note and instantly tells the audience that the movie is not all about regular affair and there is something serious about it. Within a couple of minutes, a flashback takes you to a lively atmosphere, where Ram (hero) is seen dressing up to go to college. On the rainy day, he leaves the house on his bike and sees a girl named Janani (heroine) repairing her cycle in the middle of the traffic. It does not take much time for him to fall in love, which makes the things what every boy does in the initial stage. In no time, their love blossoms and after facing some minor hurdles, Ram and Janani tie the knot. The first half of 3 goes like a usual love story and the story will take a serious turn in the next half. In the second half, the story takes a shocking twist, where it revealed that Ram is suffering from Bipolar Disorder, a psychological disease.
The filmmaker has convinced the two phases of the film 3, but in the last stage somewhat fails to impress the viewers. The performance of hero, especially in the climax scene and its penultimate sequence are heart wrenching. The heroine Shruti Hassan has equally competed with him when it comes to performance. In fact, she has tried to give a natural touch to her role, thereby avoiding overacting. Other actors like Prabhu, Bhanu Priya, Siva Karthikeyan have done justice to their roles.
The songs of 3 does not require any introduction, especially the track, 'Why this Kolaveri di...' not only drew the nation's attention but also our neighboring countries like Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
