this movie might not appeal to the mass crowd looking for a typical family masala entertainment. but for some one who will enjoy serious sensible cinema, 3 is a definite watch. Its true that Dhanush has continued his genre of psychotic streak from Mayakkam Enna into this movie as well. But as débutant director, Aishwarya has created a movie that will keep you hooked through the entire stretch.

The first half of the movie is light and fresh, and almost every teenager or adult will relate to it. the sweet and cute love story of two school kids, that grows into a relationship is well shown.

the second half of the movie is a true showcase of Dhanush's acting. the darker shades of the character keeps up the suspense effect of the movie.

i would definitely recommend this movie for anybody who wants to watch a sensible different movie, which isn't just a brainless entertainment.

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.

Music has already gone rage.'Po Nee Po' is a killer track. So much freshness in the music. The kid is a real talent. Long way to go in the industry. The BGM was excellent.

Must watch for all movie lovers.

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 a 2012 Indian Tamil romantic psychological thriller film written and directed by Aishwarya R. Dhanush who made her directorial debut with the film. It stars Dhanush, who himself co-produced the film, alongside Shruti Haasan. The film gained high anticipation due to the viral marketing of the song "Why This Kolaveri Di". The story opens with the death of Ram (Dhanush). His wife Janani (Shruti Haasan) realizes that her husband did not die naturally, as she finds his room stained with blood spatters. She recalls memories from when they first met and the story starts with a flashback when Ram and Janani were 12th grade students...........

I just watched 3 a.k.a "moonu" 2 months back. There are many things to be told about this movie. Firstly, this movie was written and directed by a debutant director, Aishwarya.R.Dhanush. Well, all I new about her was she was director Selvaraghavan's apperentice, and wife to actor Dhanush. Now about the movie, she has done an AMAZING job in the story, screenplay, and especially the touching dialogues. Despite being a debutant director and writer, she has done a perfect job in the way she portrayed Ram and Jananai's characters. It was as if we were living in their story.The music was equally brilliant by Anirudh Ravichander. If we think out of the box, only then this movie can be our cup of tea. Agreed that there were a few flaws; "Why this koleveri di" video, a bit exaggerated scenes of crying, etc. But, come on! This is just Aishwarya's beginning! I agree suicide in bipolar isn't normal, but it has been shown clearly that Ram doesn't take his medication properly and towards the end, avoids Senthil from accompanying him into his house before the suicide. This movie is underrated, and deserves a much better recognition. Don't miss it. It's a movie of a lifetime. :)
