    Brilliant piece of work that will stay with you for sometime..!!

    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.

    Romance at its best

    Ever watched Donnie Darko? and remember how does it put us speechless in the final minutes..!! You could experience the same in this movie as well, a touch higher feel indeed.

    3 - Starring Dhanush and Shruthi is an honest attempt of Romance genre in the recent past. The best part is that the romance depicted is simple and passionate as well. The movie is a mix of regular and rare happenings. First half of the movie, happens to everybody in their life, which is followed by not-so-regular happening in the second half.

    The most important aspect of this movie is that, it also focuses on the after marriage part rather than just what the regular movies do.On this note this movie is not a regular romantic movie.

    The significance of the movie are music by Anirudh and acting by Dhanush. All the support casts were equally good and Shruthi could have delivered much better.

    The let down part in the movie would be less-realistic second half. Or the fact that it is not very common which gives us nothing to relate with the final half. Simply, the transformation from realistic first half of the movie to rather less-realistic half is unconvincing.

    On the whole, it is definitely an excellent movie simply if you believe in it.Considering the music and the passionate romance, I would highly recommend this movie.

    all about 3

    it is a movie for matured minds,so i kindly advise to the kids and those who are immature can prefer some other movies. The acting of dhanush is extraordinary,he gave his best shot and the movie carries a good message that "suicide is not the better solution to get reveled from all troubles".And i agree that shurthihassan was not apt for the role, because she doesn't seem to be a girl from middle-class family.And the BGM is the biggest plus for the movie, i hope anirudh have a good feature.First half had a good pace with more commercial elements but the second half showed off the acting skills of dhnaush,you cant expect much from a actor,he done his best.

    A Brilliant,Beautiful and Touching Masterpiece...

    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. :)

    This movie made me a Dhanush fan!!!!!! Awesome must watch movie!!!

    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...........
