A movie well made
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.

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.

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.

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...........
