3 Idiots-My Rating: *****The best movie I have seen in last one year and perhaps for many days to come.. Far from being a desultory act, the movie sets a spirit of déjà vu in the audience when it starts, when it progresses and when it ends! This movie will be remembered for its polemic rather than its entertainment. The movie sends a very strong social message without compromising on humour!
First of all hats off to Aamir..what is he? I mean he does just one movie per year which alone breaks all the rules and records to hit the audience where it matters the most. At Heart. Yes. And he succeeds yet again. He has again hit the nail at its top. This time he has brought up another major issue in the Indian education system and social hegemony that surrounds it.
Have you ever wondered why does India lag far behind other nations in technical innovations and patents despite having the World's largest pool of talent?(XAT-2006 essay!!) Why is it that almost every engineer wants to do an MBA? Why is it that big multinational companies, despite having their back office operations in India, are still reluctant to open their R & D centers in India? Why is it so that India’s youth is foisted upon to join a rat race of competing against one another to secure admissions to best engg./medical colleges of India even if they are willing to do photography? Is it due to the burden of vox populi? Have you ever thought why is “marks in a subject” more important than “learning” in India? If any of the above questions puts even 1% “tring tring” on your grey matter, then this movie is for you. In fact, I believe every Indian should watch this movie be it parents, professors, students or relatives, even if they have read Five point sm1, the novel by Chetan Bhagat, the master mind behind the concept of this movie.
Coming back to the movie, excellent performances by all the 3 idiots, Rancchoddas Shyamaldas Chanchad (Aamir Khan), Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi) and Farhan Qureshi (R Madhavan), who made no room for a peccadillo in making the characters of the novel alive. And another actor, who steals the show with his Einstein getup and demeanor, is Boman Irani. Watch out for him and you will think twice before cheating in your next exam! A typical “frustu” professor who had become the director of the college!
And yes, you will keep on laughing till the end on the speech given by a typical “rat-race champ”, Omi, the bengali friend of the idiots being talked about. Watch out for his chamatkar turned balatkar speech! Go with your family and watch this movie and don’t waste more time reading its reviews..:)
BBye for now.
Aal isz well..
