3 Idiots.....The Movie.....FREAKING AWESOME.....


The idea of Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi and R Madhavan coming back on screen after the magic of Rang De Basanti was itself a major factor for people to get excited for this movie. Add to this The duo of Rajkumar Hirani and Vidu Vinod Chopra and the EXCELLENT music of Shantanu Moitra, u can surely expect a BLOCKBUSTER in true sense.

‘3 Idiots’ is one of the most entertaining movies of the decade that is sure to make you laugh your heart out. The movie is based on the simple theme but is presented in such a fine and delicate manner that you feel it hard to take your eyes off the screen even for a minute. Rajkumar Hirani proves himself a magician in creating the same magic of ‘Munnabhai MBBS’ and ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’. After spreading the message of ‘Jaadu ki Jhappi’ and ‘Gandhigiri’ Rajkumar Hirani brings out a new code of mantra ‘Aal izz well’ in his newest flick, ‘3 Idiots’.

But the first thing you realise about this film is not that a 44-year-old Aamir Khan can play a 22-year-old college kid, and he can get away with it. Well, he does. Kareena Kapoor is her usual self in the movie and does nothing to impress the audience though she looks great in the "Zoobi Doobi" song which reminds you of "Woh Ladki hain Kaha" from "Dil Chahta Hai".Boman Irani is the same disciplinary character and has taken his character ahead this time with his well- portrayed mannerism.R Madhavan has done an excellent job and Sharman too has matched the
performance. Needless to say, the film would have gone bad if there was anyone else in these roles. All have been perfectly cast!!

As Raju Hirani says, this film is about five per cent of Chetan Bhagat's bestseller Five Point Someone. There are some scenes which have just come right of the book.
Like always Rajkumar Hirani brings out a message in this movie too, which is tells you about chasing your dreams and living your life on your terms.

The film is actually a fairly serious take on a cruel examination system that gets passed off for an education system in this country.We produce IIT graduates who take up high-paying jobs. We don't make original thinkers who could pick up a Nobel prize for an invention. (I hope all my IIT Aspirants friends will agree!!)

THe only problem in the Film....would be is its length, and that is big enough an issue. A 20-reeler – ‘3 idiots’ is 3 hours long!! But..Hirani, however, is lucky to have an actor as strong as Aamir Khan to provide the backbone to his characters.

Dialogues are snappy and totally effective ("In India, you get a pizza in 30 minutes guaranteed but not an ambulance"). The soundtrack, background score and cinematography is top class. Well....this was the first movie I have ever seen where people gave a standing ovation after the movie is over.

If you thought Aamir Khan couldn't get any better than he is, think again. Aamir is the heart and soul of 3 Idiots and he proves why he's simply a class apart. I would say to people who are comparing him with other actors like Shah Rukh, "boss you are wasting your time, Aamir has excelled and...success uske peche zhak marke gayi he!"


Beautified with performances, 3 Idiots is a good watch which is sure to leave you with a smile and mantra “All izz well”.

2012....The movie....CRAP!!!


UNFORTUNATELY.....I planned last minute to go with my friends to a movie called "2012". Waste of money!! The only thing that I went was I was very curious to know about the things that would be shown regarding that year(Post for that after this)


If you have seen a single advertisement for 2012, you know what this movie is. I’m not saying you know the plot (as if it mattered) or anything like that. You know that the world ends in a spectacular fashion and all you have to do then is extend that out to 2 ½ hours and you have a movie that is completely boring to the point of exhaustion.

The real tragedy is this: 2012's production cost an estimated $200-odd million dollars. What's worse, it'll probably make that money back, spawning a sequel called 2013. I hope...the director spares us that horror!!

And if this movie turns out to be an accurate vision of our future, then at least our cell phones will work no matter how little of the Earth remains, planes will be so easy to fly that someone with only two flying lessons can co-pilot a cargo plane, and our cars and even our campers will have the handling to make razor sharp turns.

With such an exciting world, it’s a shame that the neutrinos in our planet’s core change so that the entire crust of our planet shifts. I wonder....how the Mayan's knew about this??

Overall...I would rate the movie 1/5...ONLY BECAUSE OF the great effects and...just because...they have shown the destruction of U.S.A?? :)

English defines class...does it??

Actually....I had almost stopped writing my blog....but after some incidents...I thought it was necessary to put forward my views.....

I know many people who think that speaking in english makes them of a higher class....these are not the people who dont know or understand marathi (my mother tongue) but they think that speaking in marathi is very down-market (that's what "they" say)

There are many young people(14 above ) or as a matter of fact even some middle-aged people....who are not ready or rather I must say disgusted or feel low-class speaking their mother tongue!!! English is a language accepted globally, I agree....but that doesn't mean people become high class if they speak in English.....I have many friends who speak in English just because they are comfortable with it....but they do it with due respect to other languages....but these so called "HIGH CLASS" people just dont care....today.....I have many friends....who refuse to call their parents 'aai' and 'baba' i.e. mother and father in marathi.....they prefer mom and dad over it.....this is just an example...there are loads of other instances...

These are the people who would curse leaders like Raj Thackrey....because what he says is true though I dont justify the methods which he uses.....I would like to appeal to all the people that please speak in whatever language you wish but NEVER side-line anybody or just make fun of somebody just because that person doesnt speak english....

I can see this situation in big cities.....I hope that this is not the situation in other states of our motherland and hope that people will atleast stop their superiority complex....

Students and Politics

Do students ever think of Politics? Most of them must not be thinking of it. The question whether students should take part in politics has brought up many debates....especially does not care about Politics. Politics is so called dirty game. But I never agree to this. Of course, it has some disadvantages. No need to tell that people who enter this exciting game should be mentally strong. But for students it is only wastage of time, distraction from studies. Politics covers all the interests of life-Political, economic, social and cultural. Being a politician is not easy. He has to be skillful. He should have a fair amount of knowledge in history geography, economics and other allied subjects. He should have the power and skill of Public Speaking. He should have to skill to make people understand things from his point of view. Not all Politicians are bad....and we can increase the number by joining it......
