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”.
