ONLY IDIOTS WONT WATCH THESE IDIOTS

MOVIE: 3 Idiots

DIRECTOR:Raju Hirani

CAST: Aamir Khan, Boman Irani, Kareena Kapoor, Sharman Joshi, R Madhavan

Five Point Someone is certainly one of those rare books which flared both across the masses and classes of India. The masses loved it, the classes didn’t. The reason why the masses loved it was the intense drama, funny lines, simple expression and comic relief. The classes didn’t as the story got lost towards the end and you certainly feel that the story had a scope of developing in a better way. Hirani’s latest retains the masses loving element and the story developed is so well crafted that it hits exactly where intended; the viewers heart and the Indian education system.

We are at ICE, Imperial College of Engineering, which is under the traditional hands of Viru Sahasrabuddhe who believes that the very admission of the students at the institute is a process of eliminating competitors and setting your own foothold. Boman Irani plays him fantastically. And at this college have landed our three protagonists, Farhan(Madhavan), Raju(Sharman) and Rancho(Aamir). The campus at ICE can be a reference to any college really as most of the courses in the country have deviated from being “developers” to “trainers”! The usual college elements of an uncool geek (Chatur Ramalingam) and a chhotu type helper boy(Millimeter) and professors lost in themselves are all present here. The movie carries all its characters with complete ease and Hirani in his usual style of alternating humor and seriousness drives sensitive topics into people’s hearts without making them heavy with doses of advice but rather light and free.

With his third in a row Christmas release, Aamir Khan is probably looking at another blockbuster. With all cinematic elements in the correct place and in the correct proportion, All is certainly well with 3 Idiots and it should certainly take you to the new year with a positive feeling about Bollywood, which though happens, happens rarely.
