Three Idiots

3 Idiots... Easily One of the best movies I have seen oflate... The story (allegedly loosely based on the Novel 5 point someone written by Chetan Bhagat) and the way it is told both are impressive... Raju Hirani once again proves why he is class act and Munnabhai wasnt a flash in the pan...

The movie is also a very Aamir Khan movie with all the Dil Chahta hai type comedy nicely added into the story.. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi and Aamir make you beleive their characters are your next door neighbours and are so real... Everyone watching the movie will identify with the 6 lead characters..

The movie sends a very strong message on the Indian Education System and the Mentality of our students both in the School Days and after they land into Prestigious Colleges. However the movie is anything but preachy and puts across the point subtly in a way that is truly Raju Hirani !. If Munnabhai was brilliant, this is even beyond.

Bomman Irani has landed a meaty roles as Professor Virus and carries himself with aplomb. He reminds me of several professors I have seen in my college. The death of the student like Michael is heart-breaking. There is a bit of melodrama in the climax in the rainy night when the 3 idiots get suspended. You can live with that, as the rest of the movie is par excellence. Kareena Kapoor doesnt have much to do. Vidya Balan would have been a better choice for that role and perhaps could have done a better job.

The college sequences are a real laugh riot. I laughed my heart out in most places. The emotional scenes were really moving and I really had tears in my eyes. It was moving. The music is alright. Zoobie Zoobie and All is well are foot tapping. Camera is nice and adds color to the movie. Especially the beauty of Shimla and Ladakh are captured beautifully. And I was very happy and proud to see my college shown so beautifully. All those places which look so ordinary when we walk on it, seem to appear with an added touch of richness in the movie. I guess Movie Camera really does wonders !.

The theme of the movie will linger around in the mind of students and Corporate Professionals for a long-time to come. That is where I see the success of the movie to be. Raju Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra can be really proud of the product they have produced.
