Aaal izz Well!!


3_Idiots   

I don’t know where to start from. Never ever I have seen people clapping at least 10 times during the movie. I don’t really have words to describe the brilliance of 3 Idiots, but to sum up in one word, awesome can be close yet it lacks the superlative touch!!

If there is anything that I can hate about 3 idiots, then it would be second thing after “Tryst with GOD”, that forced me to write here against my effort to stay away from this blog for some time.

For me, undoubtedly, this was the most awaited movie; I even counted the release date. Apart from Amir Khan being the perfectionist and Five Point Someone as Engineers delight, there was something more that increased my curiosity and it was when, couple of years ago, I heard the rumour of FPS to be made on 70mm, I thought only Amir can do justice to Hari, Madhavan to Ryan and Sharman Joshi to Alok.

Welcome to the movie of the decade; without the exaggeration, this movie highlights the performance of Amir Khan as one of best of his entire career. Sharman is exceptional with his effortless and natural acting. And Madhavan impresses with his screen presence and as a narrator too.

Having read Five Point Someone, it was obvious to use analogy with character and flow of the movie. But, I bet, this movie won’t let you use analogy with FPS for more than first 30min. Having said that, “3 Idiots” is much beyond the campus confines and it does not target just the youth audiences.
If at all, you are an ardent fan of FPS, Raj Kumar Hirani touches every aspect of the novel, but in his own creative way. Hat’s off to him. “Hiraniji, tusi great ho! Tohfu kabool karo!

The script of the movie does impose idealism but with utmost conviction and at some point, though with smile, it does force you to think at our Grading System, added Parental Pressure and emphasizes on useless theoretical knowledge that just fulfils the physical needs of the person.

Lyrics and the music are in sync with mood of the movie. There are other characters, those deserves at least few lines, are Nerdy NRI with his hilarious Balaatkar speech, Kareena with specks and Lost-hope-with-Life professor.

3 idiots never fails to make you laugh even with usual Engineering jokes, hostel jargon like KLPD (in case you are not aware of this magical 4 letter word, use the Google power) and “Pudina Ki Chatni as Price indicator”. There are many more.

Full of funny punches, just perfect expressions and Hirani’s directional brilliance will drive you crazy. Actually, I am afraid of writing anything further to avoid any mention of story line in any form.

Just to mention a crib, (this movie won’t give you many), as I have travelled with AI-101, with few exceptions and non realistic situation like in this movie, even if by mistakes you appear to un-buckle your seat belt during takeoff, they will greet you with nothing less than- “Don’t even think of taking seat belt away from your fucking ass”. Mannerism and AI crew can’t stay together.

To cut the long story short, here is the bottom line - Go watch it!

Lastly, after watching the film, you won’t mind being certified as an idiot and I am still searching for a Certified Cynic, who can say this movie is any less than perfection.

Tryst with GOD…

tryst_with_god


I can't believe the fact that I am around this space after such a long hiatus.
I almost had to exercise my memory to get the URL right and could not really have re-visited this blog today, had I not witnessed the best ever Dreams of my Entire Life.

Some Dreams make you Laugh, Some make you Cry... But there are few, that make you Smile… And this was the one that made me smile.

It was indeed a special one. Someone came to me for Help. The one, whom I always call for help to take me out of every damn situation.

"When you are asleep you smile a lot; but unfortunately I don't see you much like this," Someone whispered me in the dark.

"But my friends say - I don't. And neither do I see the smile in most of my snaps," I replied with faded smile.

"They don't have the Cam, that I have," he said politely.
Which cam do you have and by the way, who are you?

I need your help Son! And I am the one who is supposed to help everyone.

"I did not quite get you and have I ever come to you for any help?" I questioned him unconvinced with his purpose.

"Almost every day, you call me for help. You even expect me to help you with your logistic problems. You think every gadget that you posses have a life time warranty agreement signed with me. You show me your tears when you sprain just one leg.”

He continued... making me amazed with his presence, his magical words and absolute respect for every single object in this Universe. I realized, I had the tryst with GOD.

“You lose your sanity after a minor confusion with your own friends and call me - GOD Help me!

That’s not all; you even call me during funny Semester Exams, stupid prolonged technical issues or in a time when you put your feet on accelerator instead of Break.

The other day, I literally had a laugh, when you were making dinner and called me - "GOD, I forgot what spices I put”. I had to tell you that too.

Do you get any idea as to why I always help you, irrespective of the fact that most of the time you are responsible for the problem?

I expect you to accept - I can't ever see my Son to be miserable or in any problem for that matter. Sometimes, I do delay in coming back to you; but my other Son needs me more than you do. Do you want your brother to suffer?

You have much more than Billions-of-people can just dream about it.

Every day, you Google for hundreds of thing; even you search how Draupadi managed five husbands. Have you ever bothered to search, how many blind people are here in this World? There are actually in Millions.

My own Sons can't see the beautiful world that their supreme Father has created. Actually, that’s my mistake and won't you help me to overcome it.

Every time you needed me, I heard you. Now, I need your help and I decided to come to you today as you did not call me this evening when you actually could have. I believe, you are ready to assist me now.

I will tell you how you can help me but before that let me ask you something.
Did you ever realize how lucky are you?

I don't expect - 'NO', but if that is what you ever feel, I have a million things to remind you.

Just minutes difference in Sarojini Nagar Blast and you know the rest. I am happy that you don't want to waste my time to make you remember anything else.

Now, to help me take care of everyone, don't call me every time where you can manage by yourself. If you see someone in need, you should go ahead and save my time.

One more thing I want you to promise me that one day you will reduce the count from my mistake.

The last but not the least, do call me when you are Happy. After all, your Father deserves to share your happy moments too."
