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.
Got to write here... I heard much, rather too much in appreciation of this movie.. and then finally couldn't resist myself watching it alone.. Wish could have watched it with friends :(
ReplyDeleteNothing much to say, nothing to compare to; just is an awesome movie which certainly reminds any Engineer about his college life (especially to a hostler)..
