3 Idiots

3 IDIOTS isn’t an idiots’ movie. Its actually 3 engineering students story whose belief in life is “We can Do It on Our Terms” & that’s what trio did & even Aamir, Hirani & Vidhu did too, as they made their movie, which is made on their own terms.

1 more take, we mustn’t compare the movie with other films, be it from past / present, successful / unsuccessful. Viewers might even compare the movie’s value with Aamir’s Ghajini & Hirani & Chopra’s Munabhai series; it would really be useless task as the movie 3 IDIOTS is based on Chetan Bhagat’s popular novel ‘Five Point Someone’.

Movie’s storyline:

2 friends (Sharman Joshi & R. Madhavan) go on board in search of their missing buddy. They travel through perilous & dangerous landscapes of Manali, Shimla & Ladakh. So here comes in flash back their inner trip via memory pathway i.e. automatic flashback story & then their friend’s story comes into limelight – Rancho (Aamir) is an ir’repressible free spirit, who had touched/marked & changed their lives.

The story is about their hostel days that revolves around Rancho’s romance with lively Pia (Kareena) & also it swings to Rancho’s clashes with domineering mentor, Viru Sahastrabudhhe (Boman) & abruptly Rancho fade away…

Who was Rancho? From where did Rancho come from? Why he left?

Sharman & Madhavan’s friend who influenced & inspired them, so they started thinking artistically & independently, even as the conventional world would call them 3Idiots. So where went the original idiot now?

Screenplay writers Hirani & Abhijat Joshi & their screenplay associate Vidhu Vinod Chopra narrated a narrative that’s comes instantly out of life. This story which we can relate to or we can identify with it.

We often read out new reports about suicidal attempts & suicides by students, which happen because they have so much pressure to live upto family’s expectations. This movie portrays it at the very beginning, when a student ends up the life by committing suicide. But this suicidal issue didn’t end there, as these 3IDIOTS raise a relevant question: Is this a suicide or it’s a murder?

Rajkumar Hirani stabilizes rough & smooth happenings in their lives brilliantly & beautifully. There is a sequences scenes in the campus, straight from the ragging scenes at the beginning, when Omi’s (newcomer actor) speech contains word ‘chamatkaar’, it is changed into word ‘balatkaar’ (this scene surely entertain the viewer amazingly), the sequence then shifted to 3idiots embarrassing situation at Kareena’s sis (Mona Singh) reception, to Sharman’s home’s dinner scene, to Kareena & Aamir who drives Sharman’s intensely ill father to the hospital, they took him on their bike (visualize this & you can’t stop laughing). Just when viewers think that the story would crack, then a new story commences.

Every individual behind the camera gives their best input to their movie. Hirani & Joshi’s screen-play is the stronghold of the movie. Lage Raho Munabhai has got phrase called ‘Gandhigiri’, now new phrase comes this time- ‘All Izz Well’.
