Movie Review: 3 Idiots - Aamir all the way!
The annual Aamir’s flick for this year, 3 Idiots, was released on Dec-25, just in time for Christmas holidays. The movie is loosely based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel “Five point someone”. The script was written by the director himself, Rajkumar Hirani, and Chetan Bhagat has stamped his seal of approval on the script.
I had been constantly intrigued by the posters and the trailers of this movie – and wanted to watch this as soon as I could. I went to this movie last weekend in a local movie hall – and walked out with a resolution to watch every Aaamir movie that gets released from now on!
3 Idiots is a story about three students of Imperial College of Engineering (ICE), a premier Engineering college in India (based on the IITs). Rancho (Aamir Khan) is a think-out-of-the-box kind of guy, who comes up with innovative solutions to all the problems of life. Raju (Sharman Joshi) comes from a poor family, is highly superstitious, and is determined to do really well in his studies. Farhaan (Madhavan) has been forced to major in Engineering by his parents for the promise of a better future, but his heart yearns for something else. The movie is about the college life of these three guys, the stress they go through these days, how each one deals with this stress, and finally find their calling in life.
Aaamir steals the show in this movie. He is very well supported by the rest of the cast – Boman Irani, Kareena Kapoor, Sharman Joshi, and Madhavan. Aamir plays a character that is about 30 years younger than him – and he plays the character so well that you won’t even think for a moment how old Aamir really is! The movie has a strong message, albeit a cliché. The story keeps you interested throughout the movie. The movie is insanely funny – and you are guaranteed to laugh your guts out during the movie. In fact, I felt this movie was almost up there with “Andaz Apna Apna”! A lot of drama unfolds in the later part of the movie – in spite of being impractical, I think the drama has been well handled. The music score is pretty good too – thought it doesn’t boast of any runaway hits, the music score supports the plot well.
3 Idiots is a movie not to be missed. Aamir seems to be doing one better in every new movie – and he has kept that up with this movie too. The movie is a laugh-riot, and is guaranteed to lift your spirits. If you have resolved to watch only one Bollywood movie this year, this one has to be it!
