3 Idiots (2009)
8/10
Humorous,Entertaining but not a 'Masterpiece'!
22 February 2014
Pants down and Palms up!...A well directed cocktail by the 'Munnabhai' series famed director RajKumar Hirani,consists of good Humour n a social message,feel-good movie with a perfect entertainment quotient but somehow this very film failed to be called as a 'Masterpiece'...!!! ... *DIRECTION: We all know that Mr. Hirani always brings something new to his film...& this time he did not disappoint us too...Though the film is based on the fiction "Five Point Someone" of Chetan Bhagat,the film has its selfness due to it's awesome direction...!!! 8/10 ... * STORY: May the structure of the story remains unchanged but majority of the subplots n contexts were rewritten as the prime storyline which differs it from the original book-version of it n few of those changes seemed unnecessary n impractical to make it as a Film version with some Desi flavor of 'Five Point Someone'...! 8/10 ... * SCREENPLAY & Editing: Screenplay with new reformed storyline consists of some delectable 'idiotgiri',juvenile humors n tear-shedding moments but problem is that the core message got hammered out sometimes on the basis of Reality vs. 'Reel'ity...! Editing was good...! 7/10 ... * ACTING: Its the strongest part of the film!...Its a curious n eventful journey about 3 Friends who got admidmssion to a reputed Engineering College n all the threes were shared equal spaces on screen...So, its difficult to choose the main Protagonist...!!! Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan did another memorable n well apprising performance as Rancho... Sharman Joshi sparked as Raju n i think he spent most time on screen with his spontaneous appearance... R.Madhavan as Farhan did an excellent job as well as a narrator n also an actor... Kareena Kapoor was always a pleasure... Omi Vaidya did an amazing debut to the B-Town portraying the character of Chatur (Silencer)... Others were perfect at their roles but the Antagonist Boman Irani was the best among all....He Viru Sahastrabuddhe a.k.a. 'Virus' stood out in every criteria of shades of acting n impressed the audience most...IMO, the character of Javed Jaffrey went impractial sometimes...! 10/10 ... * MUSIC: This film shines with it's melodious n lovely Music composed by Shantanu Mukherjee... 'Jaane Nahin Denge Tujhe', 'Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh' n 'Zoobi Doobi' are my personal favorites... 10/10 ... In a country where students are driven to suicide by their impossible curriculum, 3 Idiots provides hope. Maybe cinema can't save lives. But cinema, sure as hell, can make you feel life is worth living...& this is the significance of the film...But, the message "Success nahi,Excellence k piche bhago" did not seem realistic at all n unable to accommodate with our modern Education system as well as our daily life...! .... Anyway, Kudos to the whole team of the film for giving us a gripping,entertaining,humorous Comedy film with some good messages...A movie to be cherished for refreshing everyone's mind... Good one n treat to watch it! ..... Rating: 8/10 Must watch!
