In a year, when Bollywood surprised and shocked us with Dev D, Kaminey and Rocket Singh, here comes the master blaster from director Raj Kumar Hirani.
Frankly, 3 Idiots blew my mind off--at least for some days after watching it. Probably, because we don't try to make such stuff in India.
Here is, at last, a film that throws a dynamite on our decrepit educational system and tell us to look at career choices in a different way. And Hirani does it in his inimitable way in weaving a tale (inspired by Chetan Bhagat's 5 point Someone).
He is helped by commendable performances, eye-catching camerawork (in some parts) and a background score that works well to heighten the impact.
If Aamir does a reasonably good job as Rancho, others like Madhavan, Sharmaan Joshi, Boman Irani, Kareena Kapoor and Omi (a sensational debut as Chatur Ramalingam) do justice to the script.
Right from the first frame, the film never leaves you off the hook. Hirani, who co-wrote the story with Abhijit Joshi (of Lage Raho Munnabhai fame), builds up a tempo that makes you ask for more as the story progresses. What I liked particularly about the narrative was its pacing--just the right dose of fun spiced with the heart-tugging condiments.
3 Idiots blends hard-hitting truths and humour so beautifully that the story never falls hard on the viewer. Hirani, undoubtedly, is the superstar of the film. He has set such a high benchmark for himself, that it is going to be difficult to scale a notch higher with every next film of his.
And if you are one of the many who always felt like an idiot in academics and work, this film will perhaps open your eyes and mind.
3 Idiots deserves to be seen by every parent, student and people caught in the career-trap.
Don't miss it for anything.
