3 idiots is a comedy film with a lesson in the end. The film might have some lacking points but in whole it a good movie and a fun watch.
3 idiots is a frothy, feel good, fun-filled, one-time-watch film that leaves you smiling but doubtful whether you want to walk back in for another viewing.
Borrowing only scraps from Chetan Bhagat’s ‘Five Point Someone’, 3 idiots churns out some juvenile humor and tear-shedding moments. The only trouble is that the film 3 idiot’s core message is hammered out so many times that by the end it begins to lose its punch.
Salt water is a fine performer of electricity. Everyone’s read it, but Rancho (Aamir Khan) applied it on his ‘pissed-off’ senior to get away getting ragged on his very first day of the Imperial Engineering College. An Edison-in-the-making, he believes in striving for distinction rather than success, which, in fact, is the core message of the film 3 idiots.
But excellence can’t be had if you strive half-heartedly or fearfully or, worst, involuntarily. Thereby come in three more characters – Farhan (Madhavan) who wants to be a wild life photographer but is doing engineering to fulfill his dad’s dream; Raju (Sharman Joshi), a poor lad who’s so afraid of failure that his fear has become a self-fulfilling prophecy; and Chatur (Omi) who’s a learning machine skillful at mugging up books.
Shantanu Moitra’s music for 3 idiots and Muralidharan’s cinematography complement the flick well. Rajkumar Hirani spins a yarn that despite a few spoils has its heart in the right place. For this alone, ‘3 Idiots’ definitely ought to be seen and taken pleasure in.
