Idiots, 3 or All Others?

Didn't Rancho, Raju and Farhan give you a good dose of sensible laughter,didn't they make a tear roll down your eyes, didn't they give you a good movie after all? According to me, all this happened after a good gap of time, and the movie was exceptionally good, though not flawless. Then why do all those critics out there seem to have a problem with the movie? It's accused of following the path of Munnabhai, taking an impossible dig at the education system,and the wit in the movie being dry. Crap!

When Kaminey was hailed for being exceptionally great, in its storyline and its screenplay, everyone wagged their tails in approval. How many people really liked the movie? Seriously, an average movie-goer could not even make out what Charlie was planning to do in the movie, and even if it made any sense, it was not engrossing.It was being praised for being too good. Crap!

And now, when Raju Hirani has teamed up with Aamir to make a movie that is good in its own terms,people are happy with the movie, and some very happy relating themselves to the characters in the movie.I'm one of them [:D], Rancho, look at me!. I'm soo in awe for the movie that, even after having it watched it twice at the cinemas, my BitTorrent download progress bar at the time of writing this post shows 43.4% [;)].


The movie takes you on a breezy ride, the Volvo XC90 R-Design SUV that Silencer buys in the movie, in a bid to keep up his bet with Rancho on Sept 5,looks so good on the road to Ladakh that you almost instantly fall in love with the beauty of the roads there. The cameraman, whoever it is, has done a too good job. I personally loved a shot in the movie. Raju jumping off the building. ViruS goes on in his 7-and-a-half minute afternoon nap, that he takes daily during which all his unproductive acts of shaving and the likes are to be done. Before going to his nap, ViruS tells Raju to decide between his future and his friends'. Raju, perplexed, walks to the window, and the wire of the lamp is stuck at his leg, and when he jumps off, the lamp comes hitting so hard at the screen, that you can the feel the intensity of emotion in that shot.Superb brilliance! I can't resist from using superlatives for the work that has been done in the movie. This movie,again pricked my grey cells about the discussions on my mobile, which would go on endlessly, but braked upon now.One reader would realise what this is about[;)], and this makes the movie even more better.

Though the scenes in the ending of the movie, in the school that is run by Rancho-the guy who goes about reforming others lives through his Aal Izz Well mantra, look like a bit of exaggeration of an ideal school that is shown in poor good old telugu movies, the feel good factor that Kareena and the 3 Idiots give you with their reunion after a long span of time, overshadow it all.

I'm not here to give a review of the movie, there are many people out there whose job is only to watch movies, and review them,and a lot if them have done their work.
Anyway, I give it a 4 stars on 5 of them. [;)]
