Buckle
up audience and get ready to
be entertained, as the brilliant
mind behind the Munnabhai Series
(Rajkumar Hirani) and Mr. Perfectionist
(Aamir Khan) are coming together
for the first time. The marketing
strategies followed have hit
the right chord, especially
the ‘alternate reality
gaming’ which has become
quite a rage. Will the sky rocketing
expectation of the most awaited
movie of the year be met? Can
Mr. Perfectionist give his second
Christmas blockbuster in a row?
3 Idiots does prove a worthy
follow-up to the Munnabhai series
for the Vinod Chopra- Rajkumar
Hirani duo, and a sure-shot
extension to the successful
streak of Aamir Khan. This might
not be ‘5 point someone’
as Hirani promised, but it has
all the ingredients to be ‘Munnabhai
3’ with several sequences,
reminding us the classic tale
of Laxmi Prasad Sharma.
The story is about two friends
Farhan (Madhavan) and Raju (Sharman)
who on getting a clue on the
whereabouts of their college
friend, Rancho (Aamir), start
a quest to find him. Rancho
in his college days was an exceptional,

curious kid, who questions the way education
has been taught. His two best friends Farhan
and Raju follow his ideals half-heartedly,
only to come under the bad books of the
dean Viru Sahastrabudhhe (Boman Irani).
To everyone’s amazement, amidst his
crankiness and naughty college mischief,
Rancho always comes first in his exams.
His exemplary friendship, love and naughtiness
make him a hero amongst his friends and
also to the daughter of Viru Sahastrabudhhe,
Pia (Kareena Kapoor). Rancho helps his friends
to achieve what they dream of, but disappears
mysteriously after getting his degree. Why
does Rancho run away? What’s behind
the mystery? Will Pia get Rancho? Will the
two idiots find the third? Find out in a
theatre near you.
The movie is a joyful ride from start to
finish with the pace tilting downwards only
in the middle of the second half. Few good
twists and the non-linear style of storytelling
help the proceedings in a big way too. But
Rajkumar Hirani borrows most of his jokes
from the net and also does go filmy in a
few scenes like the Sharman interview sequence
or Aamir crying for every little thing that
his friend does, or the scene where Mona
Singh is having a baby and the scene after
that. But scenes like the speech by Omi
for teacher’s day, or the first time
Rancho visits Raju’s house or Mona
singh’s marriage, helps in bringing
down the entire theatre with laughter.
Every single person behind the camera has
enjoyed what they have done and that shows
clearly in the final product. Whether it
is the DOP C.K.Muraleedharan, or the music
director Shantanu Moitra, or the editor
Ranjeet Bahadur or Dialogue writer Abhijit
Joshi (the last two sharing their credits
with the director), all have done a spectacular
job.
Initially, getting to believe Madhavan or
Aamir as college students might be quite
tough, but as the screenplay moves, we just
start enjoying the movie and their acting.
Aamir Khan is spectacular as Rancho and
age aside, we can’t think of a better
Rancho after seeing the movie. Madhavan
might not be looking as a college student
but he brings a new dimension to his acting
repertoire - a brilliant act. Sharman shows
his excellence in a role which seems to
be written for him. Kareena looks cute and
does her role with equal cuteness. Boman
Irani is brilliant, but what’s new
in it? Mona Singh is good in a small part.
The actor enacting the role Omi is easily
the find of the season; he is exceptional
in almost all his scenes and is a riot to
watch.
It’s been quite a while since we saw
the entire theatre clapping, laughing aloud
and whistling with you. It’s a complete
theatre going experience. 3 Idiots is easily
going to be the number one movie for quite
a while at the box-office and can very well
be the number one movie of the year. Hirani
manages to give an excellent entertainer
with a subtle message one more time.
Verdict:
AAL IZZ SUPERBB
