You watch 3 Idiots and realize that Aamir has done it again ! It started with Rang De Basanti which instilled the passion of truthfulness to Taare Zameen par which was a message about child-centric creativity, the similar ideas are propounded in 3 Idiots.

3 Idiots is a mixture of realism and Bollywood Masala which targets a very important, yet subtle issue of our Indian society. Considering that fact that most of the population in India is young and further that most of them pursue sciences as their degree and compete with a gargantuan mass of peers to stand where they are right now, the story just aims to get some saneness in our society, which the old wise men argue and the younger ones forget. Think and learn things for the love of knowledge, rather than the desire of success. It highlights the essential flaw in our system, that the person studying in IIT's and IIM's is not because of his passion for technology/managing skills but because of his academic abilities.

A contemporary theme executed with contemporary brilliance and carefully dramatized masala to keep the audience entertained. If the medium budget films did well last year, mainly because of the realism in them, big budget like this has all the ingredients for a blockbuster. The plot focuses of inventive thinking, engineering design which, I , personally well relate to and share similar opinions. The plot is like any Masala movie, with a protagonist which desires a change in opinions and a climax which shatters the mindset of the pessimist, a love story, a friendship packed with chirps of comic relief. The strong theme just completes the movie and drives the message straight to the eye. Aamir deserves most of the credits for his acting while Vidhu Vinod Chopra and his team have done a commendable job with the sets, locales and editing and lighting. Hats Off ! 10/10

P.S. : before watching the movie, i was shocked to hear a German and a Ukranian going bonkers about the movie. such is the brilliance of contemporary bolly cinema.

We've seen so much of the RGV stuff about " Jai Maharashtra" and the style. plus, talk about 'judwa' movies .. There are things which might make you feel there's something familiar what Kaminey offers. NOT.

Well, attempting a dark comedy is difficult, especially about mafia (that too in the settings of maharashtra). The movie is a dark comedy, with an adventurous plot and an action setting. The movie almost achieves what it wants to. its brilliant in execution, with some freelance direction and good screenplay. the story revolves around parallel tracks of brothers wanting to live their own lives, but they're bound to collide. The storytelling warps in the movie where we witness a normal movie and then suddenly so much happens that you fee like rewinding back. The pace is varying and there is something to keep you edged on your seat. And the final scene comes similar to "lock, stock and 2 smoking barrels", in an Indian environment, really perfect, spotless direction.

The direction just in-phase with the contemporary age of experimental cinema. we see perfect lighting for the scenes and low shots in the movies. the songs are nice, too. the movie in whole is a great watch for people who have the taste of seeing action or adventure scripts. A nice movie, watch it.

Shahid's acting is good, limited in his roles but very methodical. priyanka tries a kareena of JWM (or the asin of Ghajini, for that matter) and plays it smoothly. However, editing the viewer with a lost feeling sometimes. There are certain potholes scattered throughout the movie, which could have either explained or avoided, at least. and yes, the movie seems a little predictable sometimes, but its maximum criticism it deserves. go on experimenting Bollywood ! o ya, n i really wonder why it got A certificate .. there is nothing A about it..

I don't know what Persepolis means, but its just a great movie. Showing the Iranian war scene through a 9 year old, the movie is a breathtaking account of the changes in customs a country goes through in war. Very contemporary (With some similar style of Southpark series), the movie aims at associating everyone for the particular question- do you have a choice?

The direction and screenplay is brilliant, for a comic. The benefit of using just 2 colors in the movie is imminent. Just by showing shades of whites, the plot undergoes through the lighter moments of life and then follows the blacks with difficult phases of life. Its something which everyone has experienced in life, the unending struggle against life, the ups and downs of the tide which one rides on. The message is evident, Be yourself!

The movie aims to be emphasize the importance of being yourself and not yielding away in pressure. The protagonist, a forceful girl with no fear in heart against the world shows the Iranian society from her eyes. The modernist thinking clashes with the conservative 'religious' clergy, police and many more, only to realize that their motives are not exactly religious, but selfishly modern too.

Am impressed with the whole idea, the execution and the editing of the story. bravo! PS: English subtitles are the only way to watch it. Someone should dub in English and release in the western society.
