Summary
Featured reviews
3 actors from the path-breaking blockbuster RANG DE BASANTI( Aamir, Sharman, Madhvan) team up together with Rajkumar Hirani.. It couldn't get bigger! Loosely based on blockbuster novel ' Five Point Someone ' by Chetan Bhagat the movie deals with the present education system in India that whether getting more marks and better grades is better than gaining knowledge and is mugging up everything more useful than understanding it..
The movie has many hilarious scenes and everyone in the film form Aamir to Boman Irani to Omi Vaidya were superb in their roles.. Aamir has outdone himself.. Never in the film he has looked 44 year old... Film's music sounds mediocre but when viewed on the screen then the music sounds perfect.. Cinematography is awesome and so is the direction.. Raju Hirani's screenplay(you can easily ignore a few loose points) is a masterpiece and the film will achieve cult status for engineering students in a short period of time.. It has the soul which Five Point Someone had.. It is easily Aamir Khan's finest film to date.. The film's climax is fantabulous and is a shocker.. It takes everyone by surprise...
To conclude 3 IDIOTS has the potential to break all records and sweep all awards.. Watch it... You will Love it...
My Rating: 9/10
Thanks and Regards
Watched every weekend, didn't need no other work; Made me laugh made me cry made me become what I am today; Inspired me, motivated me to achieve success every day;
I was choking in the crowd, it made me roar aloud; I was nowhere in my career, it made me a flourisher; I used to be havin a bad time, it took me to cloud nine; I was in pieces, it fixed me; It made me a it made me a believer, believer.
I was in pieces, it fixed me.
It gave me another chance, I grew up once again Na na na.... Na na na.... Na na na.... Na na nana na....
However I just watched this film and i gotta admit it...
I loved it!!!!
At first i was like well "lets see what this movie has to offer"
(btw its also the first Indian movie I've ever seen) and I was like okay
its funny and then... like wow so thoughtful and reflexive! It really
made me meditate about my career and my real dreams! Its a very good
movie! I'll recommend it to all my friends!
You must watch it!
All is Well!
Odd to me is that they speak in part English, part Hindi through the movie, kinda like some speak "Spanglish" here I suppose. I know none of the actors but the acting was good, and there was plenty of humor. The characters were believable. Most movie dancing I find a little silly but I even liked the dancing routines in the bathroom.
I will be asking my co-workers for more recommendations after this one!

- TriviaAlthough Rancho is seen as a college student for most of the film, Aamir Khan who played the character was 44 years old when the film was made. In real life, he is only 6 years younger than Boman Irani, the actor who played "Virus," the director of the college.
- GoofsDuring the baby delivery scenes, supposedly taking place around 2003, both parties engaged in the video chat use Google Chrome web browser which was not released until 2008.
